I have a PDF of the Player's Handbook, which I will e-mail to you if you don't have a copy, you don't need to memorize it or anything, but it would help to have it handy for this game.If you want to play another race,then No level adjustments above +1.If you give me a good reason to play a race that's not +1 level adjustment I might let you. If you want a different class, just ask(I know all classes for 3.5).

"Well, it all started when i was about 70, the height of my adolescence..... Coming from a quite large family, I had 2 brothers and a sister, Xavice, Mardak, myself, and Aluvyre *quiet gulp*. Because there was such a large gap between my own and Aluvyre's births (about 60 years, an average Human's lifetime), I was always treated as the 'little sister' of the family, and was always pushed around by my 2 older brothers and just poured over by my mother, who cared for me very much ( I think even more than my brothers!). But enough about that..... by 70 my parents could tell i was a little 'off' from y 2 older siblings, and that my destiny seemed to be aligned with that of Evermeet's somehow.... After being taken to the High Priest of Corellon Larethian, the prophecy was confirmed, that indeed the stars smiled upon my future..... After that point, all i remember is just constant, hard training from my tutors and elders, and through training i learned my preference, the Bow. A good 20 years later of nothing but Training, I was approved to be sent on my 'Quest', and I was put on a boat with a few rowers and an old Priest, who also made sure I was ready for my journey, spiritually and physically (don't ask). Eventually arriving on the Mainland, they left me on the shore of such a vast world, and at first I was absolutely clueless as to what I was doing here. I barely knew a word of Common, and there wasn't a face in sight that I could even speak to if I did! Walking for many days away from that desolate place on the Shore, I settled down in the Forest, the one place I truly knew, but this forest was strange.... It was infected with some strange reptiles I later learned were called 'Kobolds', and they were not very happy with me being there, believe me..... Quick with the bow and at learning, I quickly became adept at their hunting, and after about 48 years of such a Lifestyle, I came across the Paladin Hyperion over there on a road. I decided to join up with him on his adventures(I had learned Common from the occasional lost Adventurer in the Woods), and from there my story with all of you start."
"I still have no idea what I am doing to be honest, but in my journey thus far I have learned much, and I have a hunch said 'Destiny' has something to do with the past events *sigh*, but truly I am just as clueless as you are for most things."
"How could you say such a thing? I don't know you very well still, but each of us has our own path, and none are less or more important in my opinion."
"If you were to die and I could have stopped it, I could not live with my self. If yo... nevermind. Why should a common exiled vagabond not give his life for the life of one of such high esteem?"
"Well i don't know how to answer that..... your path may be equally important or even more than that, the Gods have their plans for you, they just have not become evident yet."
"I believe i no gods. What purpose could anybody have for someone have for a boy whom not even his own family would have. My father told the officials I was a traitor. I was like a human eighth year!"
"Everything happens for a purpose, not from chance.... No matter how bleak it may turn out, know that the Seldarine always watch over you and have their plans for you."
