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 currently we Aren't even near a Town, and the more time we waste the less chance of finding the children alive, so that request will have to wait :/
two miles wait noobs... anyway, let's keep going, leaving most of the stuff, but protecting the treasure we got with a bunch of spears set up to fall on anyone trying to steal it. there is a way around it tho, that only we know.
You mean what's left of the house...(sound of dice rolling) The animals will let you know if anyone approaches the "house". So, the Ranger consults the map of the Darkmoon Vale he recieved from the rescued parents and notices there is a spot circled on the map that stands out. It appears to be some kind of monument high upon the mountain range (somewhere between 20 to 30,000 feet up) there is a note on the bottom of this map which reads:
Ruins of Droskar's Crucible. Dwarven-Craft Pillar outside details "Ballad of Glintaxe" Home to "Strange and Dangerous Creatures", experiments perhaps.
(sound of dice rolling) You have never heard of this location before, but it sounds like those Dwarven adventurers at The Roost might know something about it.
Oh darn.... Am i stereotypically Ranger-looking????
"I say we go back and ask those Dwarves. Though it will be taking up time, I don't want to go face an enemy unprepared, let alone not even knowing what enemies we can expect."
Let's go speak with the Dwarves then. So, do I get the Longsword? I also request a small sum of money(maybe 120 silver). It's not for me, but like a good Paladin, I want to donate some of what I've gotten from my adventures to the church of my deity(or deities).
yep. I didn't punch him so it's ok. I will intimidate him if I can't get anything out of him diplomatically. But, let's just leave the treasure for now, when we go back, we will bring a wagon or two.
I only want the sword. Whatever money I'm allotted, I will give it about 50% of it to the church. I really like them. xP. Also; at the next available time, get to the nearest church of Torm/Tyr/Ilmater and thank them for my victory.
Yep, I want to talk to the Dwarves again. They're not my biggest fans, but I'm sure we can reach some kind of accord.
