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).

"You cannot change the nature of such a thing," the Paladin replies immediately. "Have you forgotten that it tried to kill us?" Man, I'm starting to not like my character's personality, he's a bit of a jerk. I'll have to make him do something nice next time I get the chance, before I get him killed off =P.
"People can change their alignment. Beasts cannot. The Manticore is evil, and any attempts to change it will be unsuccessful. It is too old and set in its ways for us to attempt to tame it. If it were younger...perhaps it would be possible. But not now."
"I think this is too valuable an opportunity to pass up.... Not everyone gets the chance to have a Manticore at their will! plus, he/she is an animal, he/she has feelings too, evil or not!"
"I will give you one month to tame the thing, Ranger. After that, if it is still evil, I will kill it. If it attempts to harm anyone good during that time, I will kill it. And keep it away from me at all times."
