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).

I see. Well actually, Hyperion has 1,080 gp now. I decided to make him sell his Masterwork Cold Iron Longsword now that he has his Holy Avenger, which is about a billion times better. Oh, and now that you've decided against buying, I can tell you that the merchant was trying to overcharge you by something like 500 gp. The barebones cost for the item itself is 4,000 gp, throw in an extra 200 for retail price, and joo was gonna overpay pretty big. Of course, a successful Diplomacy check would have significantly lowered that price, but meh.
Hyper, what about ourloot? I know we have 2 heavy maces and something else.
You are lugging around 3 magical weapons worth approximately 3,000-4,000 each. Sell one of those like I told you to before, you don't need them all. You shouldn't need to be dipping into party loot to pay for anything.
Oh, go check up on the Manticore and try flying it around.
The manticore needs food. Now that the manticore has been tamed, it is easily rideable by someone with the Ride skill like Neri. But I do not advise that you go riding a manticore around in a heavily populated area like Waterdeep. It will probably attract attention, and being evil, it will probably be killed if spotted by a guard.
Psst...guys, if I were you, I would let Hyperion do most of the buying and selling. You could just tell him what you wanted and then let him deal with the merchants and stuff. He's got a higher Charisma and a way better diplomacy bonus, so people will probably sell cheaper to him than they will to you two, and they'll probably buy at a higher price too.
Manticore and Winifred (yes, the cow) become bestest friends. Manticore got hungry a few minutes later and noms Winifred to the bone. Thus, the friendship was over T_T

The manticore gobbles up the cow in a couple bites. Forget the cows and stuff, it's 5 copper pieces a day for a horse's feed. I'll make it 10 cp a day for manticore feed. That means that for what you just spent on one meal(a cow, 20 gp) you could have bought nine or ten months of regular food for the manticore. Ha.
