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).

Tut tut, I'm the DM, I make the roll! You should know that. But this really doesn't matter, so female it is.
that's like me treating you as a slaver right now, regardless of anything you've done since then!"
Yowch.
"But it is still evil! It may be tame, but manticores are too intelligent to remain as such for long. Mark my words, one day it will swallow one of us in our sleep." Hyperion looks shaken, but not really about his argument.
"We haven't had the chance to use it yet! If we took it into the desert, all we'd have left is a saddle and plenty of rotting meat. I swear it will be effective the next time 'tis available."
"We need gold, don't we? I bet we could sell the thing for a good price. How about we see how much people are willing to pay for it first?" Hyperion searches around in a crowd for a while, then finds a rich person who likes exotic pets. He offers 8,000 gp for the manticore.
"We each have at LEAST 12,000 gp right now, do you know how much that is?! I refuse to sell her for money we honestly don't need right now!" Anger is highly detectable in the tone.
"It is not a 'her'," Hyperion says, sounding shocked. "It's a thing, that's the flaw in your thinking. And it would kill you given the chance. Bah, just let us be rid of the thing. Let's take a vote. Majority rules. Can you agree to that?"
