Right, if you tell us what your race/class is, we can be a little more concise with assistance and give you some suggestions to boot.

Dwarven Fighter. I needed something easy and the group needed more beards (at least that's what I read as reasoning).
Basically this is what I've done so far (in HTML, throw it in a .txt document and preview it). It's much cleaner than anything I could set up myself. I got stuck on the ability thing but have picked everything before that step, so basically I have all the personal character details, base stats, my class, feats from class and base stats, edited my inventory to fit my starter pack (do we get one with the start we were going to have?) though I have yet to implement the effects of said starting pack afaik. This as far as I got if my memory serves me well, but it's much easier to see how much I managed to get done in the html export.

Those are some terrible stats, Leo... We'll need to roll some up for you sometime.
On that note, I'm probably gonna hafta cancel for tonight. I gotta take care of my kids and wife and stuff and I haven't had much time to do any campaign stuff. Sorry guys...

It weren't some great rolls I managed, no. RNG was never on my side. : (
After looking at this, I've realized I am spoiled by 4e. This seems really complicated again. >_<

4ed is extremely simple and if I had known I was going to have to teach some newbies the game, I woulda done that instead.
Nothing against Leo or Vad. Just remarking on the ease of 4th edition.

Yeah. I taught some friends to play dnd, so I chose 4e. I've bought a lot of the shit (we use both the core and essential 4e), and it's fun. I know it's not as rp driven, but we still have fun with it.
Just killed a frost Titan last night, actually. We were doing shots whenever we got bloodied. They forgot that I'm a blood mage, so I can just bloody myself pretty quickly. XD.
I do miss 3.5 at times, though. It used to be because 3.5 had so much damn content, but 4e has really caught up in that department. I guess it's most likely from nostalga.

I really cannot see the benefit to 3.5 anymore.
I've spent entire sessions in 4e just fucking around or pushing my friends down the stairs or whatever.
3.5 has more... unique details(?) I guess, but you can usually work those into 4 anyway if your dm isn't a douche.

Yeah, when I dmed thats what I did. I'll work in a lot of custom rules if they make sense and people want them.
Having said that, with vanilla rules, 3.5 definetly let's you customize more.

I have more experience with 3.5 so that's what I wanted to run. It allows for some crazy strong characters too. That said, I do miss the simplicity of 4ed. If i'd played it more, I probably would have done that.
Also, as I'm not at home this week, I'm going to have to cancel the Saturday session again. I'm sorry guys.
I honestly wish I had the time to play this with you guys. It would be a lot of fun to play again with you.
Even if it would bring back memories of a op as fuck orc barbarian named Whompt..

Oh come on! Jumping from the second story to attack a mud golem, only to miss? Classic.
XD. I just remember the ooc tournament where Kiro and I didn't want to fight, because our characters were in love. The winner got to fight Whompt. I think it was me.
I was oneshot.

I remember that. Though, if I recall, it took a few swings to get that 1 shot.
