Wow, thanks for all the responses.
I guess I can just get started, then. Just one more question - is there any post here that explains character creation in detail? I've looked at a few current games and character sheets, as well as the Living Enworld character thread, but it's a bit difficult to figure out. For example, it says in the thread that you have thirty points to spend on your base attributes - that, I can understand. But how do you choose skills and feats for your character? Are there a set amount, or do they come with your race/class (or both)? The same with equipment - do I get to choose a few items to start with, or do I get nothing?
Essentially, I have a basic idea for what I want my character to be like (backstory, weapon skills, etc.), but I'm not sure how to put it into the D&D format. I don't even know if some things are possible, like if throwing daggers is a skill I can get.
Anyways, if someone could show me where there's a explanation of character creation (I've looked through the hypertext d20
SRD already, but it only gives lists of skills, it doesn't really explain what you can choose), or offer any advice, I'd appreciate it. I'm looking forward to starting an adventure here.
