[QUOTE="Aria Silverhands, post: 4214709, member: 66086"] I remember my first session. Drow ranger/mage with long sword and short sword. I was a leatherworker/woodsman (NWP) and had the two-weapon fighting proficiencies. The only thing I didn't have... was the ability to speak the common tongue. The first session was rather interesting for me as a brand new player. The rest of the party were traveling alongside the woods I prowled towards a haunted house I tried to keep wanderers away from. A pair of orcs attack the party and two more prepared to ambush them from behind. I killed those two orcs while the party dealt with the other two. I started to approach the party and then they turned around to see the drow with dripping blades casting a spell. "We attack the drow!" My mouth dropped open and I looked at the DM. No one had warned me about anything from the setting. I had chosen the race based on a picture and the DM was less than helpful. I started screaming in character and running the other way. Fortunately an astute player noticed the blood was the black blood of orcs and then the party tripped over the two orcs and tried to get me to stop running. They gave up the chase and went back towards the haunted house and I waited outside in hiding. Fortunately the house adventure was short and the DM added some orcs coming to find out what happened to their hunting party. The orcs found me. I was in a pitched battle and fighting to escape when the rest of the group finally heard the battle and came out to investigate. The mage in the group used comprehend languages to understand me, but it didn't help me understand them. It kept them from killing me at least. The session ended and then I didn't get to play D&D again for almost a year. It was a [i]great[/i] start to playing D&D, heh. [/QUOTE]
