God dang this thing....
Okay, so my character's up, after not being able to post forever.
Anywho, a quick request...
Can we use a few 3.5 elements perhaps? For my character, i'm considering the Intimidate as a class skill, the Greater versions of weapon focus and specialization, and maybe (though this one I don't really care about, but I'd like to know about), the 3.5 power attack (maybe modified a bit - toned down rather, as I see a merger of 3.0 and 3.5 power attack as the optimal construction for everyone)?

A preliminary character is up in the Rogues' Gallery thread. I decided to go with a gnome bard.
A few notes:
First, I didn't check the point-buy yet. These stats are actually ones I rolled up. (I usually do point-buy like that: roll and then adjust to fit the points.) I would appreciate if someone would check them for me. If not, no biggie, I'll get to it later this week.
Second, there's a few details to be worked out (obviously), and I'm not too strong on some of the stuff (and neither is the book), so if anything looks wrong, please let me know.
Third, I used the 3.5 PHB and the 3.0 character sheet. If anything is not compatible, let me know, and I'll change it. I do have the 3.0 PHB; it just wasn't with me when I made the character.
Lastly, if you'd like some of this stuff organized/presented differently, silentspace, let me know. I'm happy to add or get rid of whatever you'd like.

Okay, how to describe point buy.... I have it memorized, but I can't think of how to say it....
Okay, you get so many points to spend on stats, in this case 32. You start with a score of 8 in every stat, and then purchase each additional point added.
An increase of one number (8 to 9) costs 1 point each until the score reaches 14. To increase it past 14 it costs 2 points (so 2 more for 15, and 2 more for 16), and then past a 16 costs 3 points for each increase (so increasing a 16 to a 17 costs 3 more points, and a 17 to an 18 costs another 3).
A little more complex than it is, but it's how I think about it.
So for example, to get a 12, you pay 4 points (you have to increase by four from the base of 8, and below 14 costs 1 point per increase). To get a 15 you pay 8 (6 to get to 14, and then 2 more for the next increase). To get an 18 costs exactly 16 points - half of the starting total. Obviously, it really costs you a lot if you want to uber-specialize in a single stat.
Hope that helps (and isn't too complicated)

Glad to be of service *bows*, but don't expect such help to come free from my character in-game... that self-centered bastard.

Actually, I'm not new, but I'm deffinately not an old guy on the boards... I hardly post. It's just that I can't seem to get my old account to work now that I'm at school. Couldn't miss a chance to join a PbP, so I made a new profile real quick. Like this one more anyways... it wouldn't let me change the name of my last one...

Alright, I posted my character in the rogue gallery. I choose to go back to my original concept of an halfling cleric of Fharlanghn since the concept I had in mind for my barbarian didn't fit well with having an orc in the party and, like Thels said, we're a big group and there is never to many cleric (at least in my view).
Silentspace : I took a few liberties in my writeup : I gave my character a precise initial goal and changed a little bit the PHB starting package for cleric. I replaced the scale mail, the short sword (or mace) and the shield by a studded leather, a club, an a pony (the price for this is about the same ...). Let me know if you don't like the changes or if some elements of the background don't fit well with your campaign.
Pss... Seonaid, since we're playing 3.0, your light crossbow should do 1d8 of damage (and your small longsword should be a short sword). I know this since my character is small too !

A way that's perhaps easier for some people to look at pointbuy system. With 32 points, buy 6 of the following scores and divide them as you wish:
8 - 0 points
9 - 1 point
10 - 2 points
11 - 3 points
12 - 4 points
13 - 5 points
14 - 6 points
15 - 8 points
16 - 10 points
17 - 13 points
18 - 16 points
8 - 0 points
9 - 1 point
10 - 2 points
11 - 3 points
12 - 4 points
13 - 5 points
14 - 6 points
15 - 8 points
16 - 10 points
17 - 13 points
18 - 16 points
