[QUOTE="axp_dave, post: 2636244, member: 2094"] Although everything you need is in the SRD website someone was kind enough to link to, just by the Player's Handbook. Its much easier to follow. I always recommend a fighter as class for a newbie as there is much less to learn to get you up and running with your character and in the game having fun. Spell casting for a Cleric, mage, or bard requires you to understand many more rules and know how each spell works in detail before you are effective (and I would argue having fun). If you play a fighter you can read less of the Player Handbook (don't have to read the spells). Hopefully the group you are going to play with will guide you and allow you some grace for making tactical mistakes. The game is a great time, the better you understand the rules the easier it is to play, but I've been playing 3.x since it came out (maybe 4 years ago) and still always learning something new so don't feel you need to memorize the book.
