This might not be the best time to play that mounted character you've been eyeing.)-While not absolutely essential, a rogue and a cleric would be a great help.As for character creation, here's what I'm thinking.  Any comments/suggestions?-We're playing 3.0.  Is WLD done for 3.0 or 3.5?-PHB races and classes.  -Perhaps- AU race and classes, but they'd need alignments, and I'm still doubtful I'd allow all of them-32 point-buy-Max starting GPs, strongly suggested to spend all your starting cash.</blockquote>
