Well the most basic thing is finding a copy of the Player's Handbook 1 and using that and following the instructions in there.

It's pretty hard to make a character without the books, because you can barely find information about powers/classes/what not online.

Finding the books is easy though. The invention of PDF made it pretty easy to get them.

D&D Insider also has a character maker that makes it really easy, but you have to pay for D&D Insider.

Take that class test I posted in the HS topic.

Base your character on that.

Also check your PMs.

This is also something I sort of need help with. I can't find the player's handbook 1 anywhere where I live. We've been playing Pathfinder and I wanted to migrate to DnD.

Mind if I ask why? They are literally compatible with one another and Pathfinder is a better game overall. IT's not perfect, but 3.5 is an unbalanced mess and 4e makes all the classes super bland (unless several more books have changed this, but if you're just using the base books it'll seriously feel all the same).

Anyone that wants to play Pathfinder, this website is licensed by the creators and has basically everything for free that's been out for more than a month or so IIRC.

Gerbil hates fun, don't listen to him. 4e is way better than 3.5

I remember taking that when it was posted like a month ago.

I think I was the Priest of Blood

EDIT: Searching through old logs I am in fact the Priest of Rage.

Didn't you know? There's a 4e-based Homestuck RPG game! I've got my own system I use for Twostuck, but am also remaking the 4e one so all classes and aspects are good. It's fun stuff! :D

Oh, that MSPA RPG actually kept going? I thought it had died a long time ago.

I can link you to the current Homestuck RPG rules right now if you want. This is pre-update of course.

Really? I mean, you'd have to be unbelievably incompetent to have that happen. But if complete idiocy is what floats your boat...
