Consider me signed Up.

I'll play a fighter LN, human, from the town of Lonelywood (a loging town on the Sea Of Moving Ice.) Which ruleset are we using? What are the house rules? How do we do dice rolls, or is this EARP? How many fingers am I holding up?

I'm a veteren of old-schol D&D. As in, I played D&D in highscool, and I'm 36. And then we moved on to AD&D, and then AD&D 2nd Ed.
I moved on to the Cyberpunk genere and Gamemastered for Shadowrun (SR2) and GURPS, but the group broke up after about two years.

And then I got a PC and played Bauders Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate: Throne of Bhall, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter, Plantetscape: Torment, Never Winter Nights (The original NWN campain, Shadows of Undertide, Hordes of the Underdark, The Wanderer I and The Wanderer II).

PS I have a full suite of dice. Not that I need them, I imagine.

I think we only really need the Core stuff.

And Sarge: I imagine he'll be using a website that has random number generators for the dice rolls. I've seen them before.

I don't object to staring at LVL 1, but only if we can get more than 4 players. We want to be able to kill the baddies without the magic-user (Sorcerer, wizzard, etc.) getting his head handed to him, oK.

If a torch is used in combat, treat it as a one-handed improvised weapon that deals bludgeoning damage equal to that of a gauntlet of its size, plus 1 point of fire damage.
Oil

A pint of oil burns for 6 hours in a lantern. You can use a flask of oil as a splash weapon. Use the rules for alchemist’s fire, except that it takes a full round action to prepare a flask with a fuse. Once it is thrown, there is a 50% chance of the flask igniting successfully.
Acid
You can throw a flask of acid as a splash weapon. Treat this attack as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet. A direct hit deals 1d6 points of acid damage. Every creature within 5 feet of the point where the acid hits takes 1 point of acid damage from the splash.

#Monk’s Outfit

This simple outfit includes sandals, loose breeches, and a loose shirt, and is all bound together with sashes. The outfit is designed to give you maximum mobility, and it’s made of high-quality fabric. You can hide small weapons in pockets hidden in the folds, and the sashes are strong enough to serve as short ropes.

The rest is all complicated. I think I'll wait for another person to post. Then finish this. My dad's shouting me anyway.


Ok, a few problems with that. Staring XP should be Zero: Only the DM can hand out XP, and if you're level one you don't have any from previous levels.
Monks can't wear armor without taking some serious penalties too their otherwsie kick-butt abilities, but if not wearing armor get a natural armor bonus just for being a monk. Also, they are the best unarmed fighter in D&D, bar none. A Level-1 monk is a little less powerfull then a Level-1 fighter, but once he levels up he can get some really cool skills, powers, and feats that other character classes can't get. If you want, I can roll it up for you in the NWN toolset. Just tell me what you want your ability scores to be and I'll fill in the rest (except INIT and SPEED... NWN doesn't use those two). For a Monk, high DEX and high WIS are important, but STR and CON shouldn't be neglected too much. Also, your INT needs to be at least average or you won't get much of a bonus to your skill advancement.

OPTIONAL SKILLS:
Concentration: D20+2 (Used for resisting the effect of the Taunt feat.)
Shot, Disarm, Knockdown, etc.)
Intimidate: D20+1 (to make a bully back down or to bully others)
Lore: D20+2 (Used to identify the properties of a given magic item. Magic item must be in character's possestion first. Rouges are able to identify anything, but they need the Use Magic Device to identify magic wands, rings, staffs, scolls, etc.
Craft Trap: Allows the theif to make a trap kit to be used with the Set Trap skill. The trap to be created has a Difculty Class (DC) equall to the Die used to deal it's dammage, plus any dammage modifiers. Traps that deal more than one kind of dammage have a DC of the two Die numbers added together, plus the total dammage modifiers. To try and create a trap, a skill check is perfomed against the DC of the trap to be created. Upon failure, there is only a 10% chance than the compnents are lost; otherwise the rouge may try again with the same components.
The rouge needs materials worth an ammount of gold equal to (1+T)M where T is the number of dammage types the trap can deal, and M is the maximum dammage the trap could possibly deal. So, a trap that deals 1D6+2 points of slashing dammage costs (1+1)8=16 gold to get the materials to build it. Materials can be purchaced from a theives guild, or they can be canablized from previously disarmed traps. If canabailising, the rouge needs to scrounge 1D6 traps for every 2 points of dammage his crafted trap could maximaly deal, or 1D8 for a trap with two dammage types, or 1D10 for a trap with three damage types. Traps with more than three dammage types require the Master Craftstman feat.
Set Trap: 7 Allows the rouge to place and set a Trap Kit. When the trap kit is used, make a skill check against the DC of the kit being used. Five or more ranks in Disable Traps gives a +2 bonus to the Set Traps skill. If a skill check fails by 10 or more while setting a trap, it is a Spectacular Failure: The trap goes off and a reflex throw is required to avoid being caught in your own trap. If the saving throw is successfull, the trap may be retrived by using the Disarm trap skill and then the Craft trap skill to re-set the trap kit. (no penalties apply to these check if you made the saving throw.) If you fail the saving throw, the trap deals it's full dammage to you and is detroyed in the process. It is salvageable for parts, but it is beyond repair and cannot be used again.
Pick Pocket: Allows the rouge to steal from another character or NPC (called a "The Mark") without the knowledge of the target character. Some creatures are immune to pick-pocketing at the GM's discretion.
There are two parts to a PickPoket skill test:
(1) Geting the item: Make a skill test against a base target or 10 for friendly characters, 20 for tolerent, unaware, blinded or socialy unmotivated characters, 30 for potentialy hostile characters, and 40 for pickpoketing in the midst of combat. Apply a penalty to the roll of the total of the armor check penalties of both the pickpocketer and "The Mark". If successfull, the desired item has been aquired.
(2)Getting away clean: "The Mark" then makes a Spot check against the rouge's Pick Pocket check. Blinded creatures get a -10 penalty to this spot check, while actively hostile creatures get a +10 bonus to this spot check. If "The Mark" is sucessfull in this check, then the pickpocketer has been noticed and will turn hostile if he wasn't already. If "The Mark" fails his skill check, the pickpocketing was not noticed.
Tumble: Any time an enemy gets an Attack of Opportunity against the rouge, the rouge may attempt a Tumble check against a DC of 15 (armor check penalties apply). If successfull, the Attack of Opportunity has been avoided. A tumble check cannot be performed the same turn that the rouge has performed a Set Trap, Disarm Trap or Craft Trap action. If attempting to Tumble while also Moveing Silently and/or Hiding In Shadows, the rouge must roll against a base DC of 20 instead of 15. For every five ranks in this skill (not incuding Dex bonus) the rouge's AC is improved by 1.
Use Magic Device: A succesfull USE MAGIC Device check allows the rouge to use an item as if he had the required skill, class, race, alignment, etc. Make a DC against a target number modified by the value of the device: The more valuable the device, the harder it is to use. If you fail the skill test you just can't use the device. You can try again when you have improved this skill.

And how do you calculate starting gold? I've forgotten.

Post subject: 
I use the NWN 1.66 character creator with the basic modual to create the character. Starting money is technicly up to the GM to decide. Here's how I used to GM it:
Code:
You can afford your prefered melee weapon, your prefered ranged weapon (if applicable) and 1 some ammo (Arrow, bolts, etc). Rouges, Fighters, Barbarians, Rangers and Clerics & Palidans can start with no better than Base AC 4 armor,  (Studded leather, Chain Shirt, etc.). Sorcerers, Wizzards, and Druids can choose to start with armor (AC 4) also, but they can also choose a basic robe (Traveler's Robe, Acloyte's Robe, not much else. Monks should start with no armor, but they too can choose to start with up to AC 4 armor (but that's a really, really bad idea for a Monk). Now throw in some practical adventuring items, (lengths of rope, torches, tents, warm clothing, boots, belts, backpacks, cloakcs, capes, robes, fancy dress clothes, belt pouches, personal hygene items, etc.)but no more than eight items: You're an adventurer, not a pack mule. Thes items are intended to add some spice to the roleplaying and the character interaction. the onlky ones that actualy have rulebook-outlined effects are the torches and the backpacks. Backpacks are covered under an obscure optional rule that hardly anyone uses, so I just say that they're a conveinient way to explain how you can carry all of the loot back to town. Torches are qute usefull if you're not blessed with infravison: Darkness is not a dungeon crawler's friend.
Once you have your basic weapons and armor, roll 2D12(roll die 12 twice, add it up) + 1d2 (flip a coin) and that's your starting gold. If you're a Palidan roll 2D20 instead (Palidans get starting monetary support from their Faction. If you're a Monk, you may want to forgo money if that fits with your character's background, but it's up to you. Rouges start off dirt-poor becasue they are on the bottom rung of the social ladder. Rouges get 1D6 -2. If that leaves them with a zero or a negitive number, they they start with 0 gold. Such is the life of the unskilled rouge. I highly recomend that the apropriately skilled Rouge go do some pickpocketing ASAP: Not only is it potentialy lucrative passtime, it can earn you XP, too.

So, those were my hose rules way back when I GM'd. I have no idea how our GM here wants to play it.

okay, you guys are wondering how to roll for initiative?
simple: Roll a D20, and thats it for ever, until your next Level up.

ohh, and the schools of magic are as follows:
    Illusion
    alteration
    Greater Divination
    Invocation/Evocation
    Necromancy
    Enchantment/Charm
    Conjuration/Summoning
    Abjuration

Note: just because its called a School, it doesnt mean its an organized place where you go to study, the word "School" identifies a Magical Dicipline.

ohh, and as for starting money, heres this:

    CHARACTER GROUP DIE RANGE
    Warrior 5d4 X 10GP
    Wizzard (1d4+1) X 10GP
    Rouge 2d6 X 10GP
