Character creation specifics

The most basic rule of character creation: I don't have all books committed to memory, so when I say everything official is allowed, you still need to run your particulars by me first :)

32 point buy. Nothing homebrew or third-party allowed. I won't be using Magic of Incarnum, Unearthed Arcana, Dragon Magazine, or psionics. Content from Forgotten Realms or Eberron will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and only if it can be used out of the context of its source.

Races
-Anything with +0 LA is allowed, but note that all races not in the PHB or MM1 are considered exotic, and in many cases race-specific equipment will be hard to come by. Most creatures in the MM1 are also considered hostile. (Creatures in other monster manuals are likely to be both rare and hostile.)
-Anything with +1 LA is also allowed, if you have your heart set on it. You'll just start with 0 XP and grow into it. Please don't do this just for the free stats early on.
-If you're dying to play something with a higher LA, we can talk about it. But you'd better be actually dying.

Classes, Feats, Skills
-Anything official is fine, but like I said in the main game rules, munchkinism will wound me on a personal level.

Spells
-Everything outside the PHB is exotic, and can't be started with at character creation or picked up during leveling, except by spell research (either the hard way or with scrolls).

Religion
-Greyhawk deities, following an alignment, and atheism are all fine. Rarity applies to religions in the same way as race, so if you join one outside the PHB, it will probably be viewed as a fringe group or a cult.

Addendum: These rules aren't set in stone, and for that matter neither are the actual game rules if the situation calls for it. If your character concept really calls for a spell or feat or whatever that you want (for flavor, not powergaming!) but can't quite get, go ahead and PM me. I'll do my best to accommodate you.

Addendum 2: Max HP and max gold for your class at level 1. HP after that is rolled, with 1s rerolled. If you're starting above level 1, you receive the standard gold for that level.
