Hello! I'm being recruited into playing 3.5e for the first time... I've only really played 5e a couple of times, and dabbled in another system called Troika!, I was wondering if there were any easy resources I could look into to make my own character to show my DM before we begin to play... I've looked at a couple but they've been a bit confusing. Any resources you all would recommend?
