DnD Characters

I set off to find something I could use to run D&D for my nephews. Somehow, looking for character sheets I found that someone had scanned his old character sheets, and someone else had helpfully written character sheets for the democratic presidential candidates (obviously dated, but funny).

I did find this elaborate but apparently sound Javascript character sheet generator, except it doesn’t let you pick spells. For spells, feats and monsters, the The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) is the place to go. A totally awesome site.
Except, if you want to give out XP, you need the actual rulebooks, because that’s the one missing component they left out of “open gaming license” D&D.
