Awwww... I'm getting warmandfuzzy feeling! GROUP HUG! (I know, that's Melusine's job, but she's not here right now!

)
Sorry I wasn't around earlier but I was up pretty late and slept in today.
I'm trying to generate a character for a free form D&D campaign, 3rd ed . I've never played anything but computer rpg's (BG1, BG2 and IWD) so I'm not even sure what the heck I'm doing but the dm says I'll be ok...soooooooooo any ideas? We can be 4th level and I've been advised to avoid straight mage as it might be difficult for me to manage first time out. I'm quite used to bards (and to a lesser extent, Clerics) in my crpgs so was thinking of doing that. Would multiclass but I wonder if THAT is too much for a first campaign? Any suggestions? Advice?
Ahhh.. I just love the sun coming in the windows and all my friends hanging out here... lovely, lovely day!
