New player character creation questions

[Thoradus Copperware]

I have some friends going next weekend, so I thought I would check things out.

Anyways under the description of the barbarian it says they almost never wear metal armor, I wasn't sure if that meant I could or could not have any metal armor. I only have a week and I'm trying to come up with costuming.

I going to play either a dwarven barbarian or fighter. If I can't wear metal armor as a barbarian, then I'll be a fighter.

Also is there anyway to start with a little extra build? I get 25 to start but I guess since the next game is so soon I can't get the bonus points for a history. I could always donate stuff if that's a possibility.

Last how often are resets in this game? If I have a few uses of a skill, will it be uses for the day, weekend, or some other amount of time?

Thanks for your help ~James

Barbarians can wear any armor. You can take the 25 SP bonus for the history if you are going to be sending one in; we love donations as well. Reset is at 6pm on Saturday

Thank you for your help, I will see what I can do in terms of donations.

Are starting characters allowed only the free spells that come with their class or can a starting character also spend skill points to start with more?

If a character learns the buckler skill, and then later purchase the shield skill, would s/he be refunded the points spent on buckler?

You need a learning scroll and have learn spell/prayer so you would need more then just skill points.

Jeff, if you buy the buckler skill then by the shield skill, no you do not get refunded the points spent. However I believe shield does not have a pre req for it (dont quote me I need to double check) so I would just spend the points on that.
