I'd be happy to let a first timer go, I've only ever played Adnd before but Dmed many RPGS in the post d20 world. This would be a first level party (the only way to do it really) and lets do a seriously classic 3d6 roll but I'll give you freedom to choose what stat goes where. This was oddly how the game was designed, so a 7 or a 12 was not a bad score in 2nd edition, it was honestly viable and a 15 was like having a 20+ in 3rd edition. It will work trust me and for new comers you'll enjoy this old school stats once you start playing. My restrictions are simply being a Primer, in Planescape terms that means your character was accidentally teleported to Planescape and has no idea at all about the setting, and that's it. Any of the Races (as long as you meet the stat requirements) are fine and if you qualify for a class play it. I promise to put in an a whole lot of effort to make the game pop out you like it did to me when I got to play it, and you'll love the strangeness and what your character becomes because of the world more than you are used to in RPGS.
