Does anyone have PDF versions of the four character sheets available for download?

Thanks.

You are most likely correct in this assessment. I just refuse to be used as a punching bag, even if it is unintentional.

Any recommendations on the 1e books, other than the three core ones (PHB,DMG and MM) which I've already got?

Fiend Folio and MM2 are must haves. Also pick up a few of the old modules not necessarily to run, but definitely for inspiration.

Here is something that might come in handy as you get started moving from v3.5, Chris Rutkowsky's d20 3.5 to C&C Conversion Notes.

Since it seems there is no experience here with Fractal Mapper, I can axe it from the list.

I will have to take a good hard look at CC3 and Dundjinni.
