with the dawn of D&D version 4.0, all our books and sheets are outdated. but with the improvements made, we each only need a player's handbook, NOT a DM guide or monster manual. these can be obtained from borders or amazon. but along with the new ooks comes a changed (improved) character sheet. this can be downloaded from here. there are also new races, so you may want to consider making a new character and having Kai put them in.
K-Edit: Around the web are numerous sources for character sheets, some made to be used on your PC in games and some with movable and moddable setups. Wizards of the Coast also has their basic version online in PDF.
Also this post is not for DnD4 discussion, so put that elsewhere or wait for Caius's Introductory Rant at the next meet.
