Alright, I'll take the pixie for a different build, much as I love my strengthmaxing.

In homage to Rolepgeek, I shall name my character Daethwin, as well.

The pixie has a +4 LA. That means that even if Remuthra doesn't take any character levels, you are letting a fourth level character into your first level game.
Are you aware of this?

Check the Hypertext entry for "elf". They show you the sort of thing you need.

I'm pretty sure you can play a gnoll, so that's cool.
Not sure what you're referring to.

If I can play a gnoll, can I play a troll? They rhyme.
Upon closer inspection, trolls are far too OP for this. Might I suggest a pixie, elf variant, or aasimar?
If trolls are too OP, does that mean I can't play as a Titan?  :P

No, you'll have to demote yourself to Giant.

I want to play Dnd as well but I don't have much experience with table top/ roleplaying games in general. But I'm still IN, I'm most probably going to spend tomorrow's afternoon on the sheet.

WAT

BY ARMOK!

OK then. Course of action: Each positive stat is reduced by four. Strength penalty is negated. Each level changes the fours from the subtraction to one lower and the addition to the Strength one lower. At level four it is almost exactly like the template. At six, the dance thing is learned.

Crisis averted.

As an alternative option, is a half-troll decent?

Well, I was writing a post asking about rules, but it got lost when I had to stop to freak out about Remuthra being OP.

Either way, LA is short for Level Advancement, which lets you balance powerful races. Typically, only tier 5 and 6 are allowed to ignore LA for the levels that you take them. So a Gnoll could start as a third level fighter, since they have two racial Hit Dice and one LA.
Also, a Pixie would only get the stat bonuses at level up if they take a tier 5/6 class, I assume?

Next, there is a rule from Races of the Wild that lets you play as a Half-Breed. Is it acceptable?

Since psionics are on the Hypertext, I feel comfortable taking one of those classes, specifically Psionic Warrior.
Edit: Actually, I think I'm going to go (I can't believe I am saying this) monk.

I'm a Halfling Ranger, so I'd be stoked if Remuthra was a giant dude that I could Voltron with.

I'm tempted to find the biggest race I can and then just apply Tawanchior's rules for pixies to it, with his permission of course.

Hmm, Tarrasque, Tendriculos, Tiefling... Ahha! Titan!

Can I be a Fae bard? Or is that restricted?

Do they make Fae-sized instruments? Unless you just sing.

Wait are bards considered spellcasters?
