How to play D&D

D&D

​Backgrounds

Backgrounds allow your character to have different interactions with npc's, so for example a criminal will have a different reaction to a guard than a noble would. A background is different to a backstory because a background influences your stats, and a backstory will influence how you act in different situations.

​​ How does the battle system work in D&D

The battle system in D&D is not as complicated as it seems, all you have to do is roll a dice for what you want to do, for example if you want to hide behind a bush, you would have to do a stealth check. if you want to attack then you have to roll a D20, and if you get higher than the enemy's armor class (AC), then you can roll to attack with another dice.

There are 26 different classes in D&D, all of them have separate abilities and mechanics for example, the fighter is hand to hand, but the wizard is a magic based class.

​Species

There are 126 species, in which they all have their own abilities and score changes, for example a tiefling has +2 inteligence and + 1 dexterity, so they would be a good magic class, however the mountain dwarfs have an ability score increase of +2 strength so they would be a good melee class

​An example of the battle system

​ Let's say that you are fighting a bandit, you have to roll a D20 to beat it's armor class (AC), then if you roll higher than the AC, then you have to roll a D12, witch is one more than the HP (Health points) of this creature and then that is how much damage you deal.
