Introduction

The game assumes the use of miniatures and a battle grid, and the

rules are written from this perspective.

® Roleplaying Game, the game

that defines the genre and has set the standard for fantasy role-

playing for more than 30 years.

D&D® is a game of your imagination in which you participate in

thrilling adventures and dangerous quests by taking on the role of a

hero—a character you create. Your character might be a strong

fighter or a clever rogue, a devout cleric or a powerful wizard. With a

few trusted allies at your side, you explore ruins and monster-filled

dungeons in search of treasure. The game offers endless possibilities

and a multitude of choices—more choices than even the most

sophisticated computer game, because you can do whatever you can

imagine.

CHARACTERS

Your characters star in the adventures you play, just like the heroes

of a book or movie. As a player, you create a character using the rules

in this book. Your character might be a savage barbarian from the

frozen wastes or a clever rogue with a quick wit and a quicker blade.

You might be a deadly archer trained in survival techniques or a

wizard who has mastered the arcane arts. As your character

participates in adventures, he or she gains experience and becomes

more powerful.

ADVENTURES

Your character is an adventurer, a hero who sets out on epic quests

for fortune and glory. Other characters join your adventuring party

to explore dungeons and battle monsters such as the terrible dragon

or the carnivorous troll. These quests unfold as stories created by the

actions your characters perform and the situations your DM

presents.

A Dungeons & Dragons adventure features plenty of action,

exciting combat, terrifying monsters, epic challenges, and all kinds

of mysteries to uncover. What lies at the heart of the dungeons?

What waits around the next corner or behind the next door? Playing

the roles of your characters, you and your friends face the dangers

and explore a world of medieval fantasy.

One adventure might play out in a single game session; another

might stretch across several sessions of play. A session lasts as long

as you and your friends want to play, from a couple of hours to an all-

day affair. The game can be stopped at any time and picked up

wherever you left off when everyone gets back together.

Every adventure is different, every quest unique. Your character

might explore ancient ruins guarded by devious traps or loot the

tomb of a long-forgotten wizard. You might sneak into a castle to spy

on an enemy or face the life-draining touch of an undead creature.

Anything is possible in a

THE D&D GAME

The D&D game is a fantasy game of your imagination. It’s part

acting, part storytelling, part social interaction, part war game, and

part dice rolling. You and your friends create characters that develop

and grow with each adventure they complete. One player is the

Dungeon Master (DM). The DM controls the monsters and ene-

mies, narrates the action, referees the game, and sets up the adven-

tures. Together, the Dungeon Master and the players make the game

come alive.

This Player’s Handbook has all the rules players need to create

characters, select equipment, and engage in combat with a variety of

supernatural and mythical foes.

The Dungeon Master’s Guide , available separately, provides the DM

with advice, guidelines, and everything he or she needs to create

challenges, adventures, and full-fledged D&D campaigns, including

sections on prestige classes, magic items, and character rewards.

The Monster Manual , available separately, contains material that

players and DMs alike will find useful. With hundreds of monsters

to populate all levels of dungeons, this tome also includes monster

creation rules, information on playing monsters as characters,

details on monster tactics, and powered-up versions of standard

creatures.

Together, these three volumes comprise the core rules for the

Dungeons

Dragons

game, and your

character can try to do anything you can imagine.

THREE DIMENSIONS

PLAYING THE GAME

game is a game of imagination, but it

is also a game of tactics and strategy. Miniatures and a battle grid

provide the best way to visualize the action. Miniatures, represent-

ing characters and monsters in the game, can be purchased from

most hobby shops. The Dungeon Master’s Guide includes a paper

battle grid. More durable versions may be purchased separately.

Dungeons

Dragons

uses a core mechanic to resolve all actions

in the game. This central game rule keeps play fast and intuitive.

The Core Mechanic: Whenever you attempt an action that has

some chance of failure, you roll a twenty-sided die (d20). To deter-

mine if your character succeeds at a task (such as attacking a mon-

ster or using a skill), you do this:

Dragons

game debuted in 2000. In the three

years since the d20 Open System energies the RPG industry, we’ve

gathered tons of data on how the game is being played. We consider

D&D to be a living game that constantly evolves as it is played.

We’ve gathered feedback from as many people who have played D&D

as we could. We’ve talked to you at conventions, examined countless

message boards devoted to the game, and collected information from a

variety of customer-response outlets including our customer service

department. We used all this data to retool the game from the ground up

and incorporate everyone’s suggestions. We listened to what you had to

say, and we responded enthusiastically to improve the game and this

product.

If this is your first experience with D&D, we welcome you to a wonder-

ful world of adventure and imagination. If you used the prior version of

Dungeons

Dragons

this book, rest assured that this revision is a testament to our dedication

to continuous product improvement. We’ve updated errata, clarified

rules, and made the game even better than it was. But also rest assured

that this is an upgrade of the d20 System, not a new edition of the game.

This revision is compatible with all existing products, and those products

can be used with the revision with only minor adjustments.

What’s new in the revised Player’s Handbook ? We’ve increased the

number of feats and spells to choose from, and we’ve added new class

features to the barbarian, bard, druid, monk, ranger, and sorcerer. The

entire book has been polished and refined, all in response to your feed-

back and to reflect the way the game is actually being played. We’ve

streamlined some rules, expanded others. We’ve overhauled skills and

spells.

Take a look, play the game. We think you’ll like how everything turned

out.
