W elcome to Neverwinter Nights ™

Neverwinter Nights is an epic roleplaying game that uses the 3rd

Edition Dungeons & Dragons ® rules and is set in the Forgotten

Realms ® . If you are new to D&D or the Realms, I wish to wel-

come you to this exciting world of terrible beasts, awe-inspiring

magic and heroic adventure. If you are an experienced player, I

welcome you to the best computer adaptation of the D&D rules

ever created.

Intr

s Included in this Manual

T his manual is divided into four main sections. The first section

What’ s Included in this Manual

What’

covers everything you need to know to play Neverwinter Nights .

It explains how to create characters, how to move around and

explore the world, and how to adventure online with other player

characters.

The second section, Places and People, describes the vibrant

world of Faerûn , also called the Forgotten Realms . It describes areas

from the civilized city of Neverwinter to the wild and untamed

mountains of the Spine of the World. This background informa-

tion is not essential to playing Neverwinter Nights, but may help you

understand the world of the Forgotten Realms .

Neverwinter Nights is the culmination of nearly five years of hard

work by a large, skilled, and dedicated team. During development

the team varied in size from a single person to over 65 full-time

members. As a company, BioWare has delivered several games of

massive scope, such as Baldur’s Gate ™ and Baldur’s Gate II . With

Neverwinter Nights we have gone further than ever before, supply-

ing you, the game player, with the tools to realize your own game

designs. See the exciting world of game development from our

side, and work with the tools we used to create the official cam-

paign.

The third section, Player’s Handbook, describes the Dungeons &

Dragons rules as they are used in Neverwinter Nights . The informa-

tion in this section is designed to help you understand the rules

behind the game, and to maximize your character’s interaction

with the world during the course of adventuring.

The final section, Building your Own Adventures, describes the

Neverwinter Nights Toolset and the Dungeon Master client that are

both included with Neverwinter Nights . The Neverwinter Nights

Toolset is the same application BioWare used to create the official

campaign for Neverwinter Nights . The Dungeon Master client can

be used to DM your own multiplayer games with complete con-

trol over the way the game is set up and run.

So, in summary: Play, explore, and create. Play and enjoy the

game we have created for you, explore the tools, and create your

own worlds of adventure. Finally, you can venture forth on the

Internet to explore the worlds other individuals like yourself have

created.

Happy adventuring,

The Game

The Story So Far

Quickstart

hive of panic and terror. Thousands have died from a myste-

rious plague called the Wailing Death, and thousands more are

infected. With the risk of an epidemic spreading across the face of

Faerûn , the Lords of Neverwinter declared a quarantine and shut

the gates to all travel, trapping sick and healthy alike inside the

city walls.

How to Install and Start Playing

How to Install and Start Playing

1 into your CD-ROM drive and follow the on-screen prompts

to install the game. If the AutoPlay screen does not automatically

Lady Aribeth de Tylmarande has issued a call to all adventurers

within the city, asking them to keep order and help her find a

cure. Promises of honor and riches have drawn many to Aribeth’s

side, but all for naught. The plague spreads with every passing

day, and sweeps through the poorer quarters of the city like a

flash fire. Many would-be heroes have fallen, and no cure is in

sight.
