CHAPTER 1

HowtoPlay

Imagine a world of bold warriors, mighty

wizards, and terrible monsters.

Imagine a world of ancient ruins, vast caverns, and

great wild wastes where only the bravest heroes dare

to tread.

Imagine a world of swords and magic, a world of

elves and goblins, a world of giants and dragons.

This is the world of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ®

Roleplaying Game (also referred to as D&D), the

pinnacle of fantasy roleplaying games. You take

on the role of a legendary hero—a skilled fighter, a

courageous cleric, a deadly rogue, or a spell-hurling

wizard. With some willing friends and a little

imagination, you strike out on daring missions and

epic quests, testing yourself against an array of

daunting challenges and bloodthirsty monsters.

Get ready—the Player’s Handbook contains

everything you need to create a heroic character of

your own! To start you on your first adventure, this

chapter discusses the following topics.

✦

A Roleplaying Game: How the D&D game is

different from any other game you’ve played.

✦

What’s in a D&D Game: The essential

ingredients of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game.

✦

How Do You Play?: A look at what happens

during the game, including a brief example of

activity at the game table.

✦

The Core Mechanic: The single fundamental rule

you need to know for most challenges you face in

the game.
