Hello. I'm new at D&D and I wanted to ask a question or two

[Samurai Jill]

I never played a tabletop game, and my only experience with the game is the pc game Neverwinter Nights.

I don't have anybody to play with around here and I heard that games took place on this forum.

Is there a tutorial on this forum I can use to learn how to play D&D?

You can pick up a good 90% of what you need to know as a player from the Online SRD.


Here is most of the remaining 10%.

Method 1 for character creation: Distribute 25 points between your 6 attributes, each of which starts at 8. Stats about 14 cost 2 points per stat point, above 16, 3 points per stat point. Otherwise, it's 1-to-1. No starting stat may exceed 18 except as a result of racial modifiers. Some DMs may allot more or fewer starting buy-points for this purpose.

Method 2 for character creation: Roll 4 6-sided dice and keep the best 3 results: this may be assigned to any stat of your choice. Repeat 7 times, discard the worst result, and assign remainder to your 6 stats as desired.

It typically costs your level x1000 XP to advance to the next level.

-There. Consult with your GM for the rest.
