In
the real world, sometimes you feel powerless—but not in Dungeons &
Dragons (D & D). In this fantasy-adventure, you have all kinds of
special powers. You can slay the evil dragon, overcome the orc or the
ogre, haunt the werewolf, and triumph over sinister trolls. You venture
into strange realms, encounter strange creatures, and use magical
powers. Your character grows and develops with every adventure.

With this guide, you can learn the ins and outs of D & D and start playing right away. Dungeons & Dragons For Dummies
gives beginners the basics of the complex game and helps experienced
players fine-tune their roleplaying. It guides you through:

• Creating
  your character (a powerful fighter, a sneaky rogue, a crafty sorcerer,
  or a charismatic cleric), and character advancement
• The races: humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings
• The types of character actions: attack rolls, skill check, and ability checks
• The 6 abilities: strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, charisma
• Feat requirements and types
• Playing the game, including moving in combat, attacking with a weapon (melee attacks or ranged attacks), and damage and dying
• Picking skills, armor, weapons, and gear
• Choosing spells if your character is a sorcerer or domains for a cleric
• Building encounter or combat strategies and using advanced tactics
• Maximizing
  your character’s power with the acquisition of the right magic items:
  armor, weapons, potion, scroll, ring, wand, staff, rod, plus wondrous
  items

There’s
even a sample play session that walks you through typical play, gets
