My friends and I want to start a campaign. We don’t know the ruling for the game. We are waiting for our official book to come in so we can start our first session. Can anyone explain in a simplistic manner the rules for D&D? Classes and Races we will review ourselves. Just want to know the basics.
One important aspect of D&D “rules” is that theoretically there’s no specific limit on what your character can attempt. If you say your character attempts something the DM thinks clearly impossible or trivially easy, they may not even have you roll for it. “You plant your hands firmly at the base of the mountan and push and grunt, but you fail to move it noticeably.” “You squash the cockroach easily under your boot.”
