The presence of fantastic creatures like the Halfling (corresponding to the hobbits), elves, dwarves, elves, orcs, dragons and so on, gives the place a character very close to the works of JRR Tolkien.
Dungeons and Dragons game can be considered a "let's pretend that ", where the options of the characters (PG) and the consequences of their choices are strictly controlled and measured by the rules. The game is presented by a Dungeon Master (DM) to a group of players of varying number (typically four). The DM acts as narrator and judge the decisions of the players, creating the fictional setting of the game, check out the events that are beyond the control of the characters and the actions of non-player characters (NPCs) involved in the story, interprets the opponents and the supporting characters and judge the actions of the adventurers. Most games are built around the adventures narrated by the DM and the plots can be very different. The player embarks on imaginary adventures in which many kinds of fighting imaginary monsters, while collecting treasure and experience points with the game progresses.
beginning of the game, each player (except DM) creates its own character, choosing gender (male or female), race (elf, dwarf, gnome, half-elf, human, halfling, half-orc), its class (paladin, cleric, druid, thief, barbarian, bard, ranger, warrior, Monaco, magician or wizard) and generating its characteristics (strength, dexterity, constitution, wisdom, intelligence and charisma). These choices determine what the character can do, how well you can do and how it will evolve by acquiring experience.
actions not automatic that is, with the possibility of error (such as jumping from the balcony of a tower) or which causes damage to another character (the most trivial example is the killing of a monster) are defined by the roll of the dice which, coupled with its various character's skills, determine whether or not achieved success in a particular action (for example, hitting an opponent with a weapon or break into a lock) and how well it managed to do so (for example the amount of damage to the opponent). Most of the decisions binary success / failure are determined by throwing a 20-sided die: the player rolls the dice and sum certain "modifiers" (determined by his skill in action, the quality of its instruments, improvements in which it was magical blessed or cursed, etc ...) to the result. If the sum is greater than or equal to the Difficulty Class action (ie what is resistant the armor of the opponent or how complex the lock), then it has successfully completed the action. Carefully choosing the class to play, what skills and develop such tools to carry a player can significantly improve his chances of success in a particular area of \u200b\u200bexpertise, cementing its role in the group. The system encourages the formation of a well-balanced group of specialists.
When a character defeats an enemy or complete a difficult task, since DM's are assigned an appropriate number of experience points. Once it has accumulated enough can advance to the next level, increasing its capacity. Some of the improvements are predetermined in accordance with the class choice (ie, all the warriors significantly improve their skills with weapons), while others may be chosen by the player, allowing some degree of character customization (how to develop a particular skill with the long bow).
The philosophy behind the game is to force cooperation among the players through the hyper-specialization ...
