Just read chapters 7, 8 and 9 of the basic rules, and chapter 10 if you really wanna play a spellcasting class (not recommended for newbies!).įor any clarification, make sure to join the Newbie Help Chat where I am a helper! Also keep in mind that the Basic Rules includes less content than the Player's Handbook.)ĭon't have the bulk of the rulebook intimidate you: most of it is a list of races, classes, equipment, and dungeon master's tools you won't have to worry about (apart from the specific race and class you'll decide to play, of course!). (You won't be able to access all the content on DNDBeyond, some of it has to be bought just like the physical manuals, but it's still got a ton of free material –more than the Basic Rules– and it's a great way to easily find what you're looking for and have it organized.

Many D&D players don't know where to put their hands when making their first character so I've assembled this step-by-step guide! I've provided links to DNDBeyond, but you can always use the official manuals or the Basic rules for reference. Hello everyone! If you're just creating your first character, you've come to the right place.
