| ==Background== | | ==Background== |
| '''Dungeons and Dragons''', alternatively '''Dungeons & Dragons''' (abbreviated '''DND''' or '''D&D'''), is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, then published TSR in 1974, and then later being owned by Wizards of the Coast (and thus Hasbro as a whole) in 1997. It is known to be one of the most famous RPGs of all time, having a massive influence on video games.
| | ==Statistics== |
| | | '''[[Tiering System|Tier]]''': '''Low 2-B''' |
| The gameplay of Dungeons and Dragons consists of a Dungeon Master (alternatively called "Game Master") and party of usually five people, though there is technically no limit.
| |
| | |
| See [[User blog:Cerberusleuth/Dungeons and Dragons: An In-Depth Explanation Blog|this blog]] for more info on scaling, explanations, cosmology, canonicity, and etc.
| |
| ==Power of the Verse== | |
| Each D&D character, thanks to the nature of Saving Throws, are able to resist a massive variety of hax. As challenge ratings of characters rise, characters go from '''Room level''' up to '''Multi-Continental level''', as well as being able to possess '''FTL''' speeds (though characters who can choose to succeed Saving Throws can essentially ignore speed altogether). Several characters can cast several different spells, having a wide array of hax. Stronger entities tend to have more powerful abilities, for example, [[The Tarrasque]] having an insane regeneration factor that it needs to be killed by a Wish to keep it dead.
| |
| | |
| Stronger entities exist in the verse, such as Demon Lords and Deities. All of them are usually somewhere into '''Tier 2'''. Demon Lords have shown to possess strong abilities, such as [[Orcus|one who can kill deities with a mere word]] and [[Demogorgon|the prince of them being able to control others with his glare]]. Deities tend to be much stronger, having several abilities that make them difficult to kill (Abstract Existence, Immortality, Regeneration, resistances, etc.) as well as having the ability to go first in combat, have multiple attacks, cast any spell in the game at any level, and automatically succeed any throw. More powerful gods, such as [[Vecna]] and [[Mystra (Midnight)|Mystra]] are able to change the fundemental aspects of the game with their power.
| |
| | |
| There exists stronger entities, though. The Far Realms, and the creatures that come within it, are beyond reality as a whole, putting them into '''Tier 1''' levels of power. The supreme entity of the franchise, is the [[Luminous Being]], or in other words, the Dungeon Master.

| ==Terms==
| |
| *'''Dungeon Master''': The narrator of the game, telling the story of the events and is in charge of the campaign. They control all NPCs, effectively being in charge of all things that are not in control of the Party.
| |
| | |
| *'''Party Members''': Each party member creates their own character, with a lot options to choose from. There are plenty of races to make your character (ex. Humans, Dwarfs, Dragonborn, Half-Elves, Tieflings, Halflings, Gnomes, and many more), as well 13 classes: Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard, and Artificer. Despite there only being 13, each class has "sub-classes", as well as an option for "multi-classing" at higher levels.
| |
| | |
| *'''Saving Throw''': A mechanic of "rolling a dice" to see if a character can succeed or fail an action. Results of the throw will determine the outcome. These allow characters to to hit opponents, dodge attacks, resist hax, and more.
