What is it about?

SRD 5.1 contains a selection of D&D fifth-edition rules for consulting the mechanics and creating original material. It includes character options, combat, magic, and monsters. This entry distinguishes that reference document from the complete commercial D&D catalogue and its separately protected settings and brands.

02

At the table

One person runs the world while the other players portray heroes. When an action is uncertain, dice rolls and character abilities help determine its outcome.
