About Advanced Dungeons & Dragons

The Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game is a roleplaying system that allows players to explore worlds of fantasy and high adventure. One of the myriad AD&D worlds is the Forgotten Realms,

the setting LQ ROLŃO %MOGXUpV *MPH PMNHV SOMŃHB 7OH RRUOG \RX MUH HQPHUing is a complex one, but

to simplify things. Defining such a vast realm in even a series of intricate tomes would be difficult; but, for the sake of brevity, we have summarized things in the span of a few pages. This is by no means easy, but we outline some of the major features of the rules and how they may OMYH NHHQ LQPHUSUHPHG N\ qŃRPSXPHUr VŃULNHV NHORRB

In addition, we have applied the same concept of the initiative round to the individual monster and character rather than to the party. That is, instead of a group-based turn where first one side then the other performs all actions, every character or creature acts in real-time mode but on a personal initiative round. The personal initiative round is six seconds long, representing a ten-to-one reduction in the time of the round in the AD&D rules, which is sixty seconds. This time scale is consistent with the reduction in global game time. Most importantly, you can pause (or unpause) the action by hitting the space bar (for PC and Mac versions of the game only) or by clicking the clock icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. When you are paused, you can assign actions to any character and then resume the game by unpausing. This pause feature allows fans of turn-based combat to effectively play the game that way; it also can make some of the fiercer battles simpler, allowing players to consider their actions and tactics. Note: In the Gameplay Options menu, you can instruct the game to pause automatically when ŃHUPMLQ HYHQPV RŃŃXU VR POMP \RX GRQpP PLVV POHPB

Character Actions

The basic actions you can perform in the Realms are simple. You can wander the landscape, speak with the denizens, and occasionally swing a sword or two. These actions are described below, along with a few effects that may modify these basic actions.

Movement

while under the effects of a Haste spell or while wearing certain magical equipment. You can group select characters and easily move them into various formations, as described in more detail in The Sword Coast: A Survival Guide.

jovial rumor-swapping, or intimidating threats. Not everything you meet, human or otherwise, is out to kill your character. Help often appears in the most surprising forms. Thus it often pays to take the time to talk to people or creatures.

Fighting

that heroic. Also there are times when you know talking is not a good idea. Sooner or later, your characters must fight. The real trick is in knowing when to fight and when to talk or run.

Effects of Fatigue Your characters have to rest every so often, both to memorize spells and to regain their strength. If your characters start complaining that they are tired, it would be prudent to stop and make

your sleep is interrupted, and awaken refreshed. If your party was injured, party members will gain a few hit points every time they rest. A character can continue to operate at peak efficiency for 24 hours game time (2 hours real time). After this, the characters will start to complain of fatigue. For every 4 hours beyond this

24-hour mark, the player will receive a W1 luck penalty (W1 to all of their rolls). As soon as the

characters rest, all of these penalties will be removed. Note: Characters resting in rented rooms while visiting an inn will heal more or less depending on the quality of the room.

Effects of Encumbrance Each character has a certain number of inventory slots free, along with a number of slots associated with a paper doll representation of the character. One item may be placed in each slot. In addition, how much weight a character may carry is based on the Strength of that particular character. The weight allowances for your characters are listed in the tables at the end of this manual.

Effects of Intoxication All the better inns serve a variety of intoxicants. Drinking to excess will, of course, impair your

effectiveness hardly makes it worth it. The number of drinks you can have before suffering penalties is related to your Constitution, though recovery is uniform. A character with a Constitution of 3 will become quite tipsy after one drink, though regardless of the amount, a
