roll dice to deter-mine whether their attacks hit or miss and whethertheir characters can scale a cliff,roll away from thestrike of a magical lightning bolt,or pull off some otherdangerous task.Anything is possible,but the dicemake some things more probable than others.  \n5  \nike right,Lucas,le' seo seakyareakeatei ccLucas:withmyStealthsteathkill,right?keyuetike五O,ther's no signthat

skilledbard or ranger,or a spellcasting wizard.(The charactersheets included in this set describe five heroes to getyou started.)With some friends and a little imagination,you strike out on grand quests and daring adventures,testing yourself against an array of challenges andbloodthirsty monsters.  \nOne player takes on the role of the Dungeon Master,the game's lead storyteller and referee.The DM is incharge of the adventure,which appears in the adven-ture book,while the characters navigate the adven-ture's hazards and decide where to explore.The DMmight describe the entrance to an ancient,ruined cas-tle,and the players decide what they want their adven-turers to do.Will they boldly stride up to the fallen gate,or try to sneak up in case anyone's watching throughthose arrow slits?Circle around the castle looking foranother entrance?Or cast a'spell to cloak themselvesin invisibility?  \nThe DM determines the results of the adventurers'actions and narrates what the characters experience.Because the DM can improvise to react to anything theplayers attempt,D&D is infinitely flexible,and each ad-venture can be exciting and unexpected.  \nThere's no winning and losing in D&D-at least notthe way those terms are usually understood.Together,the DM and the players create a story of bold adven-turers who confront deadly perils.Sometimes anadventurer might come to a grisly end,torn apart byferocious monsters or done in by a nefarious villain.Even so,the other adventurers can search for power-ful magic to revive their fallen comrade,or the playermight choose to play a new character.The group might  \nfail to complete an adventure successfully,but if theplayers had a good time and created a memorablestory,they all win.  \n## Getting Started\n\nIf this is your
