Core References
Due to the amount of rules in Dungeons and Dragons, players and DMs can get overwhelmed. Scanning through pages and pages of material can be taxing and time consuming, and is not condusive to table-top game play. Because of the difficulty to find certain items, we created this page as a quick reference guide. This page contains the explanation of core rules, and offers DMs some quick generators and tables. Some popular topics include carrying capacity, jumping distances, food and water needs, etc.
To quickly find something, enter a keyword into the search field below. As you type, only relevant links will be shown (filtering out text that doesn't match your keywords). Try and use only general terms. For example, if you are looking the description of the unconscious condition, just type "condition". If you are looking for how far a creature can jump, just type, "jump".
Are we missing something important? Is there a piece of D&D information that you are always looking up? Send us a message and let us know, and we will try to add it to this seciton.
