| − | =Welcome to Giger's D&D 5th Edition Help Section=
| |
| − | This page was setup to try to help you, the new player, with getting started and join in on the adventure. There is a great deal to learn, if you're new to Roll20, especially if you're new to table top games, so take your time, be patient and most of all - be curious, you can't break anything!
| |
| | | | |
| − | Most of the information here is available elsewhere, I just brought it together in a single section - which i found most relevant.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Foreword==
| |
| − | There is so much content and information available it's just not possible to provide everything. You need the Player's Hand Book (PHB), you need to be comfortable using the Journal section and the compendium.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you're not familiar enough with the Journal you may miss out on lots of homebrew rules, such as new combat actions, domains, archetypes, items and much more.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Simply put, if you don't know how to use this system, you will never have all the information available to you.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Get the PHB, get deeply familiar with the Journal and the Compendium.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Watch the videos, read the information provided - it's not there just to make things look busy.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As always, feedback is ALWAYS appreciated.

| |
| − | What really needs to be drilled in is the Journal, Handouts and the Compendium, which is found on the right of the screen
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Journal & Compendium====
| |
| − | The Journal is where you find character sheets and handouts that contain information on Game Rules [[File:Journal2.0.jpg|right|frame|border]] and is found on the right side of your screen
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | What isn't show is the button to the Compendium - which contains all the D&D information, such as spells, weapons, class information - which you can see an example of [http://i.imgur.com/T0I13ZH.gif here]

| |
| − | ==Using The Character Sheet==
| |
| − | We are using the 5e OGL character sheet by Roll20. It's quite simple to use, and a lot of the 'math' parts have been taken care of for you.
| |

| − | ==Rules==
| |
| − | There are specific rules or process that governs how a character is to be created. For the most part, the rules are identical to the core book (Players Handbook), so please get a copy of the Player's Handbook (can be googled).

| − |
| |
| − | The Player's Handbook also contains A LOT of information that you would be missing out on if you just used the compendium.
| |

| |
| − | ===Character Creation===
| |
| − | Character creation, your first time around, can be pretty intimidating - but at the end of the day, it's very straight forward, if you know where to look.
