Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Kit
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
As the game is played, each PC changes over time and generally increases in capability. Characters gain (or sometimes lose) experience, skills [45] and wealth, and may even alter their alignment [46] or gain additional character classes. [47] The key way characters progress is by earning experience points (XP), which happens when they defeat an enemy or accomplish a difficult task. [48] Acquiring enough XP allows a PC to advance a level, which grants the character improved class features, abilities and skills. [49] XP can be lost in some circumstances, such as encounters with creatures that drain life energy, or by use of certain magical powers that come with an XP cost.

Dungeons & Dragons is a structured yet open-ended role-playing game. It is normally played indoors with the participants seated around a tabletop. Typically, one player takes on the role of Dungeon Master (DM) while the others each control a single character, representing an individual in a fictional setting. [24] When working together as a group, the player characters (PCs) are often described as a " party" of adventurers, with each member often having their own area of specialty that contributes to the success of the group as a whole. [25] [26] During the course of play, each player directs the actions of their character and their interactions with other characters in the game. [7] This activity is performed through the verbal impersonation of the characters by the players, while employing a variety of social and other useful cognitive skills, such as logic, basic mathematics and imagination. [27] A game often continues over a series of meetings to complete a single adventure, and longer into a series of related gaming adventures, called a " campaign". [7] [28] [29] Kastre, Michael F.
