What are some things that you wish you knew when you first started playing the game that would’ve made it easier starting out?
For me, since I’m not too familiar with DND, I didn’t understand armor class, and how important it was. Now my understanding is that enemies need to roll higher than your armor class on a D20 (plus their attack bonus) to be able to hit you. So the higher your AC, the higher your enemies have to roll, and the harder it is to hit you. (Maybe this is wrong too, hopefully not!) But looking back, no wonder my little bard with 13 AC in my early playthroughs was getting absolutely WHOMPED. Understanding AC made me way better in combat.
What about you folks? Stuff you wish you knew starting out?
