WELCOME TO DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE
™
: STORMREACH
™
30 years ago, Dungeons & Dragons
®
started a revolution when friends sitting around a
kitchen table found a new way to experience unforgettable adventures and share excitement
together. Today, Dungeons & Dragon Online: Stormreach (DDO) gives people the opportu-
nity to play the same kinds of heroic adventures together, but on their online-enabled com-
puters, instead of over the kitchen table. The game adheres very closely to the latest official
rules (v3.5), and provides a completely new way of experiencing D&D
®
. It’s also one of the
first visualizations of the newest D&D setting, Eberron
™
. Eberron is a land of magic and won-
der more exotic and not quite as medieval as previous settings.
In some places rules have been slightly modified to work better in a persistent online world.
Sometimes alternate PnP rules are used, such as the point-buy character creation system, or
the spell points system. Rest assured, we have worked very closely with the creators of
Dungeons & Dragons to make sure all changes are consistent with official D&D rules, and
more importantly, to work as well online as they do on paper.
If you are unfamiliar with D&D rules, don’t worry – we designed the game to be accessible to
both people who have never seen a 20-sided die (d20), and people who have been playing for
20 years or more. This manual and in-game help contain everything you need to know to get
started. If you would like to learn more about D&D or the Eberron setting, check out the
many D&D books at your local bookstore, or visit www.wizards.com.
Now, on to adventure as a heroic fighter, clever spellcaster, humble cleric, or devious rogue.
Treasure abounds in this land for those who have mastered their powers and assembled a
stout party. On to Stormreach!
