The Basic Rules for Dungeons & Dragons is a PDF (over 100 pages, in fact) that covers the core of the game. It runs from levels 1 to 20 and covers the cleric, fighter, rogue, and wizard, presenting what we view as the essential subclass for each. It also provides the dwarf, elf, halfling, and human as race options; in addition, the rules contain 120 spells, 5 backgrounds, and character sheets. But the best part? The Basic Rules is a free PDF. Anyone can download it. <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules?x=dnd/basicrules" rel="nofollow">http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules?x=dnd/basicrules</a>
