So I'm using this chapter to give you the basics of what Dungeons and Dragons are, as well as a small amount of info about what classes I chose for the characters. I thought these would fit them a lot so it would make sense to give it to them.
The Professor looked at the teens as they were making their characters. "Okay kids, I'm going to explain a few things to you."
"That would help," Boomer said thankfully as he rubbed his head. "All these things are so confusing to me."
"Really? I'm already so close to finishing," Brick said.
"It's because you're a nerd," Butch stated.
"I'm almost done too though!" Bubbles pouted.
"You're not a nerd though."
"Wait you're almost done?" Blossom asked. "How? There's too much to consider when making a character." The red haired girl had a frown on her face as she looked at her sheet.
"It's because you're trying to min-max," Buttercup said with some anger in her voice. "You always do that when we play any sort of game. Takes forever, I'm glad that Brick even asked for us to make names."
"But it makes sense to do so." Blossom looked at her sister. "Don't you want to be the best in something?"
"But part of this game is about role playing!" Bubbles shouted out. "You know to act like your character, as well as to you know…not look at the numbers yet."
"I agree with her with her for once," Brick said. "It's something simple Red." He looked at everyone. "So just roll four six sided die, take out the lowest score and that's the number for one of your abilities."
"Okay now that is out of the way, let me explain the abilities who for those who do not understand it," the Professor interrupted. "There are six main attributes. Not every class needs it every attribute so be sure to place your scores accordingly. The scale is from 1 to 20 with some items making the numbers go beyond twenty."
Boomer, Butch and Buttercup nodded.
"Now, strength determines how hard you hit and how much you carry. Most weapons are based on this stat."
"No duh…" Brick muttered before getting kicked by Blossom under the table. "Ow! Hey what gives?" Blossom gave him a hard look. Brick rolled his eyes but shut his mouth.
"Dexterity determines your speed as wells your stealth and how graceful you are. Other weapons use this stat instead."
"I guess Butch doesn't have much of that huh?" Buttercup said with a smirk.
"Neither do you," Butch retorted earning a kick from his counterpart.
"Constitution determines how much health you have. This stat also determines some ability checks seeing as poisons affect stat."
"So that one is important," Boomer muttered to himself.
"Intelligence is how smart you are. It's how much you've learned over time through studying."
"Something both Brick and Blossom have a lot of!" Bubbles said enthusiastically. The two redheads gave her a smile, although Brick was more like an raised eyebrow.
"Wisdom is how you perceive your surroundings as well as how well you read other people."
"So another smart thing for smart people," Butch snorted.
"Lastly there is charisma. It's how you well you speak and influence others."
"And that is the ability for mouthy people," Brick said looking at everyone at the table. This received glares from most of the teens there.
"Now there are a lot of races and classes in the game," The Professor said. "Don't worry about what you look like just yet. I'll let you introduce yourselves within the game. For now though, when you finish let me see your sheets to see if you got the ability scores right now.
"Got it," Brick said as he handed his sheet over. "You going to say things about our classes too? Just so other people can understand what we chose?"
"Why not." The professor said with a smile.
