"desc": "An attack roll determines whether an attack hits a target. An attack roll hits if the roll equals or exceeds the target’s Armor Class. Attack rolls usually occur in battle, described in “Combat” later in “Playing the Game,” but the GM might also ask for an attack roll in other situations, such as an archery competition.\n\n## Ability Modifier\n\nThe Attack Roll Abilities table shows which ability modifier to use for different types of attack rolls.\n\nTable: Attack Roll Abilities\n\n|Ability|Attack Type|\n|---|---|\n|Strength|Melee attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike (see “Rules Glossary”)|\n|Dexterity|Ranged attack with a weapon|\n|Varies|Spell attack (the ability used is determined by the spellcaster’s spellcasting feature, as explained in “Spells”)|\n\nSome features let you use different ability modifiers from those listed. For example, the Finesse property (see “Equipment”) lets you use Strength or Dexterity with a weapon that has that property.\n\n## Proficiency Bonus\n\nYou add your Proficiency Bonus to your attack roll when you attack using a weapon you have proficiency with, as well as when you attack with a spell. See “Proficiency” later in “Playing the Game” for more information about weapon proficiencies.\n\n## Armor Class\n\nA creature’s Armor Class represents how well the creature avoids being wounded in combat. The AC of a character is determined at character creation (see “Character Creation”), whereas the AC of a monster appears in its stat block.\n\n**Calculating AC.** All creatures start with the same base AC calculation:\n\nA creature’s AC can then be modified by armor, magic items, spells, and more.\n\n**Only One Base AC.** Some spells and class features give characters a different way to calculate their AC. A character with multiple features that give different ways to calculate AC must choose which one to use; only one base calculation can be in effect for a creature.\n\nRolling 20 or 1\n\nIf you roll a 20 on the d20 (called a “natural 20”) for an attack roll, the attack hits regardless of any modifiers or the target’s AC. This is called a Critical Hit (see “Combat” later in “Playing the Game”).\n\nIf you roll a 1 on the d20 (a “natural 1”) for an attack roll, the attack misses regardless of any modifiers or the target’s AC.",

"name": "Interacting with Objects",
"desc": "Interacting with objects is often simple to resolve. The player tells the GM that their character is doing something, such as moving a lever or opening a door, and the GM describes what happens. Sometimes, however, rules govern what you can do with an object, as detailed in the following sections.\n\n## What Is an Object?\n\nFor the purpose of the rules, an object is a discrete, inanimate item like a window, door, sword, book, table, chair, or stone. It isn’t a building or a vehicle, which are composed of many objects.\n\n## Time-Limited Object Interactions\n\nWhen time is short, such as in combat, interactions with objects are limited: one free interaction per turn. That interaction must occur during a creature’s movement or action. Any additional interactions require the Utilize action, as explained in “Combat” later in “Playing the Game.”\n\n## Finding Hidden Objects\n\nWhen your character searches for hidden things, such as a secret door or a trap, the GM typically asks you to make a Wisdom (Perception) check, provided you describe the character searching in the hidden object’s vicinity. On a success, you find the object, other important details, or both.\n\nIf you describe your character searching nowhere near a hidden object, a Wisdom (Perception) check won’t reveal the object, no matter the check’s total.\n\n## Carrying Objects\n\nYou can usually carry your gear and treasure without worrying about the weight of those objects. If you try to haul an unusually heavy object or a massive number of lighter objects, the GM might require you to abide by the rules for carrying capacity in “Rules Glossary.”\n\n## Breaking Objects\n\nAs an action, you can automatically break or otherwise destroy a fragile, nonmagical object, such as a glass container or a piece of paper. If you try to damage something more resilient, the GM might use the rules on breaking objects in “Rules Glossary.”",

"desc": "On your turn, you can move a distance equal to your Speed or less. Or you can decide not to move.\n\nYour movement can include climbing, crawling, jumping, and swimming (each explained in “Rules Glossary”). These different modes of movement can be combined with your regular movement, or they can constitute your entire move.\n\nHowever you’re moving with your Speed, you deduct the distance of each part of your move from it until it is used up or until you are done moving, whichever comes first.\n\nA character’s Speed is determined during character creation. A monster’s Speed is noted in the monster’s stat block. See “Rules Glossary” for more about Speed as well as about special speeds, such as a Climb Speed, Fly Speed, or Swim Speed.\n\n## Difficult Terrain\n\nCombatants are often slowed down by Difficult Terrain. Low furniture, rubble, undergrowth, steep stairs, snow, and shallow bogs are examples of Difficult Terrain.\n\nEvery foot of movement in Difficult Terrain costs 1 extra foot, even if multiple things in a space count as Difficult Terrain.\n\n## Breaking Up Your Move\n\nYou can break up your move, using some of its movement before and after any action, Bonus Action, or Reaction you take on the same turn. For example, if you have a Speed of 30 feet, you could go 10 feet, take an action, and then go 20 feet.\n\n## Dropping Prone\n\nOn your turn, you can give yourself the Prone condition (see “Rules Glossary”) without using an action or any of your Speed, but you can’t do so if your Speed is 0.\n\n## Creature Size\n\nA creature belongs to a size category, which determines the width of the square space the creature occupies on a map, as shown on the Creature Size and Space table. That table lists the sizes from smallest (Tiny) to largest (Gargantuan). A creature’s space is the area that it effectively controls in combat and the area it needs to fight effectively.\n\nA character’s size is determined by species, and a monster’s size is specified in the monster’s stat block.\n\nTable: Creature Size and Space\n\n|Size|Space (Feet)|Space (Squares)|\n|---|---|---|\n|Tiny|2½ by 2½ feet|4 per square|\n|Small|5 by 5 feet|1 square|\n|Medium|5 by 5 feet|1 square|\n|Large|10 by 10 feet|4 squares (2 by 2)|\n|Huge|15 by 15 feet|9 squares (3 by 3)|\n|Gargantuan|20 by 20 feet|16 squares (4 by 4)|\n\n## Moving around Other Creatures\n\nDuring your move, you can pass through the space of an ally, a creature that has the Incapacitated condition (see “Rules Glossary”), a Tiny creature, or a creature that is two sizes larger or smaller than you.\n\nAnother creature’s space is Difficult Terrain for you unless that creature is Tiny or your ally.\n\nYou can’t willingly end a move in a space occupied by another creature. If you somehow end a turn in a space with another creature, you have the Prone condition (see “Rules Glossary”) unless you are Tiny or are of a larger size than the other creature.",

"desc": "To determine your character's ability scores, you first generate a set of six numbers using the instructions below and then assign them to your six abilities. \"Playing the Game\" explains what each ability means.\n\n### Generate Your Scores\n\nDetermine your ability scores by using one of the following three methods. Your GM might prefer you to use a particular one.\n\n**Standard Array.** Use the following six scores for your abilities: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8.\n\n**Random Generation.** Roll four d6s and record the total of the highest three dice. Do this five more times, so you have six numbers.\n\n**Point Cost.** You have 27 points to spend on your ability scores. The cost of each score is shown on the Ability Score Point Costs table. For example, a score of 14 costs 7 of your 27 points.\n\n| Score | Cost | Score | Cost |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 8| 0| 12| 4|\n| 9| 1| 13| 5|\n| 10| 2| 14| 7|\n| 11| 3| 15| 9|\n\n### Assign Ability Scores\n\nOnce you've generated six scores, assign them to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, keeping in mind your class's primary ability. Fill in the ability modifiers as well.\n\nIf you're using the Standard Array option, consult the Standard Array by Class table for suggestions on where to assign scores for your character's class. The table puts the highest scores in a class's main abilities. If you used a different method to generate the scores, you may still use this table to guide where you place your highest and lowest scores.\n\n| Class | Str. | Dex. | Con. | Int. | Wis. | Cha. |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Barbarian | 15| 13| 14| 10| 12| 8|\n| Bard| 8| 14| 12| 13| 10| 15|\n| Cleric| 14| 8| 13| 10| 15| 12|\n| Druid| 8| 12| 14| 13| 15| 10|\n| Fighter| 15| 14| 13| 8| 10| 12|\n| Monk| 12| 15| 13| 10| 14| 8|\n| Paladin| 15| 10| 13| 8| 12| 14|\n| Ranger| 12| 15| 13| 8| 14| 10|\n| Rogue| 12| 15| 13| 14| 10| 8|\n| Sorcerer| 10| 13| 14| 8| 12| 15|\n| Warlock| 8| 14| 13| 12| 10| 15|\n| Wizard| 8| 12| 13| 15| 14| 10|\n\n### Adjust Ability Scores\n\nAfter assigning your ability scores, adjust them according to your background. Your background lists three abilities; increase one of those scores by 2 and a different one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20.\n\nSome players like to increase their class's primary ability, while others prefer to increase a low score.\n\n### Determine Ability Modifiers\n\nFinally, determine your ability modifiers using the Ability Scores and Modifiers table. Write the modifier next to each of your scores.\n\n| Score | Modifier | Score | Modifier |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 3| −4| 12–13 | +1|\n| 4–5| −3| 14–15| +2|\n| 6–7| −2| 16–17 | +3|\n| 8–9| −1| 18–19 | +4|\n| 10–11| +0| 20| +5|",

If you instead have advantage and roll those numbers, you use the 17.\n\nIf multiple situations affect a roll and each one grants advantage or imposes disadvantage on it, you don't roll more than one additional d20.\nIf two favorable situations grant advantage, for example, you still roll only one additional d20.\n\nIf circumstances cause a roll to have both advantage and disadvantage, you are considered to have neither of them, and you roll one d20. This is true even if multiple circumstances impose disadvantage and only one grants advantage or vice versa. In such a situation, you have neither advantage nor disadvantage.\n\nWhen you have advantage or disadvantage and something in the game, such as the halfling's Lucky trait, lets you reroll the d20, you can reroll only one of the dice. You choose which one. For example, if a halfling has advantage or disadvantage on an ability check and rolls a 1 and a 13, the halfling could use the Lucky trait to reroll the 1.\n\nYou usually gain advantage or disadvantage through the use of special abilities, actions, or spells. Inspiration can also give a character advantage. The GM can also decide that circumstances influence a roll in one direction or the other and grant advantage or impose disadvantage as a result.",

More horrific effects or cumulative effects can result in long-term or indefinite madness.\n\nA character afflicted with **short-term madness** is subjected to an effect from the Short-Term Madness table for 1d10 minutes.\n\nA character afflicted with **long-term madness** is subjected to an effect from the Long-Term Madness table for 1d10 × 10 hours.\n\nA character afflicted with **indefinite madness** gains a new character flaw from the Indefinite Madness table that lasts until cured.\n\n**Short-Term Madness (table)**\n| d100 | Effect (lasts 1d10 minutes) |\n|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| 01-20 | The character retreats into his or her mind and becomes paralyzed. The effect ends if the character takes any damage. |\n| 21-30 | The character becomes incapacitated and spends the duration screaming, laughing, or weeping. |\n| 31-40 | The character becomes frightened and must use his or her action and movement each round to flee from the source of the fear. |\n| 41-50 | The character begins babbling and is incapable of normal speech or spellcasting. |\n| 51-60 | The character must use his or her action each round to attack the nearest creature. |\n| 61-70 | The character experiences vivid hallucinations and has disadvantage on ability checks. |\n| 71-75 | The character does whatever anyone tells him or her to do that isn't obviously self- destructive. |\n| 76-80 | The character experiences an overpowering urge to eat something strange such as dirt, slime, or offal. |\n| 81-90 | The character is stunned. |\n| 91-100 | The character falls unconscious. |\n\n**Long-Term Madness (table)**\n| d100 | Effect (lasts 1d10 × 10 hours) |\n|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| 01-10 | The character feels compelled to repeat a specific activity over and over, such as washing hands, touching things, praying, or counting coins. |\n| 11-20 | The character experiences vivid hallucinations and has disadvantage on ability checks. |\n| 21-30 | The character suffers extreme paranoia.

Choose a potion. The character imagines that he or she is under its effects. |\n| 46-55 | The character becomes attached to a “lucky charm,” such as a person or an object, and has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws while more than 30 feet from it. |\n| 56-65 | The character is blinded (25%) or deafened (75%). |\n| 66-75 | The character experiences uncontrollable tremors or tics, which impose disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws that involve Strength or Dexterity. |\n| 76-85 | The character suffers from partial amnesia. The character knows who he or she is and retains racial traits and class features, but doesn't recognize other people or remember anything that happened before the madness took effect. |\n| 86-90 | Whenever the character takes damage, he or she must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be affected as though he or she failed a saving throw against the confusion spell.

A magic item meant to be worn must be donned in the intended fashion: boots go on the feet, gloves on the hands, hats and helmets on the head, and rings on the finger.

A weapon must be held.\n\nIn most cases, a magic item that’s meant to be worn can fit a creature regardless of size or build. Many magic garments are made to be easily adjustable, or they magically adjust themselves to the wearer. Rare exceptions exist. If the story suggests a good reason for an item to fit only creatures of a certain size or shape, you can rule that it doesn’t adjust. For example, drow-made armor might fit elves only. Dwarves might make items usable only by dwarf-sized and dwarf-shaped folk.\n\nWhen a nonhumanoid tries to wear an item, use your discretion as to whether the item functions as intended.

"name": "Type",
"desc": "A monster’s type speaks to its fundamental nature. Certain spells, magic items, class features, and other effects in the game interact in special ways with creatures of a particular type. For example, an *arrow of dragon slaying* deals extra damage not only to dragons but also other creatures of the dragon type, such as dragon turtles and wyverns.\n\nThe game includes the following monster types, which have no rules of their own.\n\n**Aberrations** are utterly alien beings. Many of them have innate magical abilities drawn from the creature’s alien mind rather than the mystical forces of the world. The quintessential aberrations are aboleths, beholders, mind flayers, and slaadi.\n\n**Beasts** are nonhumanoid creatures that are a natural part of the fantasy ecology. Some of them have magical powers, but most are unintelligent and lack any society or language. Beasts include all varieties of ordinary animals, dinosaurs, and giant versions of animals.\n\n**Celestials** are creatures native to the Upper Planes. Many of them are the servants of deities, employed as messengers or agents in the mortal realm and throughout the planes. Celestials are good by nature, so the exceptional celestial who strays from a good alignment is a horrifying rarity. Celestials include angels, couatls, and pegasi.\n\n**Constructs** are made, not born. Some are programmed by their creators to follow a simple set of instructions, while others are imbued with sentience and capable of independent thought. Golems are the iconic constructs. Many creatures native to the outer plane of Mechanus, such as modrons, are constructs shaped from the raw material of the plane by the will of more powerful creatures.\n\n**Dragons** are large reptilian creatures of ancient origin and tremendous power. True dragons, including the good metallic dragons and the evil chromatic dragons, are highly intelligent and have innate magic. Also in this category are creatures distantly related to true dragons, but less powerful, less intelligent, and less magical, such as wyverns and pseudodragons.\n\n**Elementals** are creatures native to the elemental planes. Some creatures of this type are little more than animate masses of their respective elements, including the creatures simply called elementals. Others have biological forms infused with elemental energy. The races of genies, including djinn and efreet, form the most important civilizations on the elemental planes. Other elemental creatures include azers and invisible stalkers.\n\n**Fey** are magical creatures closely tied to the forces of nature. They dwell in twilight groves and misty forests. In some worlds, they are closely tied to the Feywild, also called the Plane of Faerie. Some are also found in the Outer Planes, particularly the planes of Arborea and the Beastlands. Fey include dryads, pixies, and satyrs.\n\n**Fiends** are creatures of wickedness that are native to the Lower Planes. A few are the servants of deities, but many more labor under the leadership of archdevils and demon princes. Evil priests and mages sometimes summon fiends to the material world to do their bidding. If an evil celestial is a rarity, a good fiend is almost inconceivable. Fiends include demons, devils, hell hounds, rakshasas, and yugoloths.\n\n**Giants** tower over humans and their kind. They are humanlike in shape, though some have multiple heads (ettins) or deformities (fomorians). The six varieties of true giant are hill giants, stone giants, frost giants, fire giants, cloud giants, and storm giants. Besides these, creatures such as ogres and trolls are giants.\n\n**Humanoids** are the main peoples of a fantasy gaming world, both civilized and savage, including humans and a tremendous variety of other species. They have language and culture, few if any innate magical abilities (though most humanoids can learn spellcasting), and a bipedal form. The most common humanoid races are the ones most suitable as player characters: humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings. Almost as numerous but far more savage and brutal, and almost uniformly evil, are the races of goblinoids (goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears), orcs, gnolls, lizardfolk, and kobolds.\n\n**Monstrosities** are monsters in the strictest sense—frightening creatures that are not ordinary, not truly natural, and almost never benign. Some are the results of magical experimentation gone awry (such as owlbears), and others are the product of terrible curses (including minotaurs and yuan-ti). They defy categorization, and in some sense serve as a catch-all category for creatures that don’t fit into any other type.\n\n**Oozes** are gelatinous creatures that rarely have a fixed shape. They are mostly subterranean, dwelling in caves and dungeons and feeding on refuse, carrion, or creatures unlucky enough to get in their way. Black puddings and gelatinous cubes are among the most recognizable oozes.\n\n**Plants** in this context are vegetable creatures, not ordinary flora. Most of them are ambulatory, and some are carnivorous. The quintessential plants are the shambling mound and the treant. Fungal creatures such as the gas spore and the myconid also fall into this category.\n\n**Undead** are once-living creatures brought to a horrifying state of undeath through the practice of necromantic magic or some unholy curse. Undead include walking corpses, such as vampires and zombies, as well as bodiless spirits, such as ghosts and specters.",

A controlled mount can move and act even on the turn that you mount it.\n\nAn independent mount retains its place in the initiative order. Bearing a rider puts no restrictions on the actions the mount can take, and it moves and acts as it wishes. It might flee from combat, rush to attack and devour a badly injured foe, or otherwise act against your wishes.\n\nIn either case, if the mount provokes an opportunity attack while you're on it, the attacker can target you or the mount.",

The table states how farthe party can move in a period of time and whether the pace has anyeffect. A fast pace makes characters less perceptive, while a slow pacemakes it possible to sneak around and to search an area more carefully.\n\n**Forced March.** The Travel Pace table assumes that characters travelfor 8 hours in day. They can push on beyond that limit, at the risk of exhaustion.\n\nFor each additional hour of travel beyond 8 hours, the characters coverthe distance shown in the Hour column for their pace, and each charactermust make a Constitution saving throw at the end of the hour. The DC is 10 + 1 for each hour past 8 hours. On a failed saving throw, a charactersuffers one level of exhaustion.\n\n**Mounts and Vehicles.** For short spans of time (up to an hour), many animals move much faster than humanoids. A mounted character can ride at a gallop for about an hour, covering twice the usual distance for a fastpace. If fresh mounts are available every 8 to 10 miles, characters cancover larger distances at this pace, but this is very rare except indensely populated areas.\nCharacters in wagons, carriages, or other land vehicles choose a pace asnormal. Characters in a waterborne vessel are limited to the speed ofthe vessel, and they don't suffer penalties for a fast pace or gainbenefits from a slow pace. Depending on the vessel and the size of thecrew, ships might be able to travel for up to 24 hours per day.\nCertain special mounts, such as a pegasus or griffon, or specialvehicles, such as a carpet of flying, allow you to travel more swiftly.",

Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield.\n\nIf you use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a melee attack, you treat the weapon as an improvised weapon (see “Improvised Weapons” later in the section). A sling must be loaded to deal any damage when used in this way.\n\n**_Finesse._** When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.\n\n**_Heavy._** Small creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A heavy weapon's size and bulk make it too large for a Small creature to use effectively. \n\n**_Light_**. A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons.\n\n**_Loading._** Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.\n\n**_Range._** A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon's normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon's long range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll.

If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the dagger has the finesse property.\n\n**_Two-Handed._** This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.\n\n**_Versatile._** This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property-the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.",

Even gloomy days provide Bright Light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.\n\n**Dim Light.** Dim Light, also called shadows, creates a Lightly Obscured area.

The combination of background, species, and languages provides fertile soil for your imagination as you ponder your character's earliest days.\n\n### Choose a Background\n\nChoose your character's background, and write it on your character sheet. You can choose any of the backgrounds detailed in \"Character Origins,\" and your GM might offer additional backgrounds as options.\n\nThe background you choose influences step 3, when you determine your character's ability scores. If you're having trouble choosing, the Ability Scores and Backgrounds table shows which backgrounds benefit which ability scores. Look for your class's primary ability there.\n\n| Ability | Background |\n|---|---|\n| Strength | Soldier |\n| Dexterity | Soldier |\n| Constitution | Soldier |\n| Intelligence | Acolyte |\n| Wisdom | Acolyte |\n| Charisma | Acolyte |\n\n**Record Your Feat.** A background gives you a feat, which grants your character particular capabilities. Feats are detailed in \"Feats.\" Write the feat on your character sheet.\n\n**Note Proficiencies.** Your background gives proficiency in two skills and with one tool. Record this information on your character sheet.\n\nYour class also gives proficiencies. Check your class description in \"Classes\" and note the proficiencies on your character sheet.\n\nThe features table in your class description shows your Proficiency Bonus (described in \"Playing the Game\"), which is +2 for a level 1 character. Note this number on your character sheet. You'll fill in other numbers connected to these proficiencies in step 5.\n\n### Choose Starting Equipment\n\nYour background and class both provide starting equipment. Any coins that you gain at this step can be immediately spent on equipment from \"Equipment.\"\n\nRecord your chosen equipment on your character sheet. Equipment is described in \"Equipment\", but for now you can just write it all down and look up the specifics in \"Equipment\" later. Note any coins you have left after purchasing your equipment.\n\n### Choose a Species\n\nChoose a species for your character. The following species options are detailed in \"Character Origins\": Dragonborn, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Goliath, Halfling, Human, Orc, and Tiefling. Once you've chosen a species, write it on your character sheet. Then record your species' traits.\n\nYour character's size and Speed are determined by the character's species; record these in the appropriate places on your character sheet as well (you may write just the first letter of your size).\n\n### Imagine Your Past and Present\n\nLet your character's background and species inspire how you imagine their past. That past fed into the character's present. With that in mind, consider answers to the following questions as your character:\n\n- Who raised you?\n- Who was your dearest childhood friend?\n- Did you grow up with a pet?\n- Have you fallen in love? If so, with whom?\n- Did you join an organization, such as a guild or religion? If so, are you still a member of it?\n- What elements of your past inspire you to go on adventures now?\n\n### Choose Languages\n\nYour character knows at least three languages: Common plus two languages you roll or choose from the Standard Languages table. Knowledge of a language means your character can communicate in it, read it, and write it. Your class and other features might also give you languages.\n\nThe Standard Languages table lists languages that are widespread in the setting. Every player character knows Common. The other standard languages originated with the first members of the most prominent species in the setting and have since spread widely.\n\n| 1d12| Language|\n|---|---|\n| — | Common |\n| 1 | Common Sign Language |\n| 2 | Draconic |\n| 3–4 | Dwarvish |\n| 5–6 | Elvish|\n| 7 |Giant|\n|8|Gnomish|\n|9|Goblin|\n|10–11|Halfling|\n|12|Orc|\n\nThe Rare Languages table lists languages that are either secret or derived from other planes of existence and thus less widespread in the worlds of the Material Plane. Some features let a character learn a rare language.\n\n| Language| Language|\n|---|---|\n| Abyssal| Primordial*|\n| Celestial| Sylvan|\n| Deep Speech | Thieves' Cant |\n| Druidic | Undercommon |\n| Infernal| |\n\n (Primordial includes the Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran dialects. Creatures that know one of these dialects can communicate with those that know a different one.)",

Those races have strong inborn tendencies that match the nature of their gods. Most orcs share the violent, savage nature of the orc gods, and are thus inclined toward evil. Even if an orc chooses a good alignment, it struggles against its innate tendencies for its entire life. (Even half-orcs feel the lingering pull of the orc god's influence.)\n\nAlignment is an essential part of the nature of celestials and fiends. A devil does not choose to be lawful evil, and it doesn't tend toward lawful evil, but rather it is lawful evil in its essence. If it somehow ceased to be lawful evil, it would cease to be a devil.\n\nMost creatures that lack the capacity for rational thought do not have alignments-they are **unaligned**.
