What Are the Basic Items Every D&d Player Should Have?

What are the basic items every D&D player should have, especially a beginner?

It depends on the player and the group t are joining. I would suggest one of the four classic classes, Fighter, Cleric, Wizard and Rogue. In that order. If all the players are new players, then each player should pick one of the above. If playing with a group of experienced players, you and t can guide them through playing almost any class or race, so the class chosen should suit the character of the player the best. Fighters Fighters are fun for first time players, t are the hardest to kill in combat as have armor and hit points, so survive silly newbie mistakes and hold their own. T are simple to play. Even if a player was joining an existing group this is still likely to be the best class to play. A new player could start with a 1st to 5th level Fighter with little trouble. Clerics Clerics, every party needs a Cleric, or an ample supply of healing potions no question. T are always welcome in every party, t hold their own in a fight well, so are of use even when not casting spells. A new player will feel active and needed playing a cleric. T are my personal favorite class. Because of the amount of spells clerics get, turning rules and so on I wouldn’t recommend a new player, playing one over 3rd level. Wizards Wizards are fairly easy to play at first level, but also easily killed. Generally, at first level when t have cast their one combat spell t just spend time, standing at the back doing nothing. Getting into toe to toe combat is a mistake. So t are OK for a player that wants to watch a more experienced group that will protect them and keep them out of trouble, but often the player may feel left out and dominated. Again spells are a problem at higher level, but a new player seeing Fireball on their character sheet, is going to have a good time using it. Rogue Rogue, I would say the Rogue is at first level is much more complicated than the other three. T have so many skills and special abilities. The new player will often not use them to their advantage or try to use them inappropriately. For example, the sneak attack rules are hard to grasp and takes some thought and planning from the player and cooperation from other characters. T may spot t have diplomacy and attempt to use it during combat when it will for obvious reasons fail, or use it without any attempt to first roleplay the situation. Meaning, the DM has nothing to go on to set the DC for how plausible the Diplomacy check will be, so cannot accurately set the DC. New players will tend to favor die rolls over roleplaying, more experienced players the converse. Diplomacy, rolls are a DMs call and usually happen if there is some dilemma. T shouldn’t replace roleplaying. Character Primers As a DM I tend to prepare primers for each character, for first time players. A workbook that distills all the rules regarding the characters unique skils abilities and spells. An easy refference guide to the rules specific to their character. Fighters just get their character sheet. Wizards get their character sheet & a slim book with all their spells. Clerics the same, with the addition of turning rules. Rogues get one sheet and pages of information containing all their skills and special abilities, so at first level Rogues are arguably the most rule intensive class. Later on Wizards and Clerics receive multiple volumes, containing their spells and stats for their summoned monsters. Half the Players Handbook is devoted to spell casters, so it is easy to see why t eventually become the most rules intensive classes. My list would be, Fighter, Cleric, Wizard then Rogue, for a new player playing a 1st level character, at higher levels Clerics and Wizards become a less viable option for a new player. I hope this helps.
