Rule highlights
Core rules subset
Start here to learn how a battle works: twelve short highlights, each checked against the game's rules at the revision shown below.
These are twelve selected core-rule highlights, not a complete rules manual or a public agent gameplay API. Class, spell, feat, map, reward, equipment and status exceptions are not covered.
