Initiative: Combat begins with an initiative roll to decide the order of combat. This roll is a D20 + your Dexterity Modifier + any other miscellaneous modifiers for feats, class abilities etc. I'll roll everyone's initiative so you don't have to worry about this.

Hit Points: Hit points are an abstraction of your character's health and are subtracted from whenever you take damage. If you have 0 Hit Points or lower, you are disabled an unable to take actions. When you reach negative hit points you take 1 damage per round. If you reach -10 hit points, you die.

AC: Your AC, or Armour Class, if your ability to avoid taking damage from attacks, either by virtue of dodging or armour.

When it's your turn you can take a move action and a standard action.

Move Action: This is generally used to move your character. You can move a number of feet equal to your base speed. You may move through squares occupied by allies but not by enemies. Move Actions can also be used for doing certain other things, such as drinking a potion or drawing a weapon.

Standard Action: These is the meat of your turn and is used for attacking, casting spells, and stabilizing allies.

Attacking: When you attack you designate a target and make an attack roll by rolling a D20 and adding pertinent modifiers. If your attack roll is equal to or exceeds the AC of your target, you hit them and are then able to roll for damage (given by the damage die for your weapon + pertinent modifiers). Remember the distinction: attack is to hit, damage is for how many hit points are subtracted.

Spells: Spells are all unique abilities and have their own rules which I will delineate in your character blurb.

Full Round Attacks: If you are able to devote both your standard action and your move action to attacking and you're holding a weapon in each hand, you may attack with each weapon at a penalty to your attack roll.

Stabilizing: You may use a standard action to aid an ally who has negative hit points. If you are successful, they no longer lose 1 HP every turn.

Flanking: If you and an ally are able to "sandwich" an enemy, by engaging said enemy on opposite sides, you each gain a +2 bonus to your attack rolls and characters with the Sneak Attack feature can apply their Sneak Attack damage.

Attacks of Opportunity: Sometimes you or an enemy may make a reckless maneuver that leaves them open to attack. These are called Attacks of Opportunity (AoO). You may make one AoO per round. You may only take AoOs with a melee weapon. The following actions provoke attacks of opportunity:
Using a Ranged Weapon
Casting a Spell
Disengaging from melee range with an enemy
Making an unarmed attack
Drinking a potion
Stabilizing an ally
