However, I came across attunement for a magic item in an adventure, Googled it, and the first hit happened to be the basic rules here: [URL]https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules[/URL]. A quick glance at the relevant section (Chapter 14: Magic Items) shows significantly more information in the D&D Beyond version of the basic rules than in the Wizards.com PDF version. :eek: The Wizards.com version is marked version 1.0, dated 2018. I can't see a version number on the D&D Beyond version. Any idea [B]which is the latest/best version[/B] to learn, to get an overview of the rules and mechanics etc, before progressing to the full books (which I also have)?
