Silly me for thinking Spells and Spell DC's would be close to the same spot (that was a little sarcasm from me there, it doesn't translate well into text). Things were not where they were supposed to be and were referenced wrongly in that (which, as I said, no one addressed) and I probably missed it, but where did you say they told you how the Background and Equipment cards were supposed to work outside of the component overview diagram again?Where were my players supposed to read about this?  Where in the Read this First does it tell them what Hit Points are and thus how to identify Hit Point tokens and things like that?I am sorry, I must have missed that.I was the experienced player in the bunch though, soYou do realize though, that this does not help my players, nor does underhandly insulting them.  They do not read these boards. It may help me in the future, however, to understand how I may have missed certain things on my read through, or at least understand why they were so easily missed in the first place.It may also help me understand why you and others in this thread feel that the Starter Box does a better job of introducing players to what the definitions of terms are and what they do than what we see in the PHB (which, albeit is longer, to me does a better job than the Starter Set, as I originally posted).  I still feel that I might as well have just gotten everyone PHB's and it would have been easier to introduce them than what the Starter Set does.  As this thread shows, almost everyone disagrees, but I still don't understand why they view it this way.</blockquote>
