Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sword of Spirit" data-source="post: 6127014" data-attributes="member: 6677017">The basic game will have the core 4 classes and races.Each class will have a single build, and it won't be specified as a specific build, it will just be "fighter" or "cleric." The builds in basic are valid options that will also be found amongst the larger set of options in standard.They may or may not offer subraces--I'm going to say 5:3 odds against. Your character will still have a subrace, and when you grab the standard PHB and look at his stats you'll be able to tell what his subrace was, but it's quite likely the basic version won't tell you you are a hill dwarf, if will just say "dwarf."It will use the minimum modules (so that means no modules for any area of the game where you don't have to pick one), and all module choices will be to give the most iconic flavor to the game. No skills, no feats.The majority of the level appropriate spells and monsters will be included (although some of the less iconic monsters aren't going to make the Basic cut).They've mentioned it will probably only go to level 10, but that's fine, because you can literally play the basic game straight out of the standard books (and thus go all the way to 20 if you want), it's just that the basic game pre-selects from the standard game's options and doesn't offer the others.It will come in a Red Box, because why not?  I'm hoping for some dice and miniatures, but I don't know if I'll get those.I'm probably going to end up playing standard with select advanced modules, but you can bet I'm going to be buying that Red Box too. Great way to introduce people to D&D, and great for nostalgia factor for many established players.</blockquote>
