HITROLL DAMROLL SAVES
 
HITROLL:  You will find that many items add or subtract from your 'hitroll'.
This is a measure of your accuracy in combat.  A high hitroll will aid you in
bypassing an opponents armor, defenses and hit more frequently.  In addition
to items, your strength will affect hitroll as well.
 
DAMROLL:  In addition to hitroll, some items often affect damroll as well.
This is a measure of how much damage your attacks inflict.  Your hitroll will
be added to your weapon's damage to determine your total damage.  Things such
as certain spells, abilities, and armor class will increase or decrease the
amount of damage that you will deal.
 
SAVES:  Sort of an AC against spells, saves will prevent or reduce the effects
of spell cast upon you by an opponent.  Saves begin in the positive and go down
as they improve so it is beneficial for your saves to be as far into the negatives
as possible in each of the four categories.
