Hi, I'm a new player who has always wanted to get into D & D. I just bought the "Wrath of Ashardalon" and although I havent played it yet, it sounds amazing. I am a little overwhelmed as it is so technical. Can someone explain to me exactly how a typical attack works, with reference to the hero & monster cards numbers, like the HP and so forth?
    Do you just roll the dice, add the attack bonus (on your card?)..to the dice number, & then see if its a hit? And if so, how do you know how much damage to deduct from the monster?, adn where is that information recorded so it can be looked upon later on?
    Thanks for any help, & sorry for the crazy question, just it was so much info to try to take in. With a job & 3 kids my time is limited lol.
