Does anyone know from where I can access a full, thorough glossary of the offical terms used within Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 3d Edition, upon which Neverwinter Nights is strictly based? I couldn't seem to find just exactly that by Google-searching--in fact, it seemed that I was finding about everything but that! Hence my asking for this help here.

Online, such as a web-page/-site; in .PDF; whatever....

Please help!

Thanks much in advance!

If by any chance you have Temple of Elemental Evil, it contains the rule books in a hyperlink-filled help guide. It's the best guide I've ever seen.

The manual (in pdf format -- should be available for download from GOG) has a lot of good information, too. A read through that would probably be qutie helpful.

This is also a handy site: http://www.d20srd.org/

Otherwise, if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask them and we'll answer them.
ToEE uses the 3.5 rules, while NWN is based on the 3.0 rule set (although the 3.0 rules were in development at the time NWN was being made as well). Still, it's closer to 3.0 than 3.5.

3.0 rules SRD.
You may just want to use one of the sources for nwn.

Thanks for the answers!

That Hypertexted d20 System Reference Document is very good, except for it being for a 3.5 Edition Rules game and not actually for the 3d Edition Rules. OTOH, it might be very handy when I go to play The Temple of Elemental Evil later.

I also like that Dragon.ee SRD for 3d Edition Rules. I intend to have a more thorough look at that later.

Eeh, I didn't very much like that Wiki so much, even though I love Neverwinter Nights. It seemed more filled with fan-stuff than any of the Pro-like Official stuff. For example, I tried to look up Fortitude in it and got just a blank page where no one had bothered to fill that in. But the irony of that someone could summon the wherewithal to create like an entry for Noob both stung my brain and also made me wanna laugh my ass off all at the same time. Eeh, I'm looking for the REAL, official stuff right now, but thanks much anyway.

Though that Dragon.ee SRD may nearly be what I originally had in mind, this is the sort of thing I was hoping to find:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19002945/Pool%20of%20Radiance%20Manual.pdf

That's the Manual for the very first AD&D Forgotten Realms cRPG Pool of Radiance. Take notice of how virtually all of that manual is written much like a glossary--it's very straightforward, very easy to read, even as a work of reference, and hence makes it very easy to learn all that stuff in there, or at least quickly reference it in a jiffy. But of course, being an older Edition of AD&D Rules, it applies to Neverwinter Nights only but somewhat.

And BTW, could someone please tell me about Fortitude? I'd really like to know all about Fortitude but couldn't actually find an entry about it specifically on the Dragon.ee SRD.

Fortitude is one of the three saves a character may have to make at any given time. It's based on your character's level, class(es), and Constitution score. Actually, there's a fairly decent explanation Here, with a hyperlink to a good explanation of saving throws in general.

Ooo, thanks! Looks like someone maybe just put that in there recently! And very well, too! Now THAT'S how Wikis should be written and done! (And I didn't know to look for the Fortitude under Saving Throws on that Dragon.ee SRD, heh.) Much thanks to whomever entered that there as that is an excellent entry: short, sweet, and simple, while also being straightforward and very comprehensive of that particular subject-heading hehehe

Somebody should like similarly fill-in all the other things just like in the way that one is done hehehe
