Swapping Roles Playing a character and being the Dungeon Master aren’t permanent roles. Trading places is easy. Whenever you begin play or whenever the Player Characters decide to leave one of the
adventure’s three settings—the Caves of Chaos, the Keep on the Borderlands, or the Wilderness—determine who will be the DM for the upcoming section. The previous DM can either make a new character of a level equal to the other characters or play as the new DM's now-available character.

Saving Throw A saving throw—also called a save—represents an attempt to avoid or resist a threat. You normally make a saving throw only when a rule requires you to do so, but you can decide to fail
the save without rolling. The result of a save is detailed in the effect that allowed it. If a target is forced to make a save and lacks the ability score used by it, the target automatically fails. See also chapter 1 (“D20 Tests”).
