I'm new to the game and I'd like some simple explanations on the classes, races, and what each dice does, please. I hope I'm not asking much.

I'm new to the game too but I've found a few campaigns to watch that actually explain it really well. Like D&D with high school students. https://youtu.be/52NJTUDokyk He explains how to make characters and different classes/races in the 2nd season.

Thank you! I'll get right to watching it!

Yeah, if you can't afford the books (* cough * me * cough *), Youtube is your friend.
I also like Critical Role, but they have lengthy Youtube episodes…

For books you can just look up insert book title pdf it’s illegal but oh well

I use this site to access the player handbook. It should explain all of the stuff pretty well that you’re asking about, especially race and class.
As for the dice, idk everything but:

• d20 is used for skill checks
• d6 is used to roll stats
• d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 are the dice usually used for damage rolls- it varies by weapon/magic attack which one you use.
• I think d8 or d10 is usually your hit die (used to calculate hp)

Feel free to correct or contribute to what I said
