D&D 5th Edition Simulation Engine

A comprehensive simulation engine implementing D&D 5th Edition rules with multiple interface options.

🏗️ Architecture

This project uses dnd-5e-core package for all D&D 5e game logic. Most games import from dnd-5e-core for entities, combat, spells, equipment, etc.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE_JEUX.md for detailed architecture documentation.
