The first of three core rulebooks for the 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons® Roleplaying Game. The Dungeons and Dragons Roleplaying Game has defined the medieval fantasy genre and the tabletop RPG industry for more than 30 years. In the Dungeons and Dragons game, players create characters that band together to explore dungeons, slay monsters, and find treasure. The 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons rules offer the best possible play experience by presenting exciting character options, an elegant and robust rules system, and handy storytelling tools for the Dungeon Master. The Player’s Handbook presents the official Dungeons and Dragons Roleplaying Game rules as well as everything a player needs to create Dungeons and Dragons characters worthy of song and legend: new character races, base classes, paragon paths, epic destinies, powers, more magic items, weapons, armor, and much more. |

Who is This For?
If you are buying a Dungeons and Dragons product for a loved one, you might consider giving this if:
1.) He or she is an absolute beginner to the game. Every player, including the DM needs to have their own copy of this book. It is the one referred to time and time again in the midst of the game. When two or more people have to share the same book, it tends to slow down the game, especially the fight scenes which is deadly to the enjoyment of the game.
2.) She is an accomplished Dungeons and Dragons player in an earlier edition but is now looking to try out the 4th edition rules. The have changed substantially and are needed if she’s to participate in the online component.
3.) He is frequently a DM and he finds himself having to loan out his Player’s Handbook to a fellow player repeatedly. DMs need to have their own copy of the Player’s Handbook and lending it out slows the game down. Sometimes a back-up copy is worth its weight in gold.
Do not buy this if:
1.) He is still uncertain if he wants to continue playing the game or not.
2.) She has two or more copies of the Player’s Handbook. Unless she specifically states she needs yet another copy, a third or fourth copy isn’t worth the money. Try the Dungeons and Dragons Character Record Sheets — 4th Edition
