The definitive reference guide of Dungeons and Dragons core rules. Tired of hauling all of your D&D rules supplements to the gaming table? Having trouble finding the rule you need? The Rules Compendium supplement takes all of the game’s most important rules and presents them in a single comprehensive, easy-to-reference volume for players and Dungeon Masters. In addition to presenting the rules of the game, the Rules Compendium incorporates official errata as well as behind-the-scenes designer and developer commentary explaining how the rules system has evolved and why certain rules work the way they do. |

Who is This For?
If you are buying a Dungeons and Dragons product for a loved one, you might consider giving this if:
1.) If He is having trouble understanding how some of the more complicated rules of the game work (like attacks of opportunity), loses time searching through several books for a particular rule or is just curious as to how some of the Dungeons and Dragons rules came about.
2.) He or she is serving as a part-time or full time Dungeon Master. This book contains the rules only the DM should have access to. Players who have no interest in serving as a DM should not have access to this book.
3.) She is an accomplished Dungeons and Dragons DM in an earlier edition but is now looking to try out the 3.5 edition rules.
4.) He is new to Dungeons and Dragons and doesn’t have a group of players. Chances are he’ll have to be the DM when he brings his friends together to play. This would be a good purchase only if he expresses a willingness to be the DM.
Do not buy this if:
1.) She is certain she only wants to be a player. The role of DM is taxing and requires a lot of pre-game preparation and creativity. Many Dungeons and Dragons players live happy lives never touching the Rules Compendium.
2.) He is certain he wants to continue playing an earlier version of the Dungeons and Dragons game.
2.) She is still uncertain if she wants to continue playing the game or not.
