D&D Player’s Handbook (Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook) 

Welcome to the World of Dungeons & Dragons

The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game is about collaborative storytelling in worlds of swords and sorcery. Like games of make-believe, D&D is driven by imagination. It’s about picturing a crumbling castle in a darkening forest and imagining how a fantasy adventurer might react to the challenges that scene presents.

This book will be your guide to character creation and advance­ment, your reference for spells and equipment, and a constant com­panion at your table for looking up just how many beams of eldritch blast you can shoot this time.

Explore ancient ruins and deadly dungeons. Battle monsters while searching for legendary treasures. Gain experience and power as you trek across uncharted lands with your companions.

The world needs heroes. Will you answer the call?

• BUILD YOUR CHARACTER: This rule book gives you all you need to build your D&D characters, outlines the rules for roleplaying and combat as well as giving a directory of over 350 spells with descriptions and illustrations.
• CREATE INFINITE CHARACTERS: Whether you’re creating an elvish cleric, driven from society for trespassing on tradition, a dwarven paladin, atoning for an dubious past, the Player’s Handbook provides the skeleton for your characters.
• ESSENTIAL TOOLS: The Player’s Handbook is one of the three main Dungeons & Dragons books, along with the Monster Manual and the Dungeon Master’s Guide. The Player’s Handbook is the cornerstone. It’s the foundational text of D&D’s Fifth edition—for beginners and for veterans alike.
• UNLEASH YOUR IMAGINATION: Dungeons & Dragons is a cooperative storytelling game that harnesses your imagination and invites you to explore a fantastic world of adventure, where heroes battle monsters, find treasures, and overcome quests.
