Dungeons and Dragons Core Rulebook 1 Players Handbook

The core rulebook for players of Dungeons & Dragons, in its revised third edition. It explains how to create a character by choosing a race and class, then developing that character through skills, feats and equipment. It also covers the d20 system used to resolve actions, the rules for combat and spellcasting, and the magic that adventurers use. Used alongside the Dungeon Master's guide, it gives players what they need to take part in the game.
