4.5 Nuts
Full on nerd out continues. After finally giving up on the starter set I finally went for the full monty and got the Player’s Handbook.
This book is a must have for anyone serious about getting into D&D. For one it has all the rules for creating a new character, which is most important. I don’t know about you, but I think premade characters suck. There’s something about rolling up the character yourself and deciding on traits and such.
Second this book has all the rules for play. All. Of. Them. Not just the basics. Screw that tiny little starter guide.
Third this handbook has all the items and spells you could want, and they’re pretty epic.
But my favorite part of the Player’s Handbook is all the gorgeous art throughout this book. Seriously, the detail on this stuff is incredible and I love to just sit and flip through it.
If you’re just a casual D&Der you can probably just borrow a friend’s or your DM’s book ( they should have one). This book is pretty pricey. But in my opinion it’s totally worth it.
