Dungeons & Dragons – Player’s Handbook 2024

The single most important book at any table, revised and bigger than ever. This 384-page hardcover core rulebook rebuilds character creation, exploration, combat, equipment and spellcasting on ten years of feedback from the D&D community cover-to-cover new artwork included. Roll up a hero, gather your companions and go looking for trouble.

What’s changed

• Twelve classes and 48 subclasses, several Monk and Ranger among them substantially reworked
• Ten species to choose from, including new options in Aasimar, Goliath and Orc, plus a revised Human
• Ability score increases now come from your background rather than your species, for more flexible builds
• A new Weapon Masteries system gives every weapon a unique combat trait think toppling foes or cleaving through a crowd

Best for

• Anyone starting fresh with fifth edition’s 2024 rules
• Existing groups upgrading from the 2014 core books

Whether it’s your first character or your fiftieth, this is the book you’ll keep within arm’s reach every single session.
