In this video, I flick through the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Player’s Handbook, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2008. Often debated by fans, 4e introduced bold changes to classes, powers, and combat—aiming for balance and tactical depth. Love it or hate it, this edition left a big mark on the game’s history. Join me as I explore the layout, mechanics, and legacy of one of D&D’s most talked-about handbooks.

THE WORLD NEEDS HEROES.
In a fantastic world of magic and monsters, a new age of adventure unfolds. This core rulebook for the Dungeons & Dragons® Roleplaying Game provides everything players need to create and run heroic characters through legendary dungeons of dread.

The Player's Handbook® features the 4th edition game rules, including character creation, combat and adventuring, classes and races, equipment and magic items, skills, feats, powers, and more.
