* The Player's Handbook is the first of three D&D core rulebooks, 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.

* The Player's Handbook walks you through how to create a Dungeons & Dragons character--the role you'll play in the D&D world.
