The fourth edition of the Dungeons & Dragons core rulebooks includes the Player’s Handbook, the Dungeon Master’s Guide, the Monster Manual, and the D&D Starter Set.
Player’s Handbook: all the rules every player needs to create a character, pick equipment, and do battle with all kinds of supernatural creatures and mysterious enemies, including race descriptions, classes, skills, the spell/arcane rules system, and everything you need to know to build a character sheet.
Monster Manual: a book both players and Dungeon Masters need. It contains hundreds of monsters found in dungeons of every level, plus rules for creating monsters, playing monsters, monster tactics, and advanced versions of the various common monsters.
Dungeon Master’s Guide: this is the DM’s reference book, giving DMs all sorts of ideas and material for creating challenges, adventures, or a complete D&D campaign setting, including prestige classes, magic items, and rewards for characters.
D&D Starter Set: a thoughtful kit for beginners. Just a 16-page D&D 4.0 starter rulebook to get players into the game fast, exploring dungeons with friends, battling monsters, and hauling treasure back home! A 64-page Dungeon Master’s starter book, the basic toolkit for building a game — build your own dungeon and send your friends up against monsters and villains!
