Introduction

Get ready for the next level!

Player’s Handbook 2 is the most significant expan-

sion yet to the 4th Edition DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ®

game. The Player’s Handbook ® presents eight races and

eight classes. This book introduces five more races

and eight more classes, including a mix of all-new

material and some old favorites, along with a wealth

of new options for any character.

Chapter 1 presents five additional races. The

gnome and the shifter make the journey from the

Monster Manual ® to this book. The goliath (introduced

in 2004’s Races of Stone ) and the half-orc return to

the D&D ® game in updated form. Devas are a new

race of reincarnated immortal spirits striving for the

perfection of their souls. This chapter also includes

racial paragon paths for the races in this book as well

as ones in the Player’s Handbook.

Chapter 2 is the heart of the book, with eight new

classes. Longtime D&D players will recognize some

of these classes from past editions, but you’ve never

seen them presented like this before. The arcane

classes expand to include the bard and the sorcerer.

The invoker and the avenger join the roster of divine

classes. The primal power source makes its debut

with classes of all four roles: the barbarian, the druid,

the shaman, and the warden. The chapter ends with

six new epic destinies.

Chapter 3 introduces the concept of backgrounds,

a new game element you can use to customize your

character and help expand his or her personality

and history. If you’re using the F ORGOTTEN R EALMS

Player’s Guide, you’re familiar with the idea of choos-

ing a home region for your character and gaining

a benefit from that origin. The backgrounds in this

chapter offer you dozens of ideas for expanding your

character’s story, and a choice of related benefits.

This chapter also includes new feats, equipment, and

magic items, including armor, weapons, and imple-

ments designed for use with the new classes in this

book. The chapter ends with a group of new rituals.

At the end of the book is an important appendix

of rule updates. It contains an updated explana-

tion of how to read a power description, including

new rules that apply to many of the powers in this

book—in particular, rules about keywords such as

beast form, spirit, and summoning. The appendix

also contains the new version of the Stealth skill as

well as updates to rules related to that skill in the

Player’s Handbook .

The D&D game is constantly evolving. Player’s

Handbook 2 is the second book in a series that will

continue adding new options for your characters

for years to come. But the game changes in smaller

ways as well, and the best way to keep up with those

changes is to visit the Wizards of the Coast website.

YOUR PART IN THE STORY

One of the Dungeon Master’s jobs is to be a narrator—

to describe what’s going on in the world of the game as

you explore it along with your fellow adventurers. When

your party enters a room, the DM tells you what it looks

like and what’s in it. However, narration isn’t exclusively

the DM’s job: You describe your own character’s actions,

and even during an intense combat encounter, you have

a chance to take part in telling the story of the game.

The flavor text included in every power description is

a starting point you can use when narrating your part in

the action. When your barbarian attacks, you can just say,

“Krusk uses howling strike . I get a 24.” Or using the flavor

text as a cue, you can say, “With a blood-freezing scream,

I throw myself into the fray! Does a 24 hit?”

A power’s flavor text is only a starting point. You can

modify that flavor however you like, as long as you don’t

change the power’s game effects. Maybe you would rather

think of the barbarian power macetail’s rage as channel-

ing the World Serpent, a primal spirit that appears in

some shaman powers. You might say, “The earth shakes

beneath my feet as the World Serpent stirs, knocking my

foe to the ground!”

Choosing a background for your character can also be

a great opportunity to take part in shaping the story of the

game. After you’ve looked at the “Backgrounds” section

of Chapter 3, talk with your DM about the background

elements you want for your character.

The D&D game is all about telling an adventure story.

If you take a more active part in telling your character’s

part of the story, everyone has more fun.
