New core rulebooks are coming to Dungeons & Dragons, but they are intended as a celebration of the game's popular 5th edition ruleset instead of a replacement. Two years ago, Wizards of the Coast announced"One D&D," a new plan to rework Dungeons & Dragons with centered around a heavily reworked ruleset for the game and a new Virtual Tabletop system that would synergize with D&D Beyond to streamline digital gameplay.
"Several years ago, we felt that the best way to celebrate 50 years of D&D was to return to the core books themselves, really the foundation of the entire game, and lovingly go through every piece of these books and incorporate all the lessons we've learned over the past decade and really make the best versions of these books that we could make," Jeremy Crawford, game director for Dungeons & Dragons said during a recent press conference.
Although longtime D&D fans might not find many surprises within the Player's Handbook, a major change to the book is in its format and style. The first chapter, for instance, provides an example of gameplay that condenses all the basic rules of the game into a single example, with highlights used to both demonstrate and elaborate on key components to the rules.
The Player's Handbook will also include 48 subclasses , the most to appear in any single D&D rulebook. All of the 2014 Player's Handbook subclasses return, but 16 subclasses have been"revamped to the point of being new" as part of an attempt to rebalance certain classes to make them more impactful. 15 of the 48 subclasses are brand new to the Player's Handbook, many of which were pulled from other expansion-style books from 5th Edition and then reworked.
