It does not contain the complete set of rules for the game, and only includes rules for use by players of the game. Many optional rules, such as those governing extremely high-level players, and some of the more obscure spells, are found in other sources. Since the first edition, [1] the Player's Handbook has contained tables and rules for creating characters, lists of the abilities of the different character classes , the properties and costs of equipment, descriptions of spells that magic -using character classes such as wizards or clerics can cast, and numerous other rules governing gameplay.
The first true Players Handbook was released in June, as a page hardcover. The original cover art was by D. Trampier , [5] who also provided interior illustrations along with David C. Sutherland III. The new rules were so open-ended that game campaigns required a referee or Dungeon Master.
The Players Handbook contained the information needed to play the standard character classes : clerics including druids , fighters including rangers and paladins , magic-users including illusionists , thieves including assassins , and monks.
Turnbull noted, "I don't think I have ever seen a product sell so quickly as did the Handbook when it first appeared on the Games Workshop stand at Dragonmeet", a British role-playing game convention; after the convention, he studied the book and concluded that "whereas the original rules are ambiguous and muddled, the Handbook is a detailed and coherent game-system, and very sophisticated.
In , TSR changed the cover art of the Players Handbook , although the interior contents remained the same. Numerous foreign editions of the Players Handbook were published, including versions for the United Kingdom, Australia, France, and Germany. Dealers continued to place orders for the 1st edition Players Handbook even after 2nd edition was released, causing the final printing to be in July , a year after the release of 2nd edition.

The third edition also dropped the word Advanced from the title, as the publisher decided to publish only one version of the game instead of both basic and advanced versions. Monte Cook , Jonathan Tweet , and Skip Williams all contributed to the 3rd edition Players Handbook , Dungeon Master's Guide , and Monster Manual , and then each designer wrote one of the books based on those contributions. The 3rd edition Player's Handbook also saw the return of half-orcs and monks to the core rules set, [19] along with some all-new classes.
The reviewer from Pyramid commented on the release of third edition, stating: "There's a lot to like about Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition as seen in the Player's Handbook. The new artwork is gorgeous and evocative, and in the pages of the main rulebook there's a lot of well-written and tightly packed rules.

Chuck Francisco of mania. There was something too generic and uninteresting about player characters which pervaded the system, especially in the wake of 3. In the process, 4e characters lost an indescribable crunchy feeling, but I'm pleased to say that it's been brought back for the newest installment of this venerated table top series.
Andrew Zimmerman Jones of Black Gate comments on the 5th edition Player's Handbook : "Their rules light approach make it a natural system for old fans to bring new players into the hobby, but even with this initial offering there are enough customization options to keep old school gamers happy playing with it.
