Dungeons & Dragons Xanathar's Guide to Everything

Really handy addition when used alongside core rulebooks. Would recommend to anyone looking to expand outside of the core set, but would wait until on sale or get a used version as is usually pricey due to being in less of a demand.

I brought this book as I wanted some more options for my classes and this book delivered just that. The new spells for classes has also allowed me and friends to play our characters more to what we envisioned when making them. The first 60 pages is just new subclasses and after that is material for helping you create your characters in more detail such as why your paladin became a paladin or where you character grew up etc.As a DM this book also offers some good variant rules and some easy tables to help create a balanced encounter for your party. The tables are a helpful tool that I honestly have used quite a lot in the short time I have had the book. The section on traps will also help you fill out dungeons to help them more alive in the world your party is exploring. There are also resources to help you with magic items (buying and selling) as well as other downtime activities for your party such as gambling.TLDR: Good book for both DM and players with lots of class options and things to make your DMing easier.

It arrived pretty fast and it is in good shape.

I got this for my partner for Christmas so I could use it 👀

Expansion volume for 5th edition D&D is a source of a slightly uneven additions to the core game.Like the Volo's Guide which it resembles, Xanathar's has sections for GMs (traps, rules, random encounters etc) and players (feats, spells, expanded archetypes) which is a slightly awkward design. Some elements of the Guide To Everything are not really useable for those who exclusively play rather than run games which makes it an uneconomic buy for some.Some of the sections, especially almost 20 pages of lists of names , are pure page fillers and a waste of space. The random encounter lists aren't much better, the more detailed versions in the Saltmarsh source book are much more useful.An obvious element to please GMs and players alike, new magic items , is rather ignored with a few light-hearted jokey items, like a cloak that billows heroically when worn, all that appear here. These are amusing ehough but actually paying for a rule book of this kind will probably mean the buyer is hoping for useable additions that will work when playing the game, not one off japes.The best....and worst....of the sections covers archetypes, new character class options in all but name, The Players Handbook takes care to make all the various classes detailed there to be as equal in power as possible. The Xanathar's Guide ignore this consideration completely. Comparing the Ranger variants here with the Warlock "Celestial" Patron option, the former is infinitely stronger in play than the latter. This, for me, is a failure in judgement, a GM will have to carefully consider which of these new class options to allow. Having said that, some of the new archetypes, especially the Rogues, are a great addition and an invitation to roll up a character different to but no more powerful than those in the core books.With less padding and more thought as to playability, this inventive, imaginative and well illustrated expansion book could have been indispensable for players of 5th edition, as it is it is a bit of a curate's (owlbear) egg.

I bought this for my D and D mad son, who loves it

In extremely good condition and arrived really quickly.Loads of useful options and alternative rules.Essential for a DM or Players arsenal.

It's for my grandson's Christmas

Ottimo libro

Super leuke toevoeging naast de PHB en DMG!

Nice expansion for those that want more background choices.But it has more then that , not recomended for new players.

Es simplemente uno de los mejores libro y para mi uno de los más importante ( quitando de la los tres principales ) ya que agremia mucho contenido ya sean más subclases o más ideas para la creación de personajes

Este livro é uma ótima adição para qualquer DM e jogador de D&D. Cheio de ideias e novas mecânicas, é praticamente indispensável para os grupos de jogadores que querem expandir as opções existentes. Além das novas subclasses, apresenta os Feat Raciais (que considero opções excelentes para personalizar ainda mais a raça do personagem), mecânicas interessantes para as tools e um guia mais fácil para se construir encontros. Além desses, tem muitas outras opções e tabelas.
