Since the first edition, 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. Both the "Dungeon Master's Guide" and the "Player's Handbook" give advice, tips, and suggestions for various styles of play. The "Player's Handbook", "Dungeon Master's Guide", and "Monster Manual" make up the core "D&D" rulebooks.
