Player's Guide to Faerûn

Great stuff for those looking for a lot flavour and information on the Realms. It offers ideas and background feats to flesh out a character's back story.

Other extra stuff, the typical stuff, include more of the Realms' pantheons, its cosmology, prestige classes (a couple more suited to NPCs), feats, spells, and magic items.

There are also sections that provide upgraded stat blocks of monsters from other older publications, as well as rules and options for the adaptation of material from books from the Psionic's Handbook, Book of Exalted Deeds, and Book of Vile Deeds.

All in all, a book full of flavour, history, and hooks into the Realms.
