Summary: Fogotten Realms Player's Handbook
Comment: I think that overall this is a GREAT product. It has a lot of very good information. I am not familiar at all with the old 3.5 FR setting, so there was no adjustment period to me. I bought this to run my first game in years, so I am pretty excited and am glad this information covered so much for me!!!

Summary: Players Guide for Forgotten Realms
Comment: A must have for playing in the Living Forgotten Realms. Swordmages are pretty dang cool. Much more helpful than the DM's guide. Some extra feats for core book characters, so at least another staple to have on the shelf.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lots of crunch. Little fluff
Comment: The player's guide is the second part of WOTC's re-introduction of the Forgotten Realms. It follows their new marketing paradigm...lots of mechanics, but little substance and flavor. Granted this book is for the players. The GM is recommended to buy the Campaign Setting. The mechanics are good. I like 4e mechanics, but I am not a fan of the big font, white spaces, and low page count in these books.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A good addition to any D&D 4e game
Comment: I wasn't really sure whether I wanted to buy this book, since I have never run or played in a Forgotten Realms campaign. However, after previewing the book at a local store, I decided that the book had enough generic or easily-adaptable material to enrich my homebrew campaign. About 1/3 of the book provides a player's-eye "tour" of the various regions within the Forgotten Realms. This information is indispensable if you're playing in the (4e) Realms. The new classes -- swordmage, and the dark pact for warlocks -- and races -- drow and genasi -- can easily be incorporated into any campaign setting, as can at least half of the paragon paths, feats, and rituals. A subscription to D&D Insider will get you the same information in the D&D Compendium, but I like having physical books on my shelf as well. A must-have for playing in the Realms; nice to have for other D&D campaigns.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Supplement
Comment: This is a good supplement. The new Swordmage class, as well as the Drow and Genasi races, make it worth the money spent. Also some of the feats are pretty good as well. Nice addition to any D&D campaign even if you are playing in the Forgotten Realms.

The complete guide for building Forgotten Realms characters!
Welcome to Faerûn, a land of amazing magic, terrifying monsters, ancient ruins, and hidden wonders. The world has changed since the Spellplague, and from this arcane crucible have emerged shining kingdoms, tyrannical empires, mighty heroes, and monster-infested dungeons.
The Forgotten Realms Player's Guide presents this changed world from the point of view of the adventurers exploring it. This product includes everything a player needs to create his character for a D&D campaign in the Forgotten Realms setting, including new feats, new character powers, new paragon paths and epic destinies, and even a brand-new character class never before seen in D&D: the swordmage!
