I am very impressed with it. I was not really looking for anything like Weapon Masteries, but I like the additional options they provide. I like the attempt to use saving throws in a more coherent and consistent way. The use of language in the book is economical and precise, yet evocative and fun to read. It's obvious the game is a refinement culling from the experience of thousands of players over the past decade. And the 2014 version was a version itself developed and iterated upon drawing from the previous forty years of experience.I met a new player looking for a group the other night and I found myself enthusiastic in sharing the new PHB with her. It is fun for me to have this kind of enthusiasm for the revision given that my first reaction to the announcement of One D&D was disappointment. I am glad that they kept the core rules and merely made revisions, streamlining changes, and improvements.No doubt others will disagree, especially here at ENWorld; nevertheless, having just finished using it this past weekend, I thought I would direct a little love toward the book and the approach taken for the revisions in general.</blockquote>
