Format:Paperback
For those who need a little more detailed look at armor and how it was historically used, this is the book for you. With illustrations, and information for most items, and a larger table then found in the PHB. This book will give anyone that extra edge when describing there character.
If your into the historical usage of weapons and armor, and your trying to fit specific types of armor and weapons to a specific date or setting this will assist you as the DM.
I will only give this 4 of 5 stars because it lacks the extra knowledge I was seeking for new innovative items, a larger magical item extension, and campaign examples. Howerver, with all the information I would like the book would be a few hundred pages larger, and would sell for a much higher price. For it's worth, it's worth it's weight.

This book really helped me understand what was going on with armors, weapons, and clothing, as I really had NO idea what they looked like from the Players Handbook and Players Option: Combat and Tactics description, as well as help actually knowing what heads on polearms look like. If you plan to do ANY involved role-playing, with what your character's wearing and using, this aid is the absolute.
Format:Paperback
This books helps people understand what the armor or the weapon they have looks like. It also helps players expand there minds to what they would look like in battle.

A hot but esquisit book known to mankind. Bad drawings!
One of those baby-books compared to all the other ADND books.

I appreciate this book for more for the historical information provided in this book than for the rules; that's why it rates a four. Read more

The ultimate resource for AD&D
