The Complete Classic Fantasy Game in One Book

The Classic Fantasy Rules Tome is a complete game with the following content:

• Character options: Seven classic classes (cleric, dwarf, elf, fighter, halfling, magic-user, thief), complete lists of weapons and adventuring gear, extensive lists of vehicles, mounts, and vessels, mercenaries and specialists for hire, rules for stronghold construction.
• Spells: The complete set of 34 cleric spells (from 1st to 5th level) and 72 magic-user spells (from 1st to 6th level), for use by players of cleric, elf, and magic-user characters.
• Adventuring rules: Full rules for adventuring in dungeons, the wilderness, and at sea, as well as guidelines for designing and running adventures.
