What's Inside the Core Gameplay Expansion

The 300-page core book serves as the flagship release for D&D's new "Universes Beyond" initiative, adapting the world of Warcraft into the updated 2024 5th Edition ruleset. Inside, players will find complete character creation options spanning all 13 World of Warcraft classes, recreated through custom "Class Skins" and more than 40 specializations. The book introduces six brand-new subclasses alongside three refreshed archetypes, allowing you to play as an Oath of the Ebon Blade Paladin, a high-mobility Demon Hunter Ranger, a Shadow Domain Cleric, or a Path of the Elements Barbarian.

Character origins are equally rich, featuring 16 playable species. You can create heroes using 11 brand-new options—including Dracthyr, Draenei, Earthen, Forsaken, Haranir, Mechagnomes, Pandaren, Tauren, Trolls, Vulpera, and Worgen—or select from updated takes on classic D&D species like Orcs, Humans, and Elves. Your choice of species ties directly into a new 23-faction reputation system, letting your party earn standing, unique rewards, and allies with Horde, Alliance, or neutral factions as you travel across Azeroth.

To make combat and exploration feel authentically Warcraft, the book includes over 60 iconic spells like Moonfire and Rune Strike, more than 30 new magic items, collectible mounts, and companion pets. Adventurers can also spend downtime utilizing a 10-profession crafting system to forge equipment, prepare potions, and tinker with engineering devices. For Dungeon Masters, the core book provides over 50 monster stat blocks, 30 boss fights, and seven classic dungeons completely rebuilt for tabletop play, including fan favorites like the Deadmines, Scarlet Monastery, Onyxia's Lair, and Shadowfang Keep.

Endgame Raiding: Icecrown Citadel Companion Adventure

For gaming groups seeking a true endgame challenge, Wizards of the Coast and Blizzard are releasing the Icecrown Citadel Map Pack and Digital Adventure alongside the main book. Designed specifically for high-level characters spanning levels 16 to 20, this five-chapter digital campaign takes parties through ten iconic boss encounters straight up to the Frozen Throne to face the Lich King.

The physical map pack complements the digital adventure with five double-sided poster maps and two token sheets featuring 74 punch-out tokens to populate your battlegrids. Along the way, players can uncover 16 legendary artifact items, including the iconic runeblade Frostmourne and the death-charger Invincible. Whether you fight for the Horde or the Alliance, Azeroth's grandest tabletop chapter is about to begin!
