The Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition Player’s Handbook (PHB) is the foundational document for player-facing rules used in Oath-Bound. This website exists because of the quality of that work. The debt is acknowledged without reservation.

Additional design contributions to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) 1st Edition: Dave Arneson, Rob Kuntz, Brian Blume, Tim Kask, and the broader TSR, Inc. team of the 1970s.
