From publisher blurb: The B/X Essentials line is a restatement of the classic Basic/Expert fantasy adventure gaming rule set, given a fresh, new presentation focused on usability: Basic and Expert rules seamlessly combined. Streamlined presentation optimised for ease of reference during play. Meticulously researched; a guaranteed 100% accurate rendition of the classic rules of yesteryear. Carefully clarified, ironing out ambiguities in the original rules. This second book lays out the standard classes of adventurer and the ways in which characters can spend their hard-earned treasure, including: arms, adventuring gear, mounts, sea vessels, mercenaries, specialists, and (eventually!) castles and strongholds.
