5E4B

5E4B is a term used in the context of the 5th Edition of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, commonly abbreviated as D&D 5E. The term itself is a shorthand for "Elemental Evil: Player's Companion," a supplement published by Wizards of the Coast. This book is part of the Elemental Evil series, which is set in the world of Tal'Dorei and focuses on the adventures of the party of adventurers known as the Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms.

The Elemental Evil series is notable for its focus on a dark and gritty tone, contrasting with the more lighthearted and fantastical elements of the main D&D campaign settings. The series introduces a new set of rules and mechanics, including the use of the 5E4B system, which is a simplified version of the 5th Edition rules designed to make gameplay more accessible for new players.

The 5E4B system includes a streamlined set of rules for character creation, combat, and adventure resolution. It also introduces new character options, such as the Elementalist, a class that allows players to manipulate the elements of the world. The series also features a new set of monsters and creatures, as well as a new campaign setting, the Sword Coast, which is a region of the Forgotten Realms that has been ravaged by the forces of elemental evil.

Overall, 5E4B is a valuable resource for D&D players looking to explore a new campaign setting and gameplay experience. Its simplified rules and dark tone make it an appealing choice for both new and experienced players alike.
