# World of Warcraft’s D&D crossover is neat, but inconsistent—novel on one page, then shrugging and pointing to the PHB you already own on the next

## Key points

- The crossover offers some strong, distinctive character options.
- Several classes and races rely heavily on existing D&D rules.
- Its gathering and crafting systems may suit other campaigns too.

## Summary

A new World of Warcraft and Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook offers some imaginative character options, but its quality varies sharply. The review finds that some classes and races receive tailored rules, while others mostly reuse existing D&D material, making the crossover feel uneven.

The Death Knight gets substantial changes to the Paladin template, while options such as Divine Shield may be overpowered. Rogues gain little beyond a revised Swashbuckler, and Shamans are built around the Barbarian despite some specialisations being spellcasters in World of Warcraft. The reviewer also praises bespoke options for Dracthyr and Void Elves, and singles out the book’s gathering and crafting rules as useful beyond World of Warcraft campaigns.
