I'm running Lost Mines at the moment using the official module, so all the creature stats etc are available. If I were to buy the DM Guide and Players Handbook, what advantages would these give me if I were only going to play paid for official modules, such as Horde Of The Dragon Queen, Out Of The Abyss etc? EDIT: Monster Manual as well... Also, if I buy the Players Handbook, are my friends able to gain access to all the extras when creating characters within games that I'm running? Or will they need to buy their own copy?
