Ive read everywhere about it and cant decide if i should get the Players handbook or that. I know I should get the players handbook no matter what but as it stands should I just go with the Heroes first and get the PH later? Or not get the Heroes at all? Basically; do I need te Heroes if I have the PH?

Personally, I'd grab the Player's Handbook first, and just use this racial ability score updates article to supplement it. The lack of updated racial stat spreads is the only true benefit the Heroes books has over the original Players Handbook. Happy Gaming
