Legendary Player Characters

Legendary creatures is often a term you will see a lot when it comes to homebrew creatures or high level creatures in general, it's a way for solo creatures to survive against the action onslaught that groups of players will output against them.

So what's the point of Legendary Player Characters then? Players are not the ones who need these kinds of features, and is it really just giving them legendary actions? That's kind of boring... Well no.

This document is not geared towards the traditional D&D party style game, and it contains far more than just giving players legendary actions.

Solo Games

What is a solo game exactly? It's really simple. It's a game where there are only two people, the DM and the player. These types of games are typically best done over text but it's still more than possible in a traditional voice or in person style game.

Solo games can be a lot of fun if they are your style because it allows both the DM and player to truly go free with whatever style they are both comfortable with, and it's of course much easier to schedule.

For me personally I play in solo games practically every day with my boyfriend and we are both huge fans of them... However there is a drastic problem with them that this document is attempting to fix: D&D is not meant to be played like this.

D&D was built and balanced around having a party setting, which is of course fine but for those of us who want to play solo games it's incredibly punishing because even high level player characters could end up dying to a group of four low CR creatures.

This document is largely meant to be used in solo games, it's what I am assuming for the entire document. If you want to use this in a full on party setting..? You certainly can but I personally think it's a poor idea, as this document removes a lot of party/team based features and it is also just a drastic power increase.

Being a Legendary Character

Being Legendary is obviously a special thing that not everyone has, otherwise it wouldn't be legendary. Regardless of what level your character starts at, whether it's level 1 or 15, they have a trait beyond their normal power that has given them these legendary capabilities.

Maybe your characters resolve is inhuman and your determination caused you to achieve these legendary levels, or you're the result of a selective breeding attempt in order to create a legendary creature... Nonetheless, you should consider how and why your character is legendary.

The Changes

So what does this document change exactly? Well for starters, there are general changes that apply to every class or a large group of classes, those changes can be found below in this section.

• Each class will receive encompassing changes, such as increased HP/Hit dice, General Legendary Actions, Legendary Resistances, and other odd things.

• In addition to the previously mentioned material, you will find a new thing called Legendary Feats. Legendary Feats are basically Feats that are significantly stronger than normal, and can only be taken when the character taking it is a Legendary Player Character. As a DM using this document, you could also apply legendary feats to legendary creatures if you so wish. There is also another tier called Mythic Feats that are only obtainable at level 20.

• New mechanics called Auric Emotions and Signs of Labors.

• Additionally, every class is receiving specific changes to their features, changing things that are team/party based and buffing features thats numbers would become too weak with this document. Each class also has legendary actions that you can only take if you are that class.

Future Classes

This document currently contains only official classes, however that is subject to change. If you are a homebrew creator and wish to add a level of Legendary attributes to your class, feel free to reach out to me on discord (Linked in final page) or on reddit at u/Zellorea

I am completely willing to discusss and work out how we could add your class to this document. If your class ends up added to this document (Not all who reach out will) you will be credited completely for the classes creation (With a link to the PDF in its section) and we will work together completely to make sure that your classes Legendary status is properly realized.

I may refuse a class to be added here if I believe it's currently in a too unbalanced and overpowered state even for regular play, or for just another reason.

Legendary Actions/Arts

Before getting into any class specifics or even legendary feats, we must discuss legendary actions. Legendary actions are a special type of action that allows a single creature to better survive action economy when they are outnumbered.

A legendary action may only be spent at the end of another creatures turn, to perform one of various actions you may have available to yourself, which are known as Legendary Arts. All expended legendary actions are recovered at the start of your turn.

• At 5th level every character gains their first legendary action and they learn 3 Legendary arts that they can expend this Legendary action to take.

• At 11th level every character gains their second legendary action and learns 1 more Legendary art.

• At 17th level every character gains their third legendary action and learns 1 more Legendary art.

• At 23rd level every character gains their fourth legendary action and learns 1 more Legendary art.

• At 29th level every character gains their fifth and final legendary action and learns 1 more Legendary art.

The number of legendary actions you may take per round is determined by your total level, not your individual class level. You can be as spread thin as possible in a multiclass and still be able to take the same amount of legendary actions per round as someone who has all levels in one class.

Upon gaining a level, you may exchange one legendary art you know for another you meet the prerequisites for. On this page is a list of legendary arts you may take regardless of your class.

For class specific legendary arts, you must meet the level in the appropriate class to take it (So for example, you couldn't take a Barbarian legendary art until you're level 5, in which case you can only take the ones that require 1 action, even if you have more actions)

Classes and Legendary Arts

Each class is balanced in a unique way towards the later levels, while Fighter and Monk specialize in doing a lot of low damage attacks-classes like Paladin and Rogue focus on a low amount of high damage attacks.

Needless to say, legendary arts such as Strike and Whirlwind are much stronger for the 'low amount of high damage attacks' classes.

As a DM you may consider this optional feature to smooth out the balance-however it is completely optional and I'd advise against employing it since it detracts from the power fantasy this document is supposed to bring.

Fatigue. Legendary arts that involve weapon attacks only apply damage from the weapon itself and your ability modifier, not any outside sources from class features (Such as Divine smite)

Normal Feats

Due to the higher power level of LPC, many base feats just don't cut it anymore... These feats are still weaker than Legendary feats, but stronger than the base versions.

Every feat found within the Players Handbook can be found here, however each one has received adjustments from myself in order to be stronger and better working for a solo setting.

Some adjustments are far bigger than others. Some feats have received entire reworks, while some only received very minor changes. Regardless, every feat is different in some way.

Please do keep in mind that if you do not see a feat here, that does not mean you can't use it. You can use any homebrew or officially published feat your DM allows, this is simply for the feats I have decided to give my own versions for.

Legendary Feats

Legendary feats are a tier of feats beyond the normal ones, and are significantly stronger than their base counterparts. Some require having existing regular feats in order to take, some are direct upgrades to existing feats and can be taken separately, and some are entirely new and unaffiliated with base feats.

Legendary feats can only be taken when your character levels up and receives a Legendary Ability Score Improvement. Every class earns at least two of these, and the level in particular they earn them on depends on the class. If you are using a class that has received a full 1-30 Legendary update, then they receive these special feats a third time.

The level a class earns each of their legendary feats is specified in the classes section.

Legendary Races

Base races in 5e are overall good but there is one big problem that they have... They combine the biology and culture into one. Say you tried to make a Dwarf who had never interacted with other dwarves, they were raised by humans...

Well that character would still have the dwarven weapon training feature, and know the darvish language. It just doesn't make sense, does it?

With that said it is important to keep in mind that this is a part of the legendary player characters system for 5e, meaning that this is more geared towards solo play. Every single race is stronger than normal, and there are many more races of varying power levels too.

Not every race will be as strong as the other, some are intentionally stronger simply because that makes sense. It is unadvised that you use this for traditional group play, and if you were to, every player should be using it. Even then, since not all the races are made equally you should expect some power differences.

Choice Suggestions

I'm a big advocate for choice and customizability in 5e, I love making my classes with that in mind and of course that'll spill over to this racial system.

However for those of you who still like

Suggested ASI. This will be the suggested ability score improvements for the race, despite these being suggestions however you can do whatever you want within its stipulations. Say a race suggests a +2 Dexterity and +1 Intelligence, you could make it +2 Charisma and +1 Strength no problem, the former is merely suggestions.

Suggested Languages. This will be the races suggested languages, typically common and one or two other languages dependent on the race itself. Despite these suggestions, you can choose whatever languages you wish (Even not taking common if you so desire)

Race Types

There are three "types" of races in this system so to speak: Regular, Otherworldly and Overpowered. All of which are explained below:

Regular. These are your bread and butter races that can be found in sourcebooks, it's what most people play as. All of them already have existing official stats outside of this document.

Otherworldly. These are races beyond the norm of 5e, they are typically stronger than regular races and often come from other planes. Races such as Succubi/Incubi and Illithid would fall into this category.

Overpowered. These are races well beyond the scope of 5e... Archfiends and Genies are two examples of what an overpowered race would be. You have an immense advantage simply because of your biology.

Three Parts

There are three parts to Legendary Races: The race itself, the culture, and background. Races and Backgrounds should be familiar to any existing D&D player, but Cultures are new, all three are explained below.

Race

This is what you were born as-your elves, humans, tieflings, all of that. Innate magical abilities, resistances, weaknesses, special movement speeds, all of that falls under your race-it is your biology.

Culture

This is what you grew up in, whether it be a warrior culture, one that values brains or something else entirely. This covers a similar niche to your background while still being separate from it. Proficiencies of any kind often fall under culture, such as languages, skills and tools.

Background

This covers whatever your culture isn't, it basically represents what you were doing after you adopted your culture but before you began playing your character. For example your background could be a Fishermen because you fished for a living, but your culture is that of a religious society.

Lore and Such

It's important to note that this doesn't contain lore for existing races, any homebrew ones exclusive to this system will have a brief blurb but otherwise won't have much to them.

The main point of this is for the mechanics after all.

Size

For the sake of not repeating myself, unless otherwise specified-a race is Medium. If it makes sense for your character for them to be small (Such as a small human or elf) then you may make them small instead at no penalty.

Races that have a unique size (Such as Halfling or extremely large races) Will have their size will be mentioned in their section still.

Racial Modifier

In various features you may find a races feature force a creature to make a saving throw, or even have innate spellcasting.

In those scenarios, you may choose Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma to base the spellcasting/DC on. If something is refering to the modifier itself, it will call it your Racial Modifier.

Some races may allow for your Racial Modifier to be an ability score other than one of those three. If it does, it is mentioned in the races section.

Regular Races

In this section you will find the races that are... Pretty common to say the least. If you were to crack open a setting book you'd be able to find mention of nearly all of them.

You can easily find the racial statistics for all of these races, and quite frankly-those statistics are still just fine. You can use them all you want and ignore this section.

But the point of this is just to give them a little extra power and versatility to better handle solo play, after all, you are a single character-you need to be able to play multiple roles since you don't have a party to fill these roles in for you.

Otherworldly Races

In this section you wild find races that are stronger than those in the previous section. They often come from other planes and have many special abilities to them.

These races often will not have official statistics, meaning it's up to homebrew if a player wants to play them... There is one problem with this homebrew though: Balance.

In a party setting, all of the races need to be balanced against each other so players don't outshine one another... But say a player wanted to play an Illithid? They are so hilariously stronger than typical races that any attempt to make them fall in line with typical races just... Makes them lose the appeal.

Don't get me wrong, there are still many good homebrews for these races. It's just they are limited to the confines of party balance... As this document is intended for games where there is only one PC, it is not limited by this.

Creature Type

Nearly all of these races are not humanoid. Even if they still possess a humanoid form, they are not considered humanoid creatures...

Despite this, every race here is still considered to be a valid target for effects that only work on humanoids (Such as Hold Person, Charm Person, ect)

Once the PC reaches a certain level, you may rule that this stipulation is removed, or you may keep it for the entirety of play.

Overpowered

In this section you wild find races that are significantly stronger than all races found in both of the previous section.

These races often will not have official statistics, meaning it's up to homebrew if a player wants to play them... As with the other section, there is one problem with this homebrew though: Balance.

In a party setting, all of the races need to be balanced against each other so players don't outshine one another... But say a player wanted to play an Illithid? They are so hilariously stronger than typical races that any attempt to make them fall in line with typical races just... Makes them lose the appeal.

Don't get me wrong, there are still many good homebrews for these races. It's just they are limited to the confines of party balance... As this document is intended for games where there is only one PC, it is not limited by this.

Creature Type

Much like the previous section, nearly all of these races are not humanoid. Even if they still possess a humanoid form, they are not considered humanoid creatures...

Despite this, every race here is still considered to be a valid target for effects that only work on humanoids (Such as Hold Person, Charm Person, ect)

Once the PC reaches a certain level, you may rule that this stipulation is removed, or you may keep it for the entirety of play.

Race List

Below you can find the list of races currently in this section, this list will expand as time goes on and this document gets updated.

To the right of each race you will see what creature type they are as opposed to humanoid.

• Archangel (Celestial)

• Archfey (Fey)

• Archfiend (Fiend)

• Archomental (Elemental)

• Asgardian (Humanoid)

• Athedite (Humanoid)

• Death Knight (Undead)

• Empyrean (Celestial)

• Genie (Elemental)

• Inevitable (Construct)

• Lich (Undead)

• Marilith (Fiend)

• Tarrasquekin (Humanoid)

• Xrinakin (Ooze)

Fable Classes vs Races

Many races here are potential future candidates for Fable Classes, some fable classes may even be added to the race list here.

Culture

A characters culture is incredibly important, however in base 5e it gets rolled together with the race. Because of this it just automatically assumes things like every dwarf being trained in a specific set of weapons and such.

The point of cultures is to attempt to fix that by making racial traits separate from these aspects.

Cultures from a mechanics stand point often give miscellaneous proficiencies in tools or skills, but they can also give minor features related to them (Such as the seafaring culture giving you a swim speed)

Culture List

Below you can find the list of cultures currently in this section, this list will expand as time goes on and this document gets updated.

• Artistic

• Corrupt

• Druidic

• Duplicitous

• Fiendish

• Industrious

• Inventive

• Militaristic

• Mining

• Noble

• Nomadic

• Reaver

• Religious

• Royal

• Savage

• Scholarly

• Seafaring

• Survivalist

Backgrounds

As mentioned at the beginning of this section, backgrounds are different from your culture. They both serve a similar purpose however, with your background granting you proficiencies in the same way your culture does.

Build Your Background

Rather than listing a ton of different options, we'll be going with a simple method that allows you to build your own background. You can entirely customize it and choose what you wish to receive from your background. The template for creating a custom background can be seen to the right.

Custom Background Features?

You may be wondering why there isn't a ton of different options given that backgrounds in 5e tend to have a unique feature associated with them (Such as the Sage background being able to find information in a library easily)

The problem with these features that they are often so niche that they never appear, and even in scenarios that they would appear in, they are not used.

Which is why the background feature has been replaced with simply selecting a skill feat, which is something that will always be at least somewhat useful due to it granting proficiency in a skill.

This is also why the background template only gives proficiency in one skill, since the skill feat will give you proficiency in your second skill.

Normal Backgrounds

Not a fan of how backgrounds here were handled? That's fine! Regular 5e backgrounds are still perfectly compatible with legendary races!

Base Legendary Classes

The following pages are dedicated to class specific changes, every class has options for general quick changes applied to them that allow them to function better in a solo setting...

• Artificer Google Drive Homebrewery

• Barbarian Google Drive Homebrewery

• Bard Google Drive Homebrewery

• Cleric Google Drive Homebrewery

• Druid Google Drive Homebrewery

• Fighter Google Drive Homebrewery

• Monk Google Drive Homebrewery

• Mystic Google Drive Homebrewery

• Paladin Google Drive Homebrewery

• Ranger Google Drive Homebrewery

• Rogue Google Drive Homebrewery

• Sorcerer Google Drive Homebrewery

• Warlock Google Drive Homebrewery

• Wizard Google Drive Homebrewery

As you can see, every official class has their own legendary version! However that won't be the end, I intend to give legendary versions to existing homebrew classes (Such as my Siphoner class and those of homebrew creators who are fine with me giving their class a legendary version to)

As it is asked a lot: Blood Hunter will not be receiving a legendary version. I would like to, but I do not feel comfortable doing so without Matthew Mercers permission.

Links to Full Documents

So something you may notice is that none of the completed classes are technically directly in the document, rather I have put in links that you can use to access those documents. You may be asking yourself why I did that exactly, and there are a couple reasons, but here are the two primary ones:

• I don't want this document to be 500 pages long when every legendary class is complete. That would make scrolling through it a nightmare.

• I don't want this document to be multiple gigabytes. No one wants to download that big of a PDF.

Leveling

Legendary Classes are special, even aside from their increased power. Their maximum level has been increased from 20 to 30, and not only that-but every legendary class will have rules for leveling beyond 30. To an infinite amount.

Again I strongly recommend using milestone leveling, as I do not have a good experience total required for levels beyond 20 (Especially once you begin going into 31+)

You can find what features the Legendary class gains for every level beyond 30 on the same page that their legendary actions are listed.

Multiclassing

Assume the following for multiclassing:

• You may multiclass as normal up to level 30.

• Once you hit level 31, you begin receiving the Leveling Beyond 30 features for your highest level class (Choose which if they are tied) You do not receive any features they would receive at an earlier level.

• For example, a level 10 Legendary Rogue and level 20 Legendary Sorcerer wouldn't receive Legendary Sorcerer's 21-30 features when they begin leveling beyond 30, nor would they receive Legendary Rogue's 11-30 features.

The Artificer

A New Power Level

What the hell is a Fable... Whatever? What's the point of having that previous title? Why not just call it Vampire or whatever the class is called after saying Fable? Well that's for an important reason... Because Fable is a new tier of class I'll be using to distinguish this homebrew from regular classes.

Unintended for Party Play

As with the regular Legendary classes (Such as Fighter and Warlock) You should not use this class if you are apart of a party (Aka a group of other players who want to play their own characters). The only scenario in which this may be suitable for party play is if every character at the table is using a Fable class (Which is not something I would recommend to the DM but hey, you do you)

The Fable subset of classes is one intended for solo play, aka one player and one DM at a table.

This has all been balanced and used with the intention of being comboed with everything else in the document!

What's the Point?

Fable classes are meant to be inherently stronger than even the usual legendary classes. For example, while Vampire isn't currently updated to have the level 1-30 treatment, when it does it will be stronger than a Fighter.

And demigod is significantly stronger than even Vampire.

Being a Fable

This isn't just a typical class one can take because it's strong or because it fits their build... Being a Fable defines a characters very being, and should not be shoved off to the wayside.

• Fable classes can not be taken after level 1, meaning you can not multiclass them (If your first class was a Fable one then you could multiclass into non-Fable ones as normal)

• If you become a Fable class via some method in RP (Such as a high level wizard succeeding in a Lichdom ritual) then replace all of your current class levels with that of the respective Fable class.

• If you'd lose features such as magic from the Fable transformation, it should be flavored as the violent change overwhelming you and alterring your very mind.

Epic Magic

Regular magic is something that can be understood, it has rules and limits to its powers. Even the mightiest spell (That being Wish) is more than likely to backfire on the caster if they attempt to perform feats too grand.

...But what about magic beyond regular magic? Magic taken away from mortalkind after it was abused by them... The magic is still there, and legendary creatures are more than eager to grab at it.

Learning Epic Spells

Full casters (Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock and Wizard) typically learn spells naturally as they level up-there's no special requirements for learning or preparing spells asides from finishing a long rest or leveling up... The same cannot be said for epic spells.

Epic spells are secret-even if you have epic level spell slots, that doesn't mean you have epic level spells. Epic level spells should be rewarded to the player as a DM would reward them with magic items.

Say they perform a favor for Mystra, maybe she rewards them with the knowledge of how to cast a specific epic magic spell?

Or they could raid the vault of Demogorgon and find scrolls containing epic spells, which they could then study and learn.

However the PC may end up learning these spells, it's always important to keep in mind that they do not learn them naturally on levelup. It is entirely up to the DM as to what spells they could reward and hand out to their player.

Epic Spell Slots

Spell slots of levels 10, 11 and 12 are gained as you gain full-caster progression. The levels you gain epic slots are listed in a full spellcasters class document, but for ease of access the "typical" progression is also listed in this section.

That being a 10th level slot gained at 21st and 23rd level. An 11th level slot gained at 25th and 27th level. And finally a 12th level slot gained at 29th level.

The only exception to this is Warlock as Warlock is of course a special snowflake.

Spell Lists and Epic Magic

With the unique way that PCs earn and learn epic magic spells, that does bring into question spell lists... Well, quite frankly there's nothing stopping you from allowing any full caster to use any epic spell they have managed to learn.

A druid could use an epic magic spell thats flavor would indicate it's meant for Wizards or vice versa.

There is no spell list listed for any of the epic spells simply because any full spellcaster could learn any of them, you as a DM however could rule that specific classes cannot learn certain epic magic spells.

Preparing Epic Spells

Epic spells are immensely powerful, and the mere knowledge of how to cast one can be incredibly overwhelming to a creature. As such, epic spells follow unique rules when it comes to preparing them:

• They do not count against your classes prepared spells list/spells known.

• At the end of each long rest, you may prepare a number of epic spells that you have learned.

• The number of epic spells you can prepare is based on your full-caster level

• At level 21 you can prepare 1 epic magic spell.

• At level 23 you can prepare 2 epic magic spells.

• At level 25 you can prepare 3 epic magic spells.

• At level 27 you can prepare 4 epic magic spells.

• At level 29 you can prepare 5 epic magic spells.

Unless you have a feature that states otherwise, you can not prepare more epic magic spells than the amount listed. Of course don't forget too, you'll still need to discover epic spells if you wish to prepare them.

Epic Components

Many epic spells require unique and difficult to obtain components. Even if these components are not consumed or do not have a gold cost, using an Arcane Focus is not a suitable replacement for casting the spell.

You must have the listed component in order to cast that spell.

Level 10 / Tier 1

Below you can find epic magic of 10th level (Or tier 1 epic magic if you prefer to refer to it as that)

Full spellcasters receive their first 10th level slot at level 21, and their second one at level 23. Non-full casters cannot achieve epic magic.

Level 11 / Tier 2

Below you can find epic magic of 11th level (Or tier 2 epic magic if you prefer to refer to it as that)

Full spellcasters receive their first 11th level slot at level 25, and their second one at level 27. Non-full casters cannot achieve epic magic.

Level 12 / Tier 3

Below you can find epic magic of 12th level (Or tier 3 epic magic if you prefer to refer to it as that)

Full spellcasters receive their first and only 12th level slot at level 29.

Optional Features

I've given you a lot in this document. There's rules for Legendary actions, Legendary feats, special Mythic feats, the skill feats, and then full blown Legendary Classes/Fable Classes... But what if that isn't enough?

What if you want more to hyperpower your character and to better withstand the difficulties of solo play.

Well welcome to this section which has been dubbed optional features. Here you can pick and pull features as you wish, you don't have to use them at all-you can use none of them, you can use all of them-it's up to the people playing to decide what they wish to do.

Leveling

As I've previously mentioned in this document, a Legendary character with everything used up to this point should be the equivalent to around 3 to 4 regular player characters (Or at least that's the goal)

But adding more features to them means that this total will increase, to the right you can find how using each feature will adjust your characters power level.

Updates for 4.0

In 3.0, this section received no updates. Now in 4.0, there are updates! What has been updated? Well...

• There's 5 new Auric Emotions! Bravery, Laziness, Loneliness, Pride and Tranquility.

• There's X new Signs of Labors!

• A page was added to explain rules for Mythical Magic beyond level 20, and how Mythical Magic interacts with epic spells (It doesn't)

Feature List

• Auric Emotions (+1/2 a Character). A powerful skill tree style system that allows the character to embrace their emotions and gain abilities related to them. A character with Auric Emotions is considered to be an additional 0.5 characters (If they were previously considered 3 characters, they'd now be 3.5 characters)

• Mythical Magic (Unchanged). A system of magic that moves away from spell slots and allows mages to unleash their spells much more frequently, burning their resources faster but also regaining them much faster. A characters power level is unchanged if they are using this feature.

• Signs of Labors (+1/2 a Character). A customization system where you can earn marks and equip them, getting rewarded for your extraordinary feats in the form of powerful features. A character with Signs of Labors is considered to be an additional 0.5 characters (If they were previously considered 3 characters, they'd now be 3.5 characters)

Auric Emotions

Every sentient creature has emotions, they are a basic part of life. Creatures of the legendary level experience them much more... Vividly to say the least. Their emotional states are empowered, they become as strong as any blade or armor.

Emotion Trees

Emotions are broken up into Emotion Trees . Each tree represents some intense emotion your character may have, like Love or Anger. Each tree has traits that a character can take and use to grow even stronger. A single character can only have traits from up to 3 different trees.

Example: Lin is a Level 5 Legendary Paladin of Conquest. She is on a quest to avenge the death of her sister who was the only thing left in the world she cared about. To represent this, she chose her Auric emotions to be Anger, Determination, and Love (Although Sadness is still a fitting replacement for love)

Emotion Traits

Every odd numbered overall level (Not a specific classes level if you are a multiclass) your emotions grow. This is represented by you taking an Emotion trait from one of the trees your character can take from.

For clarification, these are the following levels at which you can take an emotion trait: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19.

Emotion traits are broken up into 5 tiers, each one representing a level of power above the previous. In order to take an emotion trait in a higher tier than 1, you must meet the level prerequisite for the tier, and you must have the previous tier in that tree.

Example: Lin is level 5 as previously stated, and it's at this level she can start taking tier 2 Emotion traits. The traits she has already taken are in the Anger and Determination trees. Her Level 5 trait could be a tier 2 from either the Anger or Determination trees, However she could not choose a tier 2 trait from the Love tree. This is because she doesn't have a tier 1 love trait yet.

Meaning she can choose a tier 1 or 2 trait from Anger or Determination, or a tier 1 trait from Love for this level.

More Trait Information

Emotion Traits gained from your Emotion Trees can be... Well they can really be anything. They can be passive effects like damage resistances, or active effects like innate spellcasting. They can even be additional legendary action options.

Auric Emotions that give you an additional option for your legendary actions will be noted with an (LA) in the traits name.

List of Emotions

Below you can find a list of all currently available Auric Emotions, more will be added as this document is updated of course.

Legendary Auric Emotions

Everything beforehand was intended for levels 1-20, but what if you're using one of the complete Legendary classes that now uses levels 1-30? Well you're in luck! Use this section to see how they work for you.

Earning Emotion Traits

Instead of gaining them every odd numbered level, you gain an emotion trait at 5th level and every 3 levels after level 5 (8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 25, 29)

Even beyond level 30, your DM may rule that you continue gaining emotion traits. I would be cautious with this however, because there is a finite number of traits you can receive after all.

Time to Drop Knowledge

This is the true way I want Auric Emotions to work, I dislike getting them at level 1 and the whole odd numbered earning traits thing. The only reason the other part is still here is because some people may want to stick with the 1-20 versions and not use my reworked classes.

Anger

Mythical Magic

A lot of fans of D&D 5th edition hold the opinion that magic and the caster classes are stronger than martial ones. Whether that is true or not is up for debate, however what isn't up for debate is how magic and caster classes just have much more interesting options in and out of combat.

Fixing that is a project for another update, but in Legendary PCs, there is a major issue with caster classes beyond their frailty... It's their resources.

A Legendary Martial character will always be quite potent, being able to unleash high damage weapon attacks multiple times a turn and have a high AC to boast, even without any class features remaining. But casters? Once out of spell slots all they have is their cantrips which... Aren't as reliable compared to weapons to say the least.

The goal of Mythical Magic is to fix this resource issue that caster classes have, by drastically reworking the spell slot system and how you cast spells.

The Goal of This

Here are the key goals of this rework:

• Make magic feel much more visceral and impactful to the caster.

• Make Casters move away from rests in general, and focus on a more solo friendly style.

• Make D&D casting feel closer to casting from many other sources of media.

Note on All of This

I heavily advise against using this in non-solo settings. It will make the casters significantly stronger than any other martial party members, and it trivializes caster resource management.

The point is that casters when in a solo setting will quickly chew through all of their slots since they have to do everything on their own, and then they'll be useless.

As with every feature in this document that adds on to the power of a Legendary PC, this is optional. If you don't like it, it's as simple as not using it! Although make sure to communicate this with your player.

Essence of Magic

Replaces Spell Slots

Casters wielding Mythical Magic instead of Vancian Magic use a resource known as Essence instead of Spell slots to fuel their spells. Essence works very similar to the variant Spell Point system if you are familiar with that.

You expend an amount of essence dependant on the spells level to cast it, and you may upcast the spell as normal by expending more essence.

Your characters essence maximum is determined by their class. Below you can find the essence costs for each spell.

New Spell Costs

Replenishing Essence

Essence is meant to be a fast draining but also fast replenishing casting system, allowing casters to unleash powerful spells much more frequently.

Initiative. Essence is a chaotic force that reacts with the users adrenaline, it regenerates much faster while in initiative. At the beginning of each of a casters turns while in initiative, they restore expended essence-the amount depends on which caster class they have the most levels in (If there is a tie, you use the higher value)

Out of Combat. Essence lays much more dormant when not in combat. You regain 1 expended essence every 10 minutes - Your Spellcasting ability modifier (Minimum of 1 minute) when not in combat. While taking a short or long rest, you recover expended essence twice as fast.

Class Essence

Every Class has a different amount of essence to their name, you use the essence total detailed below for your appropriate class. If you are multiclassed between multiple caster classes, you add together their essence totals for your appropriate level.

The "Essence Tables" for each class is on the following pages.

Artificer Explanation

Artificers are half-casters that rely on their magic just a little bit more than the other half-casters, that combined with the fact that Artificer actually gets their casting at level 1 leads most people to refer to them as a 2/3rd caster instead.

Artificers have a stronger essence maximum and essence recovery rate than the other half-casters because of this, but they are still inferior in both departments compared to the full casters.

Artificer begins at 1 essence regained per turn and then increases by 1 every time a new "tier" of play begins (Widely considered to be levels 5, 11, and 17 as key milestones) For the maximum essence, they start at 3 and gain 1 every level. Whenever their proficiency bonus would naturally increase, they gain 2 instead.

Bard Explanation

Bard falls into the same category of druid as having a mixed essence table. The middleground between Cleric and Warlock of having a better regen rate than cleric but a lower essence maximum.

The choice for that is because Bards also have pretty decent base and subclass features, however they aren't as good as clerics and aren't as desolate as Sorcerer/Wizard.

They start at 4 maximum essence and every level after they gain 2 maximum essence to end themselves off at 42, and their essence per turn starts at 1 and then becomes equal to their base proficiency bonus starting at level 3.

For homebrew full caster classes (None are in this document yet) use the Bard table above to determine their essence if you want to use the essence rules for said caster class.

Cleric Explanation

Clerics fall into my "Slow regeneration but high base essence" category. They start at 5 essence, and every even level they gain +2 maximum essence, while at every odd level they gain +3 maximum essence. And their essence regeneration per turn is scaled at a rate of being 1 less than their natural proficiency bonus.

Clerics are one of the caster classes that also contain a lot of very useful base class and subclass features, and are quite frankly the most martial-like full caster. So their numbers for casting are a bit lower to compensate.

Druid Explanation

Druid functions off of the same logic as the bard! They are the middleground, having a bit of a lower essence maximum then cleric but with a higher regeneration rate. They start at 4 maximum essence and every level after they gain 2 maximum essence to end themselves off at 42, and their essence per turn starts at 1 and then becomes equal to their base proficiency bonus starting at level 3.

Paladin Explanation

Ah Paladin, the class that feels much more like a mixture of martial and magical abilities than the ranger. They have a much slower essence recovery rate than full casters while also having a smaller essence pool, this is due to them also being able to rely on their martial abilities.

The essence per turn starts at 1 and increases to 2 at 7th level and 3 at 15th level. You start at 3 maximum essence and every odd level you gain 2 maximum essence... I realize that this is the exact same as just gaining 1 essence per level, so you can do that if you want.

For homebrew half-caster classes (Such as the Siphoner class mentioned earlier in the document) use the Paladin table for determining their essence if you want to use the essence rules with the class.
