Legendary Classes
Welcome to Legendary Classes! The next major update for
Legendary Player Characters, a supplement for Dungeons
and Dragons 5th Edition that intends to give rules for buffing
up players so one on one games (1 DM and 1 Player) is much
more possible!
Now of course, let me start by saying the obvious: This
class breaks all typical 5e balancing conventions, it should
not be used in regular play, nor should it be compared to
regular 5e classes.
Legendary classes are meant to make a single player worth
the equivalent of 3 players (Without just tripling damage
output and HP) So it's going to be significantly more
powerful than the regular version of the class.
Why?
Why would you use this? Why would you play D&D with two
people when it's meant for a larger group? There's a myriad of
reasons really, but below are a few good ones.
It's easier to schedule and prepare for, instead of having to
manage the schedules of six different people, you've
reduced that total to two, making it much easier to
arrange sessions for D&D.
This helps with protagonist syndrome... In a normal
campaign, no one player should outshine the others, and
you'll often hear horror stories of players who try to take
the spotlight... In solo games with one player and one DM,
that is not a problem! The singular player can shine as
bright as they want without worry of making other players
feel useless.
It can simply be a lot of fun. I've played solo games a lot
with my partner, and before I began making Legendary
Player Characters, it was... Really difficult to actually run
encounters and make characters without things feeling
really bad, because D&D isn't made for solo play.
Of course as mentioned, there's far more reasons than just
those three. If you don't think you'd like this, then that's
perfectly fine! Solo play isn't for everyone. I personally prefer
it and that's just how I play the game, everyone plays in their
own way.
For anyone else who prefers solo style or is interested in
giving it a try, then this class and the full Legendary Player
Characters document are right up your alley!
Legendary Player
Characters
As mentioned to the left of this text, this is meant as a
supplement for the Legendary Player Characters document.
You can find the links to the full 127 page document below!
Google Drive
Homebrewery
It is not mentioned in the class specifically, but this class
does still use Legendary Actions. Nothing has been changed
about the Legendary Action rules from the LPC document,
and the legendary actions you can choose for this class can
be found at the end of this document!
Encounters
When calculating encounters for a player with this class,
consider them to be equivalent to three characters of the
same level.
I recommend using milestone leveling with this system,
however if you do not and want to use XP, then you should
reward a third of the xp they would normally gain (So they
don't level rapidly)
If the PC is using Auric Emotions or Signs of Labors in
tandem with this class, treat them as three and a half
characters. If they are using both in tandem with this class,
treat them as four characters.
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 particular class. 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.

equally at home leading a cavalry charge or exchanging
repartee at a state dinner. Cavaliers also learn how to guard
those in their charge from harm, often serving as the
protectors of their superiors and of the weak. Compelled to

their lives of comfort to embark on glorious adventure.

Riders Bond

bond with your mount. Over the course of 1 week, you may
form a bond with a willing creature to make it your bonded
mount. The creature must be capable of being considered a
mount (Such as a horse, drake, wyvern or even willing
dragon. This is heavily up to DM discretion)
The creature may be returned to life by casting Find Steed
if it is dead and willing. Any benefits a creature you summon
by Find Steed would receive, your bonded mount also
receives.
If you bond with a new creature, your old bond
immediately ends.

mount with grace and dignity. As a bonus action and by
expending 1 Mastery Die, you may allow your mount to make
an attack, choosing any one from its statblock.

attack or damage roll of your mounts attack (But not both)
Enduring Mount
At 18th level, you are able to allow your mount to hold on

instead.

tire. Your mount is now immune to the Exhausted condition,
and can not have its speed reduced by any means.

you are one entity. Whenever you or your bonded mount
takes damage, either of you may choose to transfer any
amount of the damage to the other, provided both are willing.
You must be mounted on your Bonded Mount to use this
feature.
Champion Intense Training
Regular fighters already train a lot, they need to in order to Beginning at 21st level, you begin to improve your body
reach their desired power... Champions though? They take it beyond mortal limits. Choose either your Strength, Dexterity
to the extreme. Seeking perfection in both body and skill, or Constitution score. Your chosen score increases by 2, and
Champions are what most people think of when they think of its maximum increases by 4.

receive the fruits of your training. You may select an Strenuous activity, if you engage in more than 1 minute (10
additional Combat Trait from your Combat Training feature. rounds) of combat during a short rest, it is interrupted. These
rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Remarkable Athlete
Once you reach 6th level, your body becomes further honed
to endure the trials you subject it to. You have advantage on
saving throws against any non-magical feature that would
give you a level of exhaustion.
In addition, when you make a running long jump, the
distance you can cover increases by a number of feet equal to
your Strength modifier.
Physical Peak
Additionally at 6th level, your physical skill extends to
physical activities in which you aren't familiar in. Whenever
you make a Strength, Dexterity or Constitution ability check
that does not already include your proficiency bonus, you may
add half of your proficiency bonus to it (Rounded up)
Mixed Master

body when striking. When you make an attack with a weapon
using Strength or Dexterity, you gain a bonus to the attack
and damage rolls equal to half of the modifier of the ability

your Strength, Dexterity or Constitution score. Your chosen
score increases by 2, to a maximum of 20.
Survivor

battlefield endurance. At the start of each of your turns, you
regain hit points equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier
(Minimum of 1) if you have no more than half of your hit
points left. You don't gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points.
Juggernaut
What's the point of knowing all these amazing abilities and
being practically a god with your weapons when you keel over
in the first few seconds of combat? Fighters who follow this
archetype praise the superiority of defense.
Unbreaking
Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you have
strengthened your defense. Whenever you suffer
Bludgeoning, Piercing or Slashing damage, you may subtract
your Mastery die from the damage taken (This reduction
cannot reduce the damage taken below half of its original
value)
Armor Preference

your favorite armor. Choose any Armor School, your tier for
that school increases by 1.

a saving throw with one of the ones chosen, you may add
your Mastery die to the saving throws result. If your Mastery

this numerical bonus.
At levels 14 and 21, you may choose an additional two
saving throws to apply this feature to.

combination. Not all Magus' can be put into the same classes casting ability, being considered a caster of level
category however: Some focus on arcane magic, while others equal to half your fighter level (Rounded down) For example,
may focus on druidic magic, or even occult magic. if you were a 7th level Magus, you'd have the spellcasting
equivalent to a 3rd level Full caster.
You use that classes spell list as normal, and follow their
normal progression for learning spells (Whether it be a
prepared caster or a known caster)
Class Profession Name
Bard (Charisma) Musical Warrior
Cleric (Wisdom) Holy Vanguard
Druid (Wisdom) Primeval Warden
Sorcerer (Charisma) Legacy Defender
Warlock (Charisma) Eldritch Knight
Wizard (Intelligence) Arcane Guard

War Magic
Upon reaching 6th level, you are able to blend your combat
with magic seamlessly. Whenever you take the attack action,
you may replace one of your attacks with a cantrip.
Magus Strike
Beginning at 10th level, your steel aids your sorcery. After
hitting a creature with a weapon attack, that creature has
disadvantage on its next saving throw against one of your
Magus Spells before the end of your next turn.
Arcane Charge
Once you reach 14th level, you become capable of moving
across the battlefield in flashes of magical energy. As a bonus
action on your turn and by expending a Mastery Die, you may
teleport to an unoccupied space that you can see.
The range of this teleport is equal to 5 times the number
rolled on your Mastery die in feet.
Arcana Knight
At 18th level, your leftover magic begins to fuel your martial
abilities. Whenever you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or
higher, you regain one expended Mastery die.
Mayhem Magic
Beginning at 21st level, your mastery over magic and steel
heightens. When you take the attack action, you may use your
bonus action to cast a spell of 3rd level or lower.
Quick Recharge

Prodigy Archetype
Some people are just naturally gifted when it comes to
things. Some are natural geniuses that can learn things with
little effort, some are natural adepts at magic who practically
have it flowing through them, and some... Are immediate
experts when it comes to martial combat.
Prodigious Skill
As a prodigy, you do not need any sort of special abilities or
techniques to be a master at your craft. Whenever you would
gain an Archetype feature (Levels 3, 6, 10, 14, 18, 21 and 25)
you instead gain the Ability Score Improvement feature.
This functions exactly as a normal Ability Score
improvement, you can increase your stats or you can select a
non-legendary feat.

Inspiration
This was inspired by u/DarkAureole and their
Fighterer subclass, which is a joke subclass they
made with their twitch chat.
With Legendary PCs I felt this was fitting as a
potential option to allow for further customization,
so I added it as one of the subclass options!
Rune Knight
Rune Knights enhance their martial prowess using the
supernatural power of runes, an ancient practice that
originated with giants. Rune cutters can be found among any
family of giants, and you likely learned your methods first or
second hand from such a mystical artisan. Whether you
found the giant's work carved into a hill or cave, learned of
the runes from a sage, or met the giant in person, you studied
the giant's craft and learned how to apply magic runes to
empower your equipment.
Giants Might
Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you have learned
how to imbue yourself with the might of giants. As a bonus
action, you magically gain the following benefits:
If you are smaller than Large, you become Large, along
with anything you are wearing. If you lack the room to
become Large, your size doesn't change. While you are
large, your reach increases by 5-feet.
You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength
saving throws.
Your melee weapon attacks deal 1d6 bonus damage. This
increases to 1d8 at Fighter level 14, and 1d10 at Fighter
level 21.
These benefits last for a minute, until you fall unconscious,
or you use a bonus action to end the state. You may use this
feature twice, and you regain all expended uses of it upon
completing a long rest.
Rune Carver
Additionally at 3rd level, you can use magic runes to enhance
your gear. You learn two runes of your choice, from among
the runes described on the next page, and each time you gain
a level in this class, you can replace one rune you know with
a different one from this feature. At Fighter levels 7, 10, 14,
and 21, you learn an additional rune.
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a number of
objects equal to the number of runes you know, and you
inscribe a different rune onto each of the objects. To be
eligible, an object must be a weapon, a suit of armor, a shield,
a piece of jewelry, or something else you can wear or hold in
a hand. Your rune remains on an object until you finish a long
rest, and an object can bear only one of your runes at a time.
In addition to this, you gain proficiency in smith's tools, and
you learn to speak, read and write Giant.
Runic Barrier
Upon reaching 6th level, you learn to sacrifice your runes for
defense. When you or a creature within 60-feet of you is hit
with an attack, you may expend your reaction to reduce the
damage taken to 0.
In order to use this feature, you must remove a rune off of
an item benefiting from it.
Runic Mastery
At 10th level, you may invoke each Rune you know from Rune
Carver twice, rather than once in between rests.
Everlasting Size
Once you reach 14th level, you begin to grow more
accustomed to your larger stature. There is no longer a time
limit on your Giants Might feature, and you may use it any
number of times between rests.
Master Invoker
Beginning at 18th level, you become a true adept at invoking
the runes. You may invoke a rune you know on your turn
without requiring any action, you may only invoke one rune
per turn.
Titan
At 21st level, you receive another growth spurt! When you
grow from Giants Might, you may choose to become Huge
instead of large if there is enough room to do so. If you do,
your reach is increased by 10-feet rather than 5.
Master Rune
Finally at 25th level, you have perfected one of your runes
into its purest form... Choose one of the following features,
which can not be changed after it is chosen:
Haug. You are permanently under the effects of the Hill
Runes invoked effects while in Giants Might.

something similar, that means you roll your mastery die and
