Legend first started on The Order of the Stick forum's Test of Spite arena as a series of house-rules to improve the flaws of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition. It soon became evident to the arena masters that the amount of house-rules that resulted — nearly 80 pages worth of material — was sufficient to reach a critical density and spawn an entire book. Development on a new game system incorporating their house-rules began shortly afterwards, which eventually culminated in a role-playing game that, while still based on the d20 system, was substantially different from Dungeons & Dragons. It aims to provide a sleek chassis for a wide variety of gaming styles and fantasy archetypes with an emphasis on quick, rules light play.Legend's most obvious defining feature is the Track system. Rather than taking levels in classes, characters are built by combining three or four tracks that each center around a certain ability and gain every ability from these tracks as they level up. Each class consists of three tracks, which center around different abilities — for example, the default Barbarian's abilities center around Raging (Path of Rage), Hitting Lots of Enemies At Once (Path of Destruction), and Blocking Things With Your Chest (Path of the Ancestors). Multiclassing is accomplished by switching out one track with another — to continue the above example, someone wishing to play a technically minded fighter could swap out Path of Rage with the Ranger's Iron Magi track and focus on stringing together precise sequences of blows, or switch Path of the Ancestors with the Rogue's Acrobatic Adept to focus on dodging and weaving through the battlefield. The sheer quantity of tracks (almost 60 and counting) allows for some rather unorthodox but 100% viable builds.There is no default setting in the book, though two settings (Hallow and Chion) are currently in the works. There has also been an adventure released called Osaka Street Stories, set in Japan in the early 1990's, and another called Comfortably Grim is being written.A beta version was officially released on November 25th, 2011 though the charity Child's Play, and updates to the beta came out in May 2012 and January 2013. The 1.0 edition was released on June 17th, 2013. Word of God was that more content was in the works, but in 2016 it was admitted that Legends as a project was dead.Not to be confused with the Mongoose Publishing game Legend, which is a continuation of their second version of RuneQuest after their license to the name expired. | |

Our Orcs Are Different: Hallow Orcs were originally the shock troops of chaos gods, kept stupid and unquestioning to serve their gods' purposes. Once introduced to Hallow, they were freed from their mental shackles and started their own (still militaristic) society, becoming Hallow's most prominent mercenaries. | |

Not the Fall That Kills You…: Fall damage is broken up into three categories: Trivial Falls that deal no damage. Hazardous Falls that do up to 30 damage — devastating to low level characters, easily brushed off past level 5 for almost anyone Dramatic Plunges that are very explicitly falls to your doom. The rulebook recommends using them extremely sparingly. | |

Our Angels Are Different: Archons and other fluffy-winged celestial beings exist, and there's even a racial track for players with several options to make each character unique. In Hallow, the Angels are enormous semi-sentient constructs of glass and metal that oversee parts of the world.

Magic Knight | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_58204b95 | comment |
Magic Knight: Present due to multiclassing, and without the trope's normal limitations. Learning spells as a warrior is a versatility trade-off; they choose which of their martial abilities to sacrifice, and the spells themselves are the same. A Red Mage-type build is equally possible with the same trade-off - a melee character (Barbarian, Ranger, Paladin, Rogue, or Monk) with multiclassing and Late Buy In can acquire both spellcasting tracks while maintaining some melee abilities and weaponry. Likewise, a spellcaster can do the same thing to acquire their counterpart's spellcasting track and a melee ability, although the limitations of their base class may cause some problems. Just Blade Sages are this by default, to great effectiveness- they channel curses (or elemental blasts, or necromantic energy, or...) into their "Grim Heritors," which are straight-up Expys of lightsabres, and stab people in the face to unleash the spells. | |

Unstoppable Rage | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_6b983bf7 | comment |
Unstoppable Rage: Still the Barbarian's calling card; available to any class via multiclassing. Notably, it gets legitimately quite unstoppable as the character levels up — a higher-level Barbarian's rage includes features such as counting as one size larger (whether or not the character actually grows in size is left to the player), being able to intimidate enemies in combat, and gaining immunity to mind-affecting attacks. At the highest circle of the track in question, the Barbarian never stops raging. | |

Character Customization | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_8aaa6f4f | comment |
Character Customization: Pretty much the biggest draw of the system. Not only can you choose class, but each class has a set of three ability tracks it grants. You may swap out one of your class ability tracks for that of another, and may swap a second track with the Guild Initiation feat. Finally, you have the option to take an additional fourth track with the Full Buy In mechanic (though you trade away most of your magic items in exchange). In practice, this means that not only can you build almost any conceivable character, but there are usually several different ways to do it. Even better, the system's focus on balance means that all these builds will be equally viable. | |

A Red Mage-type build is equally possible with the same trade-off - a melee character (Barbarian, Ranger, Paladin, Rogue, or Monk) with multiclassing and Late Buy In can acquire both spellcasting tracks while maintaining some melee abilities and weaponry. Likewise, a spellcaster can do the same thing to acquire their counterpart's spellcasting track and a melee ability, although the limitations of their base class may cause some problems. | |

Gambit Roulette: Can be invoked by a player with the "Arrangements" [Legendary] ability: if they can weave a convincing enough tale of how everything has gone All According to Plan, they outright win the current encounter (with GM approval of course). This can even devolve into a Gambit Pileup if there's another character with this ability: the two characters are forced to exchange counter-plots until the GM decides one is definitively better. | |

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_afc52a86 | comment |
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: One benefit of the track system is that it's possible to construct many of these, up to and including a Ninja Pirate Zombie Kamen Rider. Breakdown The tracks required for this specific combination are Swashbuckler, I Am Ten Ninjas, Undead, and Vigilante. Furthermore, the system's insistence on letting the players and GM create their own fluff means that there are very few hard limits on what can be assembled. A literal one. Start as a Sentient Construct Shaman. Use Shaman's Path to get Swashbuckler from Rogue. Use your free multiclass to get I Am Ten Ninjas. Then opt for Full Buy-In to take the Undead track with Ghoul. Now you have I Am Ten Ninjas (Ninja), Swashbuckler (Pirate), Sentient Construct (Robot), Undead (Zombie). | |

Mooks: There's a surprisingly in-depth format for building them on the fly. They also have distinct classes: Grunts are Exactly What It Says on the Tin and get a health and AC bonus. Strikers are slightly more tactical ranged fighters with an increased move speed. Minions get both benefits, and are slightly more competent threats. Elites are minions with a track. Operatives are Elites who get their own unique abilities. You play as one in Comfortably Grim. Minibosses are Minions with a full four tracks and two feats. Myriads are the odd group out. They have the stats of strikers, but are essentially a collection of bodies that die instantly when hit. The tradeoff is that they don't have to roll for attack and will always do damage. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: MANY. One of the suggested orc names in the core rulebook is "Flint Ironstag." Examples of "character concepts" in the core rulebook include "Wizzard on the Run," "Bearer of Stormbringer," "Cheerleader Who Kills Vampires," and "Wizard Detective." Some feats: "To Pierce The Heavens", "Big Damn Hero", "I Am Not Left-handed", and the Mummy track has one to do with fear called "Keep Them In Line". There's also the Obsidian Ring (Black Isle Studios and Obsidian Entertainment) and Vera (Firefly) Monks eventually get an ability called Fists of Fury The aforementioned "Fistbeard Beardfist" is a reference to a popular CharOp build; the original creative lead is a well-known D&D 3.5 optimizer, and the creator of "Fistbeard" was until recently one of the writers. The Unicorn track has circles named after memes - including AwYiss. The Pegasus track has an ability called "Everything's Air-Droppable Once". One of the examples of high-level use of Athletics jumping is to jump onto a skeletal dragon to confront the lich riding it. The abilities granted by the Vigilante track seem awfully familiar. One of the traps is called "Deadly Neurotoxin". The Combat Alchemist track is basically The Witcher in a can. [Precision] damage focuses on "exploiting weak points for massive damage." The Examples given for the custom weapons includes a gaudy shield that you can use to hit your opponent, a flying suit of armor that can blast your foes, and a hammer that can shoot lighting and returns to your hand when thrown. | |

Natural Weapon | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_d7866de0 | comment |
Natural Weapon: Present and accounted for. They gain something of a power boost from the fact that they — and, by extension, their properties — are always active and available even with another weapon drawn. This allows you to have an active weapon loaded to the gills with defensive properties while still having a strong attack freely available. This is an acknowledged tactic, and highly encouraged by the devs. | |

Weapons Kitchen Sink | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_d9e924a5 | comment |
Weapons Kitchen Sink: The rules are designed to enable the assembly of quite literally any weapon imaginable simply by putting together three properties and declaring, for example, "This weapon is a chainsaw." | |

Drunken Master | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_da484c4a | comment |
Drunken Master: Fluffwise, this was originally a dwarven martial art, but has been imitiated by barbarians of every race. Mechanics-wise, there is a set of feats based upon Livers Need Not Apply, which gives a ton of bonuses for drinking. | |

Lightning Bruiser | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_db6230b7 | comment |
Lightning Bruiser: Due to the track system, making someone who are reasonably good at everthing is easy. As an example, an Utter Brute/Smiting/Crane build has both high defensive capabilities from Brute, high-offense abilities from Smiting and a high mobility from Crane. | |

Rage Quit: The Tell Them, Still Angry feat is essentially an in-character version of this - you explode on death, inflicting damage on everyone in the vicinity. The flavor text reads "No table will remain unflipped." | |

Our Gnomes Are Weirder | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_dee04580 | comment |
Our Gnomes Are Weirder: Hallow gnomes have low-level mind control and emotion-reading abilities, and like to be ruled by non-gnome monarchs (with the idea being that a ruler without mind control powers, when surrounded all day by creatures with mind control powers, will inevitably be on his or her best behavior). Furthermore, some of their weirdness is in the form of Obfuscating Stupidity - the core book's examples of gnomish technology include a garish set of decorative rainbow armor (that turns into an active camouflage system when one more piece is added) and high-quality opera glasses (that happen to make excellent sniping scopes). | |

OurDwarvesAreDifferent | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_e4dfd6be | comment |
Our Dwarves Are Different: Dwarves in Hallow are highly logical beings who often become irritated when dealing with less rational creatures (ie, anyone who is not a dwarf) and come across as rather Vulcan in nature. Then you have a subset of dwarven monks who prefer to get drunk and beat the living daylights out of their enemies. | |

Just Blade Sages are this by default, to great effectiveness- they channel curses (or elemental blasts, or necromantic energy, or...) into their "Grim Heritors," which are straight-up Expys of lightsabres, and stab people in the face to unleash the spells. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Legend System (Tabletop Game) / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Any word that has a specific definition in the game is written in isolated [Brackets] . This is not a bad thing; in fact, it helps clear up rule confusion when everything has a strict definition. | |
