The first step in playing Legend is creating a character for your Legend game. If you are playing a one-shot or a similar brief game, and only require enough information to fill out a character sheet, you can use the Quick Start Guide to generate a character. If you are playing a longer game, you may wish to devote a little more time and effort to developing a character concept and finding the mechanical abilities that best support it; see Advanced Character Creation.

Quick Start

To create a character quickly, follow these steps:

Choose a Race

Choose a race from the options detailed in Races: Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Human, or Orc.

Choose a Class

Legend Core Classes
Class HP/Lvl BAB Good Saves Bad Save KOM KDM Skills Description
Barbarian 10 Good Any Two Any One Varies Con 5 Terrifying and tough melee fighter
Monk 8 Good Any Two Any One Wis Con 6 Fast, precise martial artist
Paladin 10 Good Fort, Will Ref Str Cha 5 Supernaturally powerful arbiter of justice
Ranger 10 Good Fort, Ref Will Dex Int 6 Hunter, scout, and special operative
Rogue 8 Varies Ref, Any One Any One Varies Varies Varies Trickster who relies on skill in battle
Sage 8 Poor Any Two Any One Varies Varies 6 Master of arcane secrets and battle magic
Shaman 8 Poor Fort, Will Ref Wis Cha 6 Spellcaster with powers that heal or harm
Tactician 8 Poor Ref, Will Fort Int Con 9 Spellcaster who controls the battlefield

Choose a class from the table "Legend Core Classes." The tracks associated with each class, along with full descriptions of each track’s abilities, can be found in on their respective pages. If you have to make choices associated with your tracks (such as spell selection or choosing between different tracks for which you're eligible), make them now and write your tracks and track abilities down on your character sheet.

Assign Ability Scores

The default ability scores in Legend are 16, 14, 14, 12, 10, and 10. Assign them to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, in the order you prefer. In general, it is best to assign high scores to your character’s Key Abilities, since those are the abilities on which your character most relies in a broad variety of situations.
