Legend Game System: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

* [[After the End]]: The current setting, Hallow, is built from the remnants of an entire solar system. It was likely destroyed by some massive catastrophe, and rebuilt by divine powers.

* [[Annoying Arrows]]: Averted. Arrows are exactly as harmful as sword wounds.

* [[Attack Attack Attack]]: The Kitsune in Osaka Street Stories would rather do this than use their [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]] for a detailed, lengthy scheme.

* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: The Kitsune in Osaka Street Stories would rather do this than use their [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]] for a detailed, lengthy scheme.

* [[Artificial Human]]: Sentient Constructs with the Skinjob feat are either this or [[Ridiculously Human Robots]].

* [[Artificial Human]]: Sentient Constructs with the Skinjob feat are either this or [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]].

* [[Back From the Dead]]: The "Phoenix Reborn" ability for Monks, and a few alike powers in the Dragon, Celestial, and Undead tracks. Also possible via a medicine check.

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: [[Captain Obvious|Monks]] get a boost that cause their unarmed strikes to gain the same properties as any other weapon.

Line 41:

* [[Friendly Sniper]]: En in Osaka Street Stories, who ends a very formally worded letter stating that her contract on the players has expired and inviting them to her house with the following:

* [[Full-Contact Magic]]: Shaman incantations are the 'pure' example of the trope, but Just Blade Sages store curses in their weapons and cast them by hitting people.

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: The Mechanist Savant track.

* [[Gun Kata]]: Monks with guns is a supported archetype.

Line 54:

* [[Le Parkour]]: Happens right before the climax of Osaka Street Stories, with the players chasing an [[Youkai|Oni]] across rooftops.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Anybody with the [[Bare-Fisted Monk|Discipline of the Serpent]] track becomes one, thanks to that track's focus on granting extra attacks. The dev team considers this the single biggest [[Game Breaker]] in the book.

* [[Linear Warriors Quadratic Wizards]]: Averted. Balancing the classes against each other was a key point in Legend's development. The system provides good examples of what Quadratic Warriors look like.

* [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]]: Averted. Balancing the classes against each other was a key point in Legend's development. The system provides good examples of what Quadratic Warriors look like.

** If anything, spells are actually ''underpowered'' in this game.

* [[Look Behind You]]: Clever characters can use the Bluff skill like this during a fight.

* [[Look Behind You!]]: Clever characters can use the Bluff skill like this during a fight.

* [[Luke Nounverber]]: One of the example dwarf names is "Fistbeard Beardfist".

* [[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.

Line 79:

* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Pretty much everyone on the dev team aside from the core members is one.

* [[Ring of Power]]: Several, whose effects range from making you smarter to making you teleport.

* [[Rocks Fall Everyone Dies]]: Averted by the "Rocks Fall" trap, the description of which states that "[r]umors of its lethality have been greatly exaggerated."

* [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]]: Averted by the "Rocks Fall" trap, the description of which states that "[r]umors of its lethality have been greatly exaggerated."

* [[Schizo Tech]]: Justified in various ways.

* [[Schizo-Tech]]: Justified in various ways.

* [[Shout Out]]:

* [[Shout-Out]]:

** One of the suggested orc names in the core rulebook is "[[Space Mutiny|Flint Ironstag]]."

** Examples of "character concepts" in the core rulebook include "[[Discworld|Wizzard on the Run]]," "[[Elric of Melnibone|Bearer of Stormbringer]]," "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Cheerleader Who Kills Vampires]]," and "[[The Dresden Files|Wizard Detective]]."
