Creating a player-character
Follow these steps below to create a legendary character — a hero — to represent yourself in the world of Hyrule.
You and your fellow players each control a hero in the world of legends weaved by your narrator. Just like in a video game, your hero is defined in part by numbers representing what they can do and by what items they have, but also by their appearance, their personality, their bonds, and their actions. These rules focus on the numbers, but be sure to consider what kind of person you want to portray in your ensuing adventures.
These rules are meant for a full campaign in Hyrule, with each game session representing a different adventure in the world explored by your party. If your campaign doesn't take place in Hyrule, use either the default character creation rules or whatever rules your narrator believes will work best for you. Whether creating a Hyrulean character or not, the first step is always to consult your narrator.
To record your character's details, you can use any typical character sheet for D&D. You can also jot them down on any parchment or Sheikah Slate you have handy.
Step 1: Ability Scores
One of the most fundamental aspects of a your hero are their numerical ability scores. The six scores are Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
You can choose one of the four methods below to determine your ability scores. These methods are designed to be interchangeable. If one player wants to roll ability scores and another wants to use point-buy, the scores could be a little better or a little worse, but almost never to the extent either player will feel useless by comparison. However you generate your scores, be sure to record them.
Method A: Standard Array
You have six numerical scores: 14, 13, 12, 11, 9, and 8. You can assign these scores to your six abilities in whichever order you like.
This method creates a very balanced character. These scores can be easily optimized with your race and class to create an effective individual who still has room to grow, and doesn't have any glaring weaknesses.
Method B: Rolled Array
This is a good option if you want something a bit different, or want to take a chance at being above-average. If you would be disinterested in committing to a character with poor abilities, it is best if you choose a method other than this one. Considering this, your narrator might reasonably omit this option.
Roll 4d4+1, and record the number you rolled. Do this five more times, until you have six numbers. The six numbers you rolled become your six ability scores, which you can assign to your six abilities in whatever order you like—with one exception. If you roll a 7 or lower, you can't assign it to your Constitution.
If you don't roll at least one result above 7, which is unlikely, you can re-roll a completely new array. This is the mercy rule.
Probabilities. Before considering the mercy rule, this method's average result is 11, with a small chance of being as low as 5 or as high as 17. The most probable Rolled Array will be comparable to the Standard Array, but with possibilities for underpowered or overpowered spreads. There's a ~3% chance of scoring even a single 17 across all six rolls, and equally low odds of rolling a single 5. There's a ~30% chance you’ll roll a single score above 14.
Score | Cost |
---|---|
7 | 0 |
8 | 1 |
9 | 2 |
10 | 3 |
11 | 4 |
12 | 5 |
13 | 7 |
14 | 9 |
Method C: Point-Buy
This method gives you nuanced control over the exact numbers your ability scores can be, which may be a preferred result if you enjoy optimizing your character's capabilities.
You have 27 points to spend on your ability scores. The cost of each score is shown in the adjacent table. For example, a score of 13 costs 7 points. When using this rule, you can't assign a score of 7 to your Constitution.
This method cannot be used to decrease a score below 7 or increase a score above 14. You can't make an array quite as valuable as the Standard Array, but in exchange you get much more control over what your scores are.
Method D6 Spread
This can be a good option for an experienced player who is interested in creating a character around locked-in scores. All your ability scores start at 9. Roll 12d6, and tally the individual results of each d6.
- For each 1, increase your Strength score by one.
- For each 2 increase your Dexterity score by one.
- For each 3, increase your Constitution score by one.
- For each 4, increase your Intelligence score by one.
- For each 5, increase your Wisdom score by one.
- For each 6, increase your Charisma score by one.
This will end up with the same number of points in the Standard Array, minus 1. There’s a chance of very balanced scores or one extremely high locked-in score. Unlike the Rolled Array, there's no chance of all low scores or all high scores.
Step 2: Choose Class
Choosing a class has the most long-term impact on your hero's capabilities, especially those you employ in combat. Choose one from champion, opportunist, researcher, sage, and scion.
Depending on your choice, there are other decisions to make regarding your class, as detailed on each class's page. Champion is perhaps the simplest option initially. If you choose sage or scion, you will need to choose a subclass right away, but other classes let you get a feel for it before you commit to a subclass.
Speed. Your speed is how far you can move on each turn. You start with a walk speed of 30 feet, but your class and lineage may decrease or increase this distance. You might also gain different speed types, such as with a zora’s swim speed.
- A champion utilizes weapons and relies on exemplary physical prowess to get the job done. Most incarnations of Link are champions, as are characters like Daruk, Revali, Ralph, the Hero’s Shade, Swiftblade, and Orca. Strength or Dexterity is usually a champion's most important ability score, followed by Constitution.
- An opportunist wields finesse and tact to swiftly win hearts and exploit weaknesses. Sheik, Linkle, and even garo are various opportunists. Dexterity is typically an opportunist's most important ability score.
- A researcher studies magic and casts spells from memorization and practice. Midna, Maple, Pura, Twinrova, and wizzrobes are researchers. Intelligence is a researcher's most important ability score.
- A sage wields mysterious elemental powers and restorative magic bestowed by the gods. Most incarnations of Princess Zelda are sages, as are characters like Medli, Sidon, and Rauru. Wisdom is a sage's most important ability score.
- A scion inherited supernatural power directly from a muse, a spirit, a calling, or a powerful being like a dragon or great fairy. Kass, the Happy Mask Salesman, Volga, and Wizzro are different scions. Charisma is usually a scion's most vital ability.
Step 3: Choose Lineage
The world of Hyrule is inhabited by countless different creatures, each of a lineage ranging from the familiar hylians, to stalwart gorons, to the alien twili. Your lineage is your species, and lineages described here are human-like—or “humanoid.” Your creature type is humanoid, unless your lineage says otherwise.
As your lineage you can choose from the options detailed below. Your narrator might offer more options for lineages depending on the nature of your campaign. Your lineage affords several traits you may want to record on your character sheet.
- Gorons are built like mountains, eat rocks, and wade through lava. Gorons are indomitable both as warriors and as friends. They treat each other as entirely male. Darunia, Daruk, Biggoron, Gorko, and Darbus are renowned gorons. Link once took the form of Darmani, a goron hero.
- Gerudo are tall, powerful women who resemble hylians in many ways, but are taller and generally have stark red hair, deep tan skin, and tend to be much more athletic. Many adhere to a proud warrior culture. Most gerudo live deep in the desert. Ganondorf is the most infamous gerudo, but other renowned gerudo include Urbosa, Riju, Nabooru, Koume, and Kotake.
- Hylians are the most widespread, influential, and industrious people of Hyrule. Most travelers and adventures hail from this familiar race. Unlike many folks, hylians are always expected to be fully clothed. Link, Zelda, Impa, and most well-known Hyrulean characters are hylians.
- Rito are beaked avian folk, who are mostly able to fly on feathered wings. They settle on cliffs, mountains, and islands often beyond the reach of land-bound creatures. Revali, Tulin, Teba, Medli, and Quill are rito.
- Zora are amphibious people somewhat resembling fish, who typically live along coastlines and rivers. Many among them can innately wield magic. Sidon, Mipha, Ruto, and Oren are some of the most renowned zora characters. Link once even took the form of Mikau, a sea zora musician.
The uncommon lineages below are not present in all legends of Hyrule, and even when they are, these folk are either less populous or tend to be less adventurous than common lineages.
- Anouki are squat people with reindeer-like horns who almost universally wear parkas all day. They are most comfortable in wintery lands that most other races find unbearably cold. Though civilized and organized, they tend to live far away from most other races listed here.
- Deku scrubs are Small wooden people with bark-like skin and leaf-like hair, who have many plant-like characteristics. Their tubular mouths are used to spit seeds as a means of defense. Some hylians consider scrubs to be wild monsters, but they may simply be misunderstood and perhaps paranoid. Link once took the form of a deku scrub.
- Koroks are wooden dolls given live by the Great Deku Tree. These mysterious and reclusive folks have stubby limbs, and wear leaf-masks in lieu of faces. Most have an incredibly positive and innocent attitude, which may be why they are sometimes called "children of the forest" despite never really being children. Renowned koroks include Makar, Hestu, and Chio.
- Twili are descended from brilliant mages who were once hylians, and as such share many features with hylians, but have some innate magical talents. Living in the eerie Twilight Realm for countless generations has gradually turned their bodies gray.
- Zonai are an ancient and brilliant people with bodies shaped like hylians and gerudo, but covered in fur, with faces somewhat resembling sheep. Said to be the founders of Hyrule, until recently zonai were thought to be extinct or possibly even mythical.
Flexible Ability Scores
The Ability Score Increase feature your lineage represents typical folks, but heroes are rarely typical. If your narrator enables it, you may ignore your Ability Score Increase trait and instead assign ability score increases tailored to your character. To do so, take each Ability Score Increase you gain from your race or subrace and apply it to an ability score of your choice. If you gain more than one increase, you can't apply those increases to the same ability score, and you can't increase a score above 20.
For example, if your race is sea zora you normally increase your Wisdom by 2 and your Charisma by 1, but if your narrator enables this option you could instead increase your Dexterity by 2 and your Constitution by 1. You couldn't however increase your Dexterity by 3.
Step 4: Improve
An improvement represents a particular area of training or aptitude for your hero, which may set you apart. As your improvement, you can gain one of the following benefits:
- Gain one feat for which you qualify.
- Increase two ability scores by 1 each.
- Increase one ability score by 2, but only if your race's Ability Score Increase doesn't already increase that same score by 2.
This improvement cannot increase an ability score above its maximum, which is initially 20.
Step 5: Items
Some legendary heroes start without even so much as a sword, but thankfully your character has amassed some gear or wealth prior to the start of your adventure. You character always start with a set of common clothes, 2 rations, and 2 bottles of water.
Additionally, you can either (a) select from with the Starting Equipment provided by your class or (b) pick out your own equipment using a budget of 1,000 rupees. Any rupees leftover from the the budget end up in your pockets.
Finally, and optionally, you can start with any sentimental trinket you like that with negligible economic value, such as a ragdoll or a tiny wooden figurine.
Your hero can carry a number of items equal to their Strength score, but you probably don’t start with that many. Any attire you’re wearing, like clothes or armor, doesn’t count against this limit. For your carry limit, up to 10 light items only count as 1 normal item.
Step 6: Statistics
By now you should have several statistics recorded including, your known languages, your heart points from your class, and any proficiencies you have with saving throws, skills, and tools. It's time to jot down a final few statistics of your character if you haven't already done so. Since you’re starting at 1st level, your proficiency bonus—or “PB”—is +2.
Armor Class
The higher your AC, the harder it is to hit you with an attack. If your first class is one chosen from this page, by your AC equals:
8 + your PB + your Dexterity modifier + your armor + your shield
All pieces of armor you’re wearing count towards your AC. However no more than one shield counts towards your AC; if you have more than one shield, you only use the highest bonus. If you don’t have a shield, it’s just 0. If your attire doesn’t include any armor, that’s treated as 0 too.
Some lineages or classes have a feature which grants you an alternative AC, which you can use as it describes.
Weapons
For each weapon your character wields, it can be helpful to crunch some numbers in advance. When you make an attack with a weapon, you roll a d20 and add your proficiency bonus (only if you are proficient with the weapon) and the appropriate ability modifier.
For a typical weapon attack or an unarmed strike, add your Strength modifier to attack rolls and damage rolls. For a weapon that has the finesse property, such as a broadsword, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier.
For a weapon that has the aimed property, like slingshots and bows, you can’t add your Strength modifier and instead must add your Dexterity or Wisdom modifier.
Passive Perception
The higher your passive Perception, the harder it is for creatures to hide from your notice. Your passive Perception equals 10 + your Wisdom modifier. If you are proficient in the Perception skill, you also add your proficiency bonus.
Step 7: Describe
It's time to flesh out your hero as a person, if you haven't done so already, and design them as a character. You can describe your hero in as much or as little detail as you like: appearance, personality, backstory, flaws, and more. Your character's lineage and class can help to inspire characterization ideas, but you never need to adhere to them. Your character's personality and story are entirely yours to decide.
You may also decide to give your character an alignment, though in Legends of Hyrule this is optional. Giving your character ideals to uphold and goals to achieve can help your narrator craft adventures tailored to your party. If your character has relationships to other characters you namedrop—family members, work associates, peers, and so on—this can help the narrator create better narratives, too.
You should always at least decide on a name for your character. The description for your chosen lineage provides examples of common or renowned names for members of that lineage. Most Hyrulean characters only have a given name, but you can add a surname or family name if you like.
Final Step: Assemble
Legends of Hyrule is about heroes working together. This game assumes your character will be in a party of two to eight heroes each portrayed by a different player, all working together in a world described by your narrator.
It's best to talk with your fellow players and narrator about how your characters would meet and interact, or how they might know each other from events that took place before the campaign even started. Your group may even prefer to build their characters under a joint concept, such as being from the same village or fighting for a shared cause. Even if your characters come from completely different backgrounds, teamwork and cooperation greatly enhance your success in Hyrule.
After all, it's dangerous to go alone.

The six numbers you rolled become your six ability scores, which you can assign to your six abilities in whatever order you like—with one exception. If you roll a 7 or lower, you can't assign it to your Constitution.
If you don't roll at least one result above 7, which is unlikely, you can re-roll a completely new array. This is the mercy rule.
Probabilities. Before considering the mercy rule, this method's average result is 11, with a small chance of being as low as 5 or as high as 17. The most probable Rolled Array will be comparable to the Standard Array, but with possibilities for underpowered or overpowered spreads. There's a ~3% chance of scoring even a single 17 across all six rolls, and equally low odds of rolling a single 5. There's a ~30% chance you’ll roll a single score above 14.
Score | Cost |
---|---|
7 | 0 |
8 | 1 |
9 | 2 |
10 | 3 |
11 | 4 |
12 | 5 |
13 | 7 |
14 | 9 |
Method C: Point-Buy
This method gives you nuanced control over the exact numbers your ability scores can be, which may be a preferred result if you enjoy optimizing your character's capabilities.
You have 27 points to spend on your ability scores. The cost of each score is shown in the adjacent table. For example, a score of 13 costs 7 points. When using this rule, you can't assign a score of 7 to your Constitution.
This method cannot be used to decrease a score below 7 or increase a score above 14. You can't make an array quite as valuable as the Standard Array, but in exchange you get much more control over what your scores are.
Method D6 Spread
This can be a good option for an experienced player who is interested in creating a character around locked-in scores. All your ability scores start at 9. Roll 12d6, and tally the individual results of each d6.
- For each 1, increase your Strength score by one.
- For each 2 increase your Dexterity score by one.
- For each 3, increase your Constitution score by one.
- For each 4, increase your Intelligence score by one.
- For each 5, increase your Wisdom score by one.
- For each 6, increase your Charisma score by one.
This will end up with the same number of points in the Standard Array, minus 1. There’s a chance of very balanced scores or one extremely high locked-in score. Unlike the Rolled Array, there's no chance of all low scores or all high scores.
Step 2: Choose Class
Choosing a class has the most long-term impact on your hero's capabilities, especially those you employ in combat. Choose one from champion, opportunist, researcher, sage, and scion.
Depending on your choice, there are other decisions to make regarding your class, as detailed on each class's page. Champion is perhaps the simplest option initially. If you choose sage or scion, you will need to choose a subclass right away, but other classes let you get a feel for it before you commit to a subclass.
Speed. Your speed is how far you can move on each turn. You start with a walk speed of 30 feet, but your class and lineage may decrease or increase this distance. You might also gain different speed types, such as with a zora’s swim speed.
- A champion utilizes weapons and relies on exemplary physical prowess to get the job done. Most incarnations of Link are champions, as are characters like Daruk, Revali, Ralph, the Hero’s Shade, Swiftblade, and Orca. Strength or Dexterity is usually a champion's most important ability score, followed by Constitution.
- An opportunist wields finesse and tact to swiftly win hearts and exploit weaknesses. Sheik, Linkle, and even garo are various opportunists. Dexterity is typically an opportunist's most important ability score.
- A researcher studies magic and casts spells from memorization and practice. Midna, Maple, Pura, Twinrova, and wizzrobes are researchers. Intelligence is a researcher's most important ability score.
- A sage wields mysterious elemental powers and restorative magic bestowed by the gods. Most incarnations of Princess Zelda are sages, as are characters like Medli, Sidon, and Rauru. Wisdom is a sage's most important ability score.
- A scion inherited supernatural power directly from a muse, a spirit, a calling, or a powerful being like a dragon or great fairy. Kass, the Happy Mask Salesman, Volga, and Wizzro are different scions. Charisma is usually a scion's most vital ability.
Step 3: Choose Lineage
The world of Hyrule is inhabited by countless different creatures, each of a lineage ranging from the familiar hylians, to stalwart gorons, to the alien twili. Your lineage is your species, and lineages described here are human-like—or “humanoid.” Your creature type is humanoid, unless your lineage says otherwise.
As your lineage you can choose from the options detailed below. Your narrator might offer more options for lineages depending on the nature of your campaign. Your lineage affords several traits you may want to record on your character sheet.
- Gorons are built like mountains, eat rocks, and wade through lava. Gorons are indomitable both as warriors and as friends. They treat each other as entirely male. Darunia, Daruk, Biggoron, Gorko, and Darbus are renowned gorons. Link once took the form of Darmani, a goron hero.
- Gerudo are tall, powerful women who resemble hylians in many ways, but are taller and generally have stark red hair, deep tan skin, and tend to be much more athletic. Many adhere to a proud warrior culture. Most gerudo live deep in the desert. Ganondorf is the most infamous gerudo, but other renowned gerudo include Urbosa, Riju, Nabooru, Koume, and Kotake.
- Hylians are the most widespread, influential, and industrious people of Hyrule. Most travelers and adventures hail from this familiar race. Unlike many folks, hylians are always expected to be fully clothed. Link, Zelda, Impa, and most well-known Hyrulean characters are hylians.
- Rito are beaked avian folk, who are mostly able to fly on feathered wings. They settle on cliffs, mountains, and islands often beyond the reach of land-bound creatures. Revali, Tulin, Teba, Medli, and Quill are rito.
- Zora are amphibious people somewhat resembling fish, who typically live along coastlines and rivers. Many among them can innately wield magic. Sidon, Mipha, Ruto, and Oren are some of the most renowned zora characters. Link once even took the form of Mikau, a sea zora musician.
The uncommon lineages below are not present in all legends of Hyrule, and even when they are, these folk are either less populous or tend to be less adventurous than common lineages.
- Anouki are squat people with reindeer-like horns who almost universally wear parkas all day. They are most comfortable in wintery lands that most other races find unbearably cold. Though civilized and organized, they tend to live far away from most other races listed here.
- Deku scrubs are Small wooden people with bark-like skin and leaf-like hair, who have many plant-like characteristics. Their tubular mouths are used to spit seeds as a means of defense. Some hylians consider scrubs to be wild monsters, but they may simply be misunderstood and perhaps paranoid. Link once took the form of a deku scrub.
- Koroks are wooden dolls given live by the Great Deku Tree. These mysterious and reclusive folks have stubby limbs, and wear leaf-masks in lieu of faces. Most have an incredibly positive and innocent attitude, which may be why they are sometimes called "children of the forest" despite never really being children. Renowned koroks include Makar, Hestu, and Chio.
- Twili are descended from brilliant mages who were once hylians, and as such share many features with hylians, but have some innate magical talents. Living in the eerie Twilight Realm for countless generations has gradually turned their bodies gray.
- Zonai are an ancient and brilliant people with bodies shaped like hylians and gerudo, but covered in fur, with faces somewhat resembling sheep. Said to be the founders of Hyrule, until recently zonai were thought to be extinct or possibly even mythical.
Flexible Ability Scores
The Ability Score Increase feature your lineage represents typical folks, but heroes are rarely typical. If your narrator enables it, you may ignore your Ability Score Increase trait and instead assign ability score increases tailored to your character. To do so, take each Ability Score Increase you gain from your race or subrace and apply it to an ability score of your choice. If you gain more than one increase, you can't apply those increases to the same ability score, and you can't increase a score above 20.
For example, if your race is sea zora you normally increase your Wisdom by 2 and your Charisma by 1, but if your narrator enables this option you could instead increase your Dexterity by 2 and your Constitution by 1. You couldn't however increase your Dexterity by 3.
Step 4: Improve
An improvement represents a particular area of training or aptitude for your hero, which may set you apart. As your improvement, you can gain one of the following benefits:
- Gain one feat for which you qualify.
- Increase two ability scores by 1 each.
- Increase one ability score by 2, but only if your race's Ability Score Increase doesn't already increase that same score by 2.
This improvement cannot increase an ability score above its maximum, which is initially 20.
Step 5: Items
Some legendary heroes start without even so much as a sword, but thankfully your character has amassed some gear or wealth prior to the start of your adventure. You character always start with a set of common clothes, 2 rations, and 2 bottles of water.
Additionally, you can either (a) select from with the Starting Equipment provided by your class or (b) pick out your own equipment using a budget of 1,000 rupees. Any rupees leftover from the the budget end up in your pockets.
Finally, and optionally, you can start with any sentimental trinket you like that with negligible economic value, such as a ragdoll or a tiny wooden figurine.
Your hero can carry a number of items equal to their Strength score, but you probably don’t start with that many. Any attire you’re wearing, like clothes or armor, doesn’t count against this limit. For your carry limit, up to 10 light items only count as 1 normal item.
Step 6: Statistics
By now you should have several statistics recorded including, your known languages, your heart points from your class, and any proficiencies you have with saving throws, skills, and tools. It's time to jot down a final few statistics of your character if you haven't already done so. Since you’re starting at 1st level, your proficiency bonus—or “PB”—is +2.
Armor Class
The higher your AC, the harder it is to hit you with an attack. If your first class is one chosen from this page, by your AC equals:
8 + your PB + your Dexterity modifier + your armor + your shield
All pieces of armor you’re wearing count towards your AC. However no more than one shield counts towards your AC; if you have more than one shield, you only use the highest bonus. If you don’t have a shield, it’s just 0. If your attire doesn’t include any armor, that’s treated as 0 too.
Some lineages or classes have a feature which grants you an alternative AC, which you can use as it describes.
Weapons
For each weapon your character wields, it can be helpful to crunch some numbers in advance. When you make an attack with a weapon, you roll a d20 and add your proficiency bonus (only if you are proficient with the weapon) and the appropriate ability modifier.
For a typical weapon attack or an unarmed strike, add your Strength modifier to attack rolls and damage rolls. For a weapon that has the finesse property, such as a broadsword, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier.
For a weapon that has the aimed property, like slingshots and bows, you can’t add your Strength modifier and instead must add your Dexterity or Wisdom modifier.
Passive Perception
The higher your passive Perception, the harder it is for creatures to hide from your notice. Your passive Perception equals 10 + your Wisdom modifier. If you are proficient in the Perception skill, you also add your proficiency bonus.
Step 7: Describe
It's time to flesh out your hero as a person, if you haven't done so already, and design them as a character. You can describe your hero in as much or as little detail as you like: appearance, personality, backstory, flaws, and more. Your character's lineage and class can help to inspire characterization ideas, but you never need to adhere to them. Your character's personality and story are entirely yours to decide.
You may also decide to give your character an alignment, though in Legends of Hyrule this is optional. Giving your character ideals to uphold and goals to achieve can help your narrator craft adventures tailored to your party. If your character has relationships to other characters you namedrop—family members, work associates, peers, and so on—this can help the narrator create better narratives, too.
You should always at least decide on a name for your character. The description for your chosen lineage provides examples of common or renowned names for members of that lineage. Most Hyrulean characters only have a given name, but you can add a surname or family name if you like.
Final Step: Assemble
Legends of Hyrule is about heroes working together. This game assumes your character will be in a party of two to eight heroes each portrayed by a different player, all working together in a world described by your narrator.
It's best to talk with your fellow players and narrator about how your characters would meet and interact, or how they might know each other from events that took place before the campaign even started. Your group may even prefer to build their characters under a joint concept, such as being from the same village or fighting for a shared cause. Even if your characters come from completely different backgrounds, teamwork and cooperation greatly enhance your success in Hyrule.
After all, it's dangerous to go alone.

Starting equipment
You start with a backpack and common clothes. You also have either (a) 1,000 rupees' worth of equipment you choose, or (b) one option from each of the following lines:
- (a) ring mail with two handaxes, or (b) partial armor and a shortbow with 20 arrows

(b) 50 feet of rope fastened to a grappling hook, 10 iron spikes, a hammer, and a shovel; or (c) a bullseye lantern, 5 pints of oil, and a tinderbox
If your campaign focuses on survival, you also start with the following equipment for free: 10 days of rations, 4 bottles full of water, a mess kit, and a bedroll.
Hearts
- Heart Containers: 1d10 per fighter level
- Heart Points at 1st Level: 10 + Constitution modifier
- Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 (or 6) + Constitution modifier per fighter level after 1st. If your 1d10 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.
Proficiencies
Some warriors in Hyrule forgo traditional armor to instead defend themselves with agility, cunning, panache, or sheer toughness. Instead of gaining proficiency with all armor and shields, you can elect to only gain proficiency with light armor and shields (but not heavy shields) to gain the following benefit: While you aren't wearing armor, your AC is never lower than 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (whichever is highest). Any shield can add to this AC. |
If fighter is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to any from your proficiency points.
- Armor: All armor and shields, including heavy shields
- Weapons: All simple and martial weapons, plus bombs
- Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution
- Tools: Choose one from any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, or any one vehicle
While specialized fist-fighters are uncommon in Hyrule, you might count among them. You can forgo gaining proficiency with martial weapons to instead gain the Unarmed Fighting style. |
Proficiency Points
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background. If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in any any two skills from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background. |
If fighter is your first class, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 7 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of points.
During character creation or during downtime, you can invest these points to become proficient.
- You can invest 1 point to become proficient in one of the following: Athletics, History, any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
- You can invest 2 points to become proficient in one of the following: any professional tool, or any skill from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival.
- You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.
Retraining
Heroes don't always retain their skills forever. Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new skills. Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature. Doing so lets you regain the points you invested. You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.
If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.
Stamina Gauge
You have a number of stamina points equal to your fighter level.
If fighter is your first class (see multiclassing), you also add your Constitution modifier to your number of stamina points. If your Constitution modifier later increases, so too does your number of stamina points.
You can use your stamina points to perform target strikes or to use other class features. Normally all of your stamina points are replenished when you complete a short or long rest.
Target Strike
Just before making an attack roll with a weapon or an unarmed strike, you can make a target strike either by expending 2 stamina points, or by taking disadvantage on the attack roll. You cannot make a target strike if the attack roll would have disadvantage anyway, nor if any effect imposes a -5 penalty to the attack roll.
A target strike generally aims for wherever the target is most vulnerable, such as gaps in a warrior's armor, or the exposed eye of a huge monster. This kind of target strike maximizes the damage dice rolled on a hit (e.g., treat 1d8 as simply 8), including any extra dice rolled as part of a critical hit or from other sources. Your narrator may enable alternate or additional effects for a target strike.
Sprint
As a bonus action, you can expend 1 stamina point to Dash, Disengage, or Search.
Fighting Style
At 1st level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty from the options listed on the Fighting Styles page.
You can gain additional fighting styles through your Improvement feature but you can never gain the same fighting style multiple times.
Fighters always evolve their strategies to face new challenges. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one fighting style you know with a new one.
Fighter Archetype
At 2nd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate in your combat prowess. The archetype you choose grants you features at 2nd level and again at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th level.
Each archetype below is covered in full detail on its own, separate page.
- A brute specializes in simple, brunt force. Hit hard and often.
- A captain draws the attention of hostile threats in order to protect allies.
- A darknut specializes in stalwart, heavily-armored defense. Your guard is virtually impenetrable.
- A magic knight mixes the study of magic with the art of war. You cast a variety of spells, from fiery blasts to restorative magic.
- A sharpshooter specializes in assaulting enemies with flurries of ranged attacks.
- A tunic employs a wide range of useful battle techniques that draw on stamina.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and every even-numbered fighter level thereafter as shown in the fighter table, your fighting capabilities evolve. You gain one of the following improvements:
- Increase two of your ability scores of your choice by 1, or one ability score by 2.
- Master one or two martial techniques. If you choose to master only one technique, increase one of your ability scores by 1.
- Master a new fighting style.
- Gain a feat.
This feature cannot increase any ability score above 20 unless you have a feature that increases your maximum score for that ability.
Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace any one fighter technique you know with a new one of the same tier, in addition to your normal Improvement.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Indomitable
Beginning at 9th level, you can re-roll a saving throw you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 18th level.
Action Surge
Starting at 11th level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Great Strikes
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Starting from 17th level, your target strikes can become devastatingly powerful. When you make a target strike, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If you do so and the attack hits, it deals an extra 10 damage.
Champion
At 19th level, your maximums for your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores all increase by 2. At this level you can also increase two of these scores by 1 or one of these scores by 2.Table: The Brute

This tab merges the fighter class features with those of the brute archetype. See Brute for a list of the brute archetype features in isolation.
Whether by bow, blade, or fist, the brute focuses on only one thing: tearing the enemy to shreds. With raw talent few can match, a brute strikes early, often, and with utter brutality. While others are prancing about and puzzling over what to do, the brute has already pulverized their enemies to dust. Becoming a brute is the clear choice for any fighter who wants to keep things straightforward and to-the-point, especially if that point is the tip of a sword.
Starting equipment
You start with a backpack and common clothes. You also have either (a) 1,000 rupees' worth of equipment you choose, or (b) one option from each of the following lines:
- (a) ring mail with two handaxes, or (b) partial armor and a shortbow with 20 arrows
- (a) a broadsword and an iron shield, (b) a greatsword, (c) two shortswords, or (d) any one martial melee weapon
- (a) a bomb and a bear trap, (b) any musical instrument, or (c) any one tool you become proficient with using proficiency points
- (a) a crowbar, a portable ram, a whistle, 10 pieces of chalk, 10 empty sacks, 10 torches, and a tinderbox;
(b) 50 feet of rope fastened to a grappling hook, 10 iron spikes, a hammer, and a shovel; or (c) a bullseye lantern, 5 pints of oil, and a tinderbox

Fighting Style
At 1st level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty from the options listed on the Fighting Styles page.
You can gain additional fighting styles through your Improvement feature but you can never gain the same fighting style multiple times.
Fighters always evolve their strategies to face new challenges. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one fighting style you know with a new one.
Mettle
Starting from 2nd level, all Heart Containers you gain from this class become d12s instead of d10s—including the one you gained at 1st level.
Your heart point maximum increases by 3, and it increases by an additional 1 every time you gain a fighter level after this.
Brutal Blow
At 3rd level, you learn to truly take out your pent-up aggression against your foes. After you hit a creature with a target strike, you can expend any number of stamina points to increase the damage by 3 for each point expended.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and every even-numbered fighter level thereafter as shown in the fighter table, your fighting capabilities evolve. You gain one of the following improvements:
- Increase two of your ability scores of your choice by 1, or one ability score by 2.
- Master one or two martial techniques. If you choose to master only one technique, increase one of your ability scores by 1.
- Master a new fighting style.
- Gain a feat.
This feature cannot increase any ability score above 20 unless you have a feature that increases your maximum score for that ability.
Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace any one fighter technique you know with a new one of the same tier, in addition to your normal Improvement.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Battle Instinct
From 7th level onward, add your proficiency bonus to your initiative if you don't already.
Brutal Critical
Starting from 7th level, whenever you score a critical hit, you can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack. This increases to two additional dice at 11th level, and three at 15th level.
Indomitable
Beginning at 9th level, you can re-roll a saving throw you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 18th level.
Action Surge
Starting at 11th level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Endless Attacks
Starting from 11th level, when you use the Attack action on your turn or use your action to execute a technique, you can use your bonus action to make one more attack. At 20th level, you can instead use your bonus action to make two more attacks.
You cannot add bonus dice to the attack or damage rolls of these bonus attacks.
Brutal Finish
Upon reaching 15th level, your attacks become so devastating they rend even the afterlife. Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 heart points with a weapon attack or unarmed strike, its body is destroyed to the point that in effect no corpse is left behind. The creature cannot be resurrected by a spell of fewer than 13-points (lower than 9th level), nor any other effect that doesn't first create a new body for the creature.
Barrier Breaker
Starting at 15th level, your attacks can smash or pierce through barriers both mundane and magical. You ignore any damage resistance (but not damage immunity) against your weapon attacks and unarmed strikes.
Great Strikes
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Starting from 17th level, your target strikes can become devastatingly powerful. When you make a target strike, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If you do so and the attack hits, it deals an extra 10 damage.
Champion
At 19th level, your maximums for your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores all increase by 2. At this level you can also increase two of these scores by 1 or one of these scores by 2.Table: The Captain

Starting equipment
You start with a backpack and common clothes. You also have either (a) 1,000 rupees' worth of equipment you choose, or (b) one option from each of the following lines:
- (a) ring mail with two handaxes, or (b) partial armor and a shortbow with 20 arrows
- (a) a broadsword and an iron shield, (b) a greatsword, (c) two shortswords, or (d) any one martial melee weapon

(b) 50 feet of rope fastened to a grappling hook, 10 iron spikes, a hammer, and a shovel; or (c) a bullseye lantern, 5 pints of oil, and a tinderbox
If your campaign focuses on survival, you also start with the following equipment for free: 10 days of rations, 4 bottles full of water, a mess kit, and a bedroll.
Hearts
- Heart Containers: 1d10 per fighter level
- Heart Points at 1st Level: 10 + Constitution modifier
- Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 (or 6) + Constitution modifier per fighter level after 1st. If your 1d10 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.
Proficiencies
Some warriors in Hyrule forgo traditional armor to instead defend themselves with agility, cunning, panache, or sheer toughness. Instead of gaining proficiency with all armor and shields, you can elect to only gain proficiency with light armor and shields (but not heavy shields) to gain the following benefit: While you aren't wearing armor, your AC is never lower than 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (whichever is highest). Any shield can add to this AC. |
If fighter is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to any from your proficiency points.
- Armor: All armor and shields, including heavy shields
- Weapons: All simple and martial weapons, plus bombs
- Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution
- Tools: Choose one from any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, or any one vehicle
While specialized fist-fighters are uncommon in Hyrule, you might count among them. You can forgo gaining proficiency with martial weapons to instead gain the Unarmed Fighting style. |
Proficiency Points
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background. If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in any any two skills from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background. |
If fighter is your first class, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 7 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of points.
During character creation or during downtime, you can invest these points to become proficient.
- You can invest 1 point to become proficient in one of the following: Athletics, History, any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
- You can invest 2 points to become proficient in one of the following: any professional tool, or any skill from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival.
- You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.
Retraining
Heroes don't always retain their skills forever. Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new skills. Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature. Doing so lets you regain the points you invested. You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.
If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.
Stamina Gauge
You have a number of stamina points equal to your fighter level.
If fighter is your first class (see multiclassing), you also add your Constitution modifier to your number of stamina points. If your Constitution modifier later increases, so too does your number of stamina points.
You can use your stamina points to perform target strikes or to use other class features. Normally all of your stamina points are replenished when you complete a short or long rest.
Target Strike
Just before making an attack roll with a weapon or an unarmed strike, you can make a target strike either by expending 2 stamina points, or by taking disadvantage on the attack roll. You cannot make a target strike if the attack roll would have disadvantage anyway, nor if any effect imposes a -5 penalty to the attack roll.
A target strike generally aims for wherever the target is most vulnerable, such as gaps in a warrior's armor, or the exposed eye of a huge monster. This kind of target strike maximizes the damage dice rolled on a hit (e.g., treat 1d8 as simply 8), including any extra dice rolled as part of a critical hit or from other sources. Your narrator may enable alternate or additional effects for a target strike.
Sprint
As a bonus action, you can expend 1 stamina point to Dash, Disengage, or Search.
Fighting Style
At 1st level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty from the options listed on the Fighting Styles page.
You can gain additional fighting styles through your Improvement feature but you can never gain the same fighting style multiple times.
Fighters always evolve their strategies to face new challenges. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one fighting style you know with a new one.
Mettle
Starting from 2nd level, all Heart Containers you gain from this class become d12s instead of d10s—including the one you gained at 1st level.
Your heart point maximum increases by 3, and it increases by an additional 1 every time you gain a fighter level after this.
Courage
Starting from 2nd level, you have advantage on all saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
Duel
Starting from 3rd level, you can use your bonus action to compel a hostile creature within 30 feet of you to focus its aggression on you. To be affected, the target must be able to see you, and it can't already be compelled to duel another creature. A creature that can't be charmed is immune to this effect.
For 1 minute, a compelled creature target has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you. Additionally, each foot the creature moves away from you costs it 1 extra foot of movement.
If you compel another creature to duel, the previous effect immediately ends. The effect also ends if you are incapacitated.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and every even-numbered fighter level thereafter as shown in the fighter table, your fighting capabilities evolve. You gain one of the following improvements:
- Increase two of your ability scores of your choice by 1, or one ability score by 2.
- Master one or two martial techniques. If you choose to master only one technique, increase one of your ability scores by 1.
- Master a new fighting style.
- Gain a feat.
This feature cannot increase any ability score above 20 unless you have a feature that increases your maximum score for that ability.
Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace any one fighter technique you know with a new one of the same tier, in addition to your normal Improvement.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Leadership
At 7th level, your convictions can rouse your allies to even greater deeds. Whenever a friendly creature within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll or saving throw, you can expend 1 stamina point to add a d4 bonus die to that roll. The creature must be able to hear and understand you to gain this benefit.
Inspire
Starting from 7th level, you can impel your allies' will to fight. You can spend 1 minute inspiring up to 10 friendly creatures (optionally including yourself), granting each an amount of temporary heart points equal to your fighter level + your Charisma modifier. The recipients must be able to hear and understand you to gain this benefit.
You have enough moxie to inspire your allies up to three times before you must rest. You regain all uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.
Indomitable
Beginning at 9th level, you can re-roll a saving throw you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 18th level.
Action Surge
Starting at 11th level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Conviction
Starting from 11th level, you have resistance to all damage dealt to you by a creature you're compelling to a duel.
Inspired Leader
As an experienced captain, you are galvanized by the aid of your allies. Starting from 15th level, you gain 10 temporary heart points whenever another creature restores your heart points or uses the Help action to benefit you.
Beacon of Hope
Starting from 15th level, while a target is compelled to duel with you, no other creature can be charmed by or frightened of the target. If these conditions exist when your compulsion starts, they immediately end.
Great Strikes
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Starting from 17th level, your target strikes can become devastatingly powerful. When you make a target strike, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If you do so and the attack hits, it deals an extra 10 damage.
Champion
At 19th level, your maximums for your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores all increase by 2. At this level you can also increase two of these scores by 1 or one of these scores by 2.
Heroic Presence
At 20th level, you can compel a creature to a duel whenever you roll initiative regardless of distance. Whenever you compel a new creature to a duel, doing so does not end the effect on the previous creature.Table: The Darknut

Your heart point maximum increases by 3, and it increases by an additional 1 every time you gain a fighter level after this.
Armor Expertise
A darknut is often defined by the ability to forge and improve its own armor. Starting from 2nd level, you have proficiency with smith's tools, and are an expert on any ability check made with them to create, modify, or repair armor. If you are already proficient with these tools, you can either gain 1 proficiency point or become proficient in any other artisan's tool of your choice.
Stalwart Defense
At 3rd level, you gain the Armored Defense and Knuckle Defense fighting styles. If you already have either fighting style, in its place you gain an additional fighting style of your choice.

Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Darknut Armor
Starting at 7th level, you become able to enhance medium or heavy armor you can wear. You can do so over the course of a long rest if you have access to smith's tools. Armor you have enhanced is called “darknut armor.” While you wear your darknut armor, you gain two benefits:
- Whenever you take damage other than poison or psychic, you can lose stamina points instead of heart points. For each stamina point lost, you lose 5 fewer heart points.
- If a spell or magic effect specifically targets your armor (as opposed to you), you have advantage on any saving throw against that spell. If the spell does not allow a saving throw, you are afforded a Constitution saving throw to ignore the effect of the spell on your armor.
Your darknut armor is designed for your body and combat style. No one else gains these benefits if they wear the armor.
Indomitable
Beginning at 9th level, you can re-roll a saving throw you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Body Blow

Steadfast
At 11th level, you learn to stand your ground with superhuman moxie. While you are wearing your darknut armor, you have advantage on any Strength ability check or saving throw made to avoid being moved or knocked prone.
Truly Indomitable
Starting at 15th level, whenever you use your Indomitable feature and your new saving throw fails, you can expend 5 stamina points to succeed instead.
Snap Throw
At 15th level, you learn to put your momentum and strength into a forceful weapon throw. When a creature moves within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to throw a melee weapon you're wielding at that creature. Make a ranged weapon attack roll using Strength, including your proficiency bonus. A hit deals the weapon's normal damage using Strength, and reduces the target's speed to 0 until the start of your next turn.
Once you make a snap throw, you can't attempt another one until you finish a short or long rest.
Great Strikes

Impervious
At 20th level, your armor is honed into an unbelievably extraordinary barrier against all forms of damage, even those which aren't physical. While you wear your darknut armor, all attack rolls against you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on all saving throws made to reduce or avoid damage.Table: The Magic Knight

Stamina Spellcasting

You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a magic knight spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.
Cantrips
You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from the magic knight spell list. You learn a third cantrip from this list at 7th level, and a fourth at 11th level.
Powered Spells Known
At 3rd level, you know two 2-point spells of your choice from the magic knight spell list.
Drawing from this list, you learn a new spell at every odd-numbered list thereafter. You must choose a 3-point spell at 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th levels; a 5-point spell at 13th and 15th levels; one 6-point spell at 17th level; and one 7-point spell at 19th level. Your magic is less flexible than dedicated spellcasters, and consequently you cannot opt for a spell of lower or higher points.
Still, whenever you gain the Improvement feature from the fighter class, you can choose to replace one of these spells with another of the same point-value, so long as both spells appear on your magic knight spell list.
Overpowering a Spell
You can cast a powered spell with more stamina points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend stamina points in excess of your Magic Limit.
For example, consider fireball, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to increase the damage it deals.
Versatile Casting
You can supply the somatic components of your magic knight spells even when you have a weapon or shield in one or both hands.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and every even-numbered fighter level thereafter as shown in the fighter table, your fighting capabilities evolve. You gain one of the following improvements:
- Increase two of your ability scores of your choice by 1, or one ability score by 2.
- Master one or two martial techniques. If you choose to master only one technique, increase one of your ability scores by 1.
- Master a new fighting style.
- Gain a feat.
This feature cannot increase any ability score above 20 unless you have a feature that increases your maximum score for that ability.
Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace any one fighter technique you know with a new one of the same tier, in addition to your normal Improvement.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Life
Starting at 7th level, you can use up some of your natural stamina reserves to enable more potent magical healing. As an action, you can expend one of your Heart Containers (or "Hit Dice") to cast the life spell without expending magic or stamina points, using Intelligence as your spellcasting ability. You cannot empower life when you cast it in this way, and it does not otherwise count as a magic knight spell.
Any Heart Containers you expend on this feature cannot otherwise be used during a short rest, but are still restored when you finish a long rest.
War Magic
Beginning at 7th level, when you use your action to activate a rod or cast a cantrip, you can use your bonus action to make one weapon attack.
Indomitable
Beginning at 9th level, you can re-roll a saving throw you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 18th level.
Action Surge
Starting at 11th level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Spellstrike
At 11th level, you learn to focus your spell attacks the same way you can target your weapon attacks. Just before making a spell attack roll with a rod or a magic knight spell, you can make it a spellstrike by expending 2 stamina points.
If a spellstrike hits, the damage roll is maximized (e.g., treat 1d10 simply as 10), including any extra dice rolled as part of a critical hit or from other sources. Your DM may enable alternate or additional effects for a spellstrike, as with target strikes.
Improved War Magic
Starting at 15th level, when you use your action to activate a rod or cast any magic knight spell, you can use your bonus action to make one weapon attack.
Great Strikes
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Starting from 17th level, your target strikes can become devastatingly powerful. When you make a target strike, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If you do so and the attack hits, it deals an extra 10 damage.
Champion
At 19th level, your maximums for your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores all increase by 2. At this level you can also increase two of these scores by 1 or one of these scores by 2.
Boundless Spellcraft
At 20th level, learn two more cantrips, and learn three powered spells of your choice up to 7-points (or 5th level). These new spells can be from the magic knight spell list or any researcher spell list. You can cast these spells using stamina points instead of magic points, and Intelligence is your casting ability for them, but they otherwise do not count as as magic knight spells unless they appear on the magic knight spell list.
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace a magic knight spell you know with a new one. The new spell must have the same points (or be the same level) as the spell it replaces. You can replace both cantrips and powered spells with this feature.

You start with a backpack and common clothes. You also have either (a) 1,000 rupees' worth of equipment you choose, or (b) one option from each of the following lines:
- (a) ring mail with two handaxes, or (b) partial armor and a shortbow with 20 arrows
- (a) a broadsword and an iron shield, (b) a greatsword, (c) two shortswords, or (d) any one martial melee weapon

(b) 50 feet of rope fastened to a grappling hook, 10 iron spikes, a hammer, and a shovel; or (c) a bullseye lantern, 5 pints of oil, and a tinderbox
If your campaign focuses on survival, you also start with the following equipment for free: 10 days of rations, 4 bottles full of water, a mess kit, and a bedroll.
Hearts
- Heart Containers: 1d10 per fighter level
- Heart Points at 1st Level: 10 + Constitution modifier
- Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 (or 6) + Constitution modifier per fighter level after 1st. If your 1d10 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.
Proficiencies
Some warriors in Hyrule forgo traditional armor to instead defend themselves with agility, cunning, panache, or sheer toughness. Instead of gaining proficiency with all armor and shields, you can elect to only gain proficiency with light armor and shields (but not heavy shields) to gain the following benefit: While you aren't wearing armor, your AC is never lower than 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (whichever is highest). Any shield can add to this AC. |
If fighter is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to any from your proficiency points.
- Armor: All armor and shields, including heavy shields
- Weapons: All simple and martial weapons, plus bombs
- Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution
- Tools: Choose one from any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, or any one vehicle
While specialized fist-fighters are uncommon in Hyrule, you might count among them. You can forgo gaining proficiency with martial weapons to instead gain the Unarmed Fighting style. |
Proficiency Points
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background. If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in any any two skills from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background. |
If fighter is your first class, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 7 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of points.
During character creation or during downtime, you can invest these points to become proficient.
- You can invest 1 point to become proficient in one of the following: Athletics, History, any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
- You can invest 2 points to become proficient in one of the following: any professional tool, or any skill from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival.
- You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.
Retraining
Heroes don't always retain their skills forever. Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new skills. Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature. Doing so lets you regain the points you invested. You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.
If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.
Stamina Gauge
You have a number of stamina points equal to your fighter level.
If fighter is your first class (see multiclassing), you also add your Constitution modifier to your number of stamina points. If your Constitution modifier later increases, so too does your number of stamina points.
You can use your stamina points to perform target strikes or to use other class features. Normally all of your stamina points are replenished when you complete a short or long rest.
Target Strike
Just before making an attack roll with a weapon or an unarmed strike, you can make a target strike either by expending 2 stamina points, or by taking disadvantage on the attack roll. You cannot make a target strike if the attack roll would have disadvantage anyway, nor if any effect imposes a -5 penalty to the attack roll.
A target strike generally aims for wherever the target is most vulnerable, such as gaps in a warrior's armor, or the exposed eye of a huge monster. This kind of target strike maximizes the damage dice rolled on a hit (e.g., treat 1d8 as simply 8), including any extra dice rolled as part of a critical hit or from other sources. Your narrator may enable alternate or additional effects for a target strike.
Sprint
As a bonus action, you can expend 1 stamina point to Dash, Disengage, or Search.
Fighting Style
At 1st level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty from the options listed on the Fighting Styles page.
You can gain additional fighting styles through your Improvement feature but you can never gain the same fighting style multiple times.
Fighters always evolve their strategies to face new challenges. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one fighting style you know with a new one.
Sharpshooting
At 2nd level, you gain one fighting style of your choice from Archery, Sniping and Potshot. At 3rd level, you gain another fighting style from these three.
Ammo Savvy
By 3rd level, you're sharp enough to always have enough ammunition on hand. You somehow always have enough ammunition available for your weapons, and do not need to expend pieces of nonmagical ammunition to attack with weapons that have the ammunition property.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and every even-numbered fighter level thereafter as shown in the fighter table, your fighting capabilities evolve. You gain one of the following improvements:
- Increase two of your ability scores of your choice by 1, or one ability score by 2.
- Master one or two martial techniques. If you choose to master only one technique, increase one of your ability scores by 1.
- Master a new fighting style.
- Gain a feat.
This feature cannot increase any ability score above 20 unless you have a feature that increases your maximum score for that ability.
Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace any one fighter technique you know with a new one of the same tier, in addition to your normal Improvement.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Volley
At 7th level, you learn to unleash an unstoppable flurry of projectiles. After you use your Attack action to make two ranged weapon attacks, you use your bonus action to make a volley.
During this bonus action, you can make a number of attacks up to but not exceeding your proficiency bonus by expending 2 stamina points for each one. You can't move between volley attacks, and must decide on all attacks and targets before you make any attack roll for the volley.
Every hit of a volley deals 1d10 damage of the weapon's normal damage type. You only add your ability modifier or any other bonus to the damage roll if it's the first time this turn you've hit that creature.
Indomitable
Beginning at 9th level, you can re-roll a saving throw you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 18th level.
Action Surge
Starting at 11th level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Battle Instinct
From 11th level onward, add your proficiency bonus to your initiative if you don't already.
Barrage
At 11th level, you learn the Revali's Barrage technique.
Maneuver
Starting from 15th level, you can always escape to a better position. For every 5 feet you move, you can expend 1 stamina point to ignore difficult terrain and prevent that movement from provoking any opportunity attack.
Ammo Expert
At 15th level, you become an expert with woodworker's tools. Any attack you make that uses ammunition ignores damage resistance, and your ammunition is always considered a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage immunity.
Great Strikes
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Starting from 17th level, your target strikes can become devastatingly powerful. When you make a target strike, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If you do so and the attack hits, it deals an extra 10 damage.
Champion
At 19th level, your maximums for your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores all increase by 2. At this level you can also increase two of these scores by 1 or one of these scores by 2.
Volley Storm
At 20th level, when you make a volley, all attacks are automatically target strikes without needing to expend extra stamina points.Table: The Tunic

You also gain proficiency with one musical instrument of your choice.
Tunic Techniques
Tunics are defined by their employment of fantastical combat maneuvers. Although all fighters can employ some techniques, none could hope to match your versatility and skill. At 2nd level, you can learn any two martial techniques of your choice. You can learn two more techniques every three fighter levels hereafter: 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, and 17th.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short rest before you can use it again.
Indomitable

Heart Points at Later Levels: d8 (or 5) plus your Constitution modifier. If you roll a 1 on the d8, reroll it until you roll a result other than 1.
In the Hyrule Ruleset, there is no armor proficiency: all heroes can wear any armor, and heavy attire only hinders spells and specific features—such as your Flank feature. In a campaign that doesn't use the Hyrule Ruleset, as an opportunist you're proficient with all armor. |
Proficiencies
If opportunist is your initial class, you start with proficiency in the following:
Saves: Dexterity and Intelligence
Weapons: all simple weapons, all martial melee weapons with the finesse property, and the shortbow
Skills: You have proficiency in any three skills of your choice, plus any one tool of your choice.
Choose one more skill or tool if you have Intelligence 13 or higher, and yet one more if you have Intelligence 17 or higher. You also gain this benefit if your Intelligence score later increases to these amounts.
Starting Items
If this is your initial class and you're starting at 1st level, you start with the following items worn or carried.
If you prefer, you forgo these starting items and can choose your own equipment using a budget of 1000 rupees (or 4d4 × 100 rp).
- boots, a cap, a tunic, and 2 daggers
- (a) a shortbow, (b) a broadsword, or (c) a shortsword and 2 more daggers
- (a) a sneaky elixir, (b) a small key, or (c) any artisan's tool or musical instrument
- common clothes, 2 rations, 2 bottles of water, and 10 rupees
Reactions
If opportunist is your initial class, you can make these reactions:
Landing Roll. When you hit the ground after Falling at least 10 feet, you can use a reaction to arrest your fall with an acrobatic roll. For each opportunist level you have, treat the fall as being 10 feet less than it is.
Opportunity Attack. When a creature within 5 feet of you moves away from you, as your reaction you can make one melee weapon attack or unarmed strike targeting that creature. The attack is made right before the creature leaves a 5-foot radius around you.
Rebound. If you are knocked Prone, you can use a reaction to immediately recover from being Prone.
Take Cover. If a creature you can see targets you with a ranged attack, as your reaction you can either drop Prone, or move up to 5 feet if doing so gives you more advantageous cover against that attack. This reaction must be announced before the attack roll is revealed.
Flank
You can exploit an enemy’s split focus for more effective attacks. If you and an ally are both within 5 feet of an enemy, that enemy is “Exposed” to all attacks.
While an enemy is Exposed, all attacks targeting it have a +2 bonus to the attack roll — unless the attack roll is affected by advantage, disadvantage, or cover. This is summarized in the Exposed condition.
An ally can’t help you flank if it is Tiny, Incapacitated, or mounted. You can’t flank if you’re Incapacitated wearing more than 1 piece of heavy attire. (If your campaign isn’t using the Hyrule Ruleset, this means you can’t flank while wearing heavy armor.)
Fortes
If opportunist is your initial class, you can choose two skills or tools with which you are proficient to become your fortes. Whenever you make an ability check using one of your fortes, add a d4 bonus die to the result. “Bonus dice” don’t stack. If you have multiple effects granting bonus dice to a single roll, you apply only one of them.
- At 5th level you gain one more forte of your choice, even if opportunist isn’t your initial class. The d4 also becomes a d6.
- At 10th level you gain yet another forte of your choice, and the d6 becomes a d8.
Whenever you earn a forte, instead of gaining the normal benefit, you can instead choose to gain a savvy forte from the options in the table below.
Savvy Fortes
Each savvy forte is summarized below. Click a savvy forte's name for the full effect.
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Open Palm
You can employ unexpected weapons and clever tricks to gain the upper hand in battle. While you aren’t wielding a shield, you gain these benefits:
Disarm. When you use a free hand to hit a creature with an unarmed strike, instead of dealing damage you can force that creature to make a Dexterity save against your Dexterity DC. On a failure the creature is Disarmed: it drops a held item, object, or Grappled creature. If there are multiple, you decide which.
Handy Finesse. You can add either your Strength or Dexterity modifier to attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strike and any improvised weapon.
Surprise Weapon. When you first attack with an improvised weapon you acquired from the nearby environment since the start of your last turn, or a weapon you took from an enemy since the start of your last turn, the target is Exposed to the attack. You lose this benefit on all subsequent attacks with the same improvised weapon.
Sneakstrike
Starting from 2nd level, you can exploit an unguarded enemy to hit with a walloping blow or an exposed weak point.
As an action, you can make a weapon attack or unarmed strike against a creature if it is Exposed to your attack or if you have advantage on the attack roll. The creature must also be within 20 feet of you.
On a hit, add 1d8 damage as a bonus die. If multiple effects add bonus dice to a damage roll, they don’t stack—add only one of them. This bonus damage increases by 1d8 at every even-numbered opportunist level, as shown in the opportunist table.
Some monsters have a “weak point” and suffer extra effects from a sneakstrike, as detailed in their stat blocks. Your narrator might otherwise add effects for sneakstrikes in some circumstances.
Edge
Also starting from 2nd level, you can gain an edge in combat. You either have an edge or you don't. It doesn't stack. You gain an edge whenever you accomplish any of the following:
- Sneakstrike. You damage an enemy with your sneakstrike.
- Help. An ally makes an attack roll with advantage thanks to your Help action. You gain the edge when they make the roll, not when you use the action.
- Cover. Cover you have makes the difference between an enemy’s attack hitting you and missing.
- Environmental Damage. You damage or knock Prone an enemy using objects or hazards in the environment. This includes using an improvised weapon you took from the environment since this combat began.
On Edge
While you have an edge, you're so swift and smooth that enemies can't use reactions triggered by your actions or movement (except for boss reactions).
Edge Action
While you’re on edge, you can take an extra action on each of your turns in combat called an Edge Action. This action can only be Dash, Hide, Search, or Use.
Push the Edge
Immediately before you make an attack roll, you can expend your edge (losing it) to gain advantage on that attack roll.
Over the Edge
If while you have an edge you would fall to 0 heart points, you can lose your edge and drop to 1 heart point instead. You must finish a rest before you can go over the edge again.
Losing the Edge
If your speed is reduced to 0, you can't gain an edge, and you lose any edge you have. You also lose your edge when combat ends.
Subclass
At 3rd level, you choose a specialty to adopt as your subclass. Your chosen subclass grants you features now and again at 6th, 9th, and 12th levels as shown in the opportunist table. .
Decide one subclass from the following options. Each of these is detailed on its own page. On the opportunist table above you can select a tab to show the features provided by a subclass integrated into this class.
- As an assassin, you infiltrate enemy territory to deliver a single lethal sneakstrike to an unsuspecting foe.
- As a beastmaster, you tame a mighty beast as your cohort, who can help you flank.
- As a face, you boldly lead your party through social situations—but you'll be relying on your party in combat.
- As a garo, you wield supernatural arts like invisibility, walls of fire, and bombs. Sharp Intelligence is needed.
- As an investigator, you excel at ability checks, ritual spells, and uncovering truths. You don't fight so well.
- As a monk, your body is a temple capable of mystical powers and swift unarmed strikes. Wisdom is vital.
- As a nomad, you scout, track, travel, and manipulate environments. But you don’t care much for combat.
- As a skirmisher, you specialize in battlefield mobility and down-to-earth fighting skills.
Improvement
If you’d prefer something reliable, focus on increasing your Dexterity. It's vital to your attacks and your main defense. |
When you reach 4th level, your opportunistic competence grows. Gain one of the following improvements of your choice. This feature cannot increase any ability score above your ability score’s maximum, which is initially 20.
- Ability Scores. Increase two of your ability scores of your choice by 1, or one ability score by 2.
- Forte. Increase any of your ability scores by 1. Adopt another forte or savvy forte.
- Feat. Gain a feat of your choice.
- Synergized Feats. Gain 2 feats. Both feats must normally increase one of your ability scores by 1, and you must ignore this benefit from both feats.
You gain another improvement of your choice at 8th level and again at 12th level, as shown in the opportunist table.
Scheme
At 5th level, you employ a scheme from the options listed below. You employ another scheme of your choice at 7th and 9th level, as shown in the opportunist table. At 11th level you instead employ a grand scheme.
List of Schemes
Each scheme is summarized below. Click a scheme's name for the full effect.
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Sharper Edge
Also at 5th level, you learn to put your Edge to even better use. You can use your Edge Action to either sidestep or make a handy strike.
Sidestep. If you choose to sidestep, you have damage resistance to the first melee attack that hits you before the start of your next turn. Having resistance to damage means you lose half as many heart points from that damage.
Handy Strike. Using a free hand, you make an unarmed strike. On a hit you can Disarm, Grapple, Shove, or knock Prone the target of your attack—but not deal direct damage.
Elusive
Beginning at 7th level, you can slip away from thunderous explosions and psychic barrages virtually unharmed. Whenever you would make any save to halve the damage you take, you instead take half damage on a failed save and no damage on a success.
Escape Artist
Starting from 10th level, you have advantage on every saving throw you make to end or escape an ongoing effect on yourself; such as a Dexterity save to end the Grappled condition, a Constitution save to end the Poisoned condition, or a Charisma save to escape the effect of an ongoing spell. This feature doesn't help you avoid the effect when it starts, but only to end or escape the effect once it has already started.
Grand Scheme
Upon reaching 11th level, you employ a grand scheme from the options below. Each grand scheme is only summarized in the table. Click a scheme's name for the full effect.
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Many Masks
By 12th level you have become a master of countless skills and arts, and can switch between them with only a bit of preparation. From now on, as a downtime activity you can do any one of the following:- Replace one skill proficiency you have with another skill.
- Replace one tool proficiency you have with another tool.
- Replace one forte (or alternative forte) with another forte.
- Replace one scheme you know with another scheme.
- Replace your grand scheme with another grand scheme. This requires you to expend all of your Heart Dice, and they aren’t restored during this downtime.
Researcher
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
You can quickly make a researcher with these suggestions.
|
Unlike a sage or scion who is gifted their supernatural powers, a researcher proactively learns, studies, and practices the esoteric art of spellcasting. Because a researcher is a master of their own power, a researcher’s spells can be particularly potent, but they distinctly lack some of the defensive or restorative magic that can only be obtained from a higher power.
Clear Mind, Murky Reputation
Researchers’ unusual practices and weirdly inquisitive nature is often off-putting to common folk, but those aware of their supernatural powers have good reason to put respect on their name.
When making your character, consider what could drive this passionate curiosity, or this reckless thirst for supernatural power, in a world that doesn’t understand it.

Heart Points
Heart Dice: d4 per researcher level
Heart Points at 1st Level: 4 plus your Constitution modifier
Heart Points at Later Levels: d4 (or 3) plus your Constitution modifier. If you roll a 1 on the d4, reroll it until you roll a result other than 1.
Proficiencies
If opportunist is your initial class, you start with proficiency in the following:
Saves: Intelligence and Wisdom
Weapons: book, bug net, club, staff, slingshot
Skills: You have proficiency in the Arcana skill, plus one skill of your choice from Engineering, Investigation, Lore, and Medicine.
Choose one more skill if you have Intelligence 17 or higher. You also gain this benefit if your Intelligence score later increases to 17.
Starting Items
If this is your initial class and you're starting at 1st level, you start with the following items worn or carried.
If you prefer, you forgo these starting items and can choose your own equipment using a budget of 1000 rupees (or 4d4 × 100 rp).
- (a) a staff and a slingshot or (b) a book
- medicine of magic
- a hooded lantern, a tinderbox, an ink pen, and 10 sheets of paper
- (a) a bomb, (b) a small key, or (c) any artisan's tool or musical instrument
- common clothes, 2 rations, 2 bottles of water, and 10 rupees
Reactions
If researcher is your initial class, you can make these reactions:
Counter Spell. If a creature you can see within 60 feet of you uses its action to cast a spell or make a spell attack, you can expend 1 magic point to interfere with the casting. The creature must succeed on a Constitution save against your Intelligence DC or lose its action with no effect. The creature doesn't lose any resource it would have consumed to cast the spell, such as magic points or a material component.
Shield. When you take damage from a creature you can see, as a reaction you can expend 1 magic point to surround yourself in a colorful barrier that gives you resistance to all damage dealt to you by that creature until the start of your next turn. You can’t use this reaction if you’re already wielding a shield.
Study Spell. When you witness a spell being cast, as a reaction you can make an Intelligence (Arcana) check to identify the spell as it's being cast. The DC for this check equals 10 + the spell's point cost. On a success, you not only learn the spell's effects, but you also gain advantage on any save imposed on you by this casting of the spell.
Magic Meter
You must expend magic points to cast spells of 1p or higher, and to use other class features like some of your reactions.
If you camp as long rest, you regain magic points until you have half of your maximum. If you finish downtime as a long rest, you instead regain all magic points.
Spellcasting
As one who investigates and studies magic, you recite incantations and manipulate material components in ways that require mentally-demanding practice and memorization.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your casting ability for researcher spells, as you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.
Saving Throws. When any creature makes a saving throw against any spell you cast, it's made against your Intelligence DC. Your Intelligence DC equals 8 + your PB + your Intelligence modifier. Whenever your PB or Intelligence modifier increases, your Intelligence DC increases too.
Spell Attack Rolls. When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your PB and your Intelligence modifier. A spell attack roll otherwise works just like making any other attack.
Max Spell
If you multiclass, your max spell is tracked separately for each class’s spells, but your magic points are shared between all spells. |
Your max spell is the most powerful spell you can cast. Your max spell is initially 1p, meaning you can’t cast a powered spell that costs more than 1 magic point. As shown in the researcher table your max spell increases by 1 every level, until it reaches 5p at 5th level. After reaching 5p your max spell increases again only at 7th level and 9th level, becoming 6p and 7p respectively.
Cantrips
If researcher is your initial class, you initially know 2 cantrips, chosen from the options in the table below. You learn more cantrips as your level increases, as shown in the researcher table: two more at 2nd level, one more at 5th level, and finally one more at 11th level. Starting at 2nd level you can choose from cantrips provided by your school of research, in addition to the options below.
- List of Starter Cantrips
Each cantrip is summarized below. Click each cantrip's name for the full effect.
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Powered Spells Known
If researcher is your initial class, you know a number of 1-point spells equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier, chosen from options in the table blow below. If your Intelligence modifier ever permanently increases, you learn another 1-point spell from these options. If researcher isn’t your initial class, you only learn 1 of these spells.
- List of 1-Point Researcher Spells
Each spell is summarized below. Click each spell's name for the full effect.
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
More Powered Spells
Starting at 2nd level you learn spells of 2-points and higher from your chosen school of research, which are more powerful but also more taxing to cast.
As shown in the researcher table, starting at 2nd level you learn 2 new spells. Starting at 6th level you only learn 1 new spell each level. At 12th level, you instead learn incredibly powerful wonders.
Any new spells you learn this way must have a point-value equal to your current max spell, also shown in the researcher table.
Replacing Spells
As a downtime activity, you can replace one cantrip or powered spell you've learned from this class with another you would be able to learn. The new spell must have the same point-value as the one it replaces. Starting from 2nd level you can replace your starter cantrips with cantrips granted by your school of research, or vice versa.
Wise Defense
You can predict and read opponents' attacks to evade them, rather than rely primarily on your reaction time or nimbleness of movement.
When you would add your Dexterity modifier to your AC, you can choose to add your Wisdom modifier instead. You don't benefit if you already add your Wisdom modifier to your AC due to another effect, such as with a champion’s unarmored defense.
School of Research
When you reach 2nd level, you decide on a School of Research that represents the area of study or the type of magic upon which you focus your efforts the most. Your choice greatly expands your spell list, allowing you to learn from a wider variety of spells than before. Starting from this level you can choose cantrips and powered spells from your school's spell list.
Aside from your expanded spell list your chosen school grants other features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 9th, and 11th level as shown in the researcher table.
Decide on one school from the following options. Each of these is detailed on its own page. On the researcher table above you can select a tab to show the features provided by a school integrated into this class.
- As a cultist, you devote yourself to a fanatical ideal, and exert this ideal through your Charisma. Your spells often manipulate the minds of others.
- As a technomancer, you specialize in enhancing weapons and armor, and are more martially adept than most researchers.
- As a twimage, you study arcane magic that was lost long ago when its practitioners were banished. Your spells manipulate space, light, and physics.
- As a garo, you wield supernatural arts like invisibility, walls of fire, and bombs. Sharp Intelligence is needed.
- As a witch, you have mastery over flight, poisons, and potions. Witchcraft is the only school with access to true healing spells.
- As a wizzrobe, you hone an art of raw, destructive magic drawn from the elements. Many Hyruleans see wizzrobes as nothing but destructive monsters.
Upcasting
Some researcher spells you learn have an "Upcast" feature in their description. Starting from 2nd level, you can empower such spells by expending extra magic points when you cast them. The grease spell for example covers a wider area when upcast from 1p to 2p. The total number of magic points you expend on a spell still can't exceed your max spell.
Magic Recovery
Starting from 3rd level, whenever you expend one or more researcher Heart Dice as part of a short rest to regain heart points, you regain 1 magic point for each Heart Die expended this way.
Mighty Magic
At 3rd level, your max spell for researcher spells becomes 3p. Spells of 3-points and higher can be particularly powerful, but are particularly taxing to cast—until you get used to casting them.
Whenever you cast a 3p spell, you must finish a short rest before you can cast another 3p spell. This applies to spells upcast to 3p as well.
This limit only applies to your current max spell. For example once your max spell becomes 4p, you must rest between each casting of a 4p spell, but you no longer have a need to rest between 3p spells.
Improvement
If you’d prefer something reliable, focus on increasing your Intelligence. Your Intelligence modifier directly improves the effectiveness of most spells you cast. If you're having difficulty staying above 0 heart points, increasing your Constitution can be even more useful. |
When you reach 4th level, your studies come to fruition in an improvement. Choose from one of the following options. This feature cannot increase any ability score above 20, unless an effect first increases your maximum score for that ability.
- Ability Scores. Increase one of your ability scores by 2, or two of your ability scores by 1 each.
- Spells. Increase any ability score by 1. Learn two cantrips, two 1-point spells, or one of each. These can be either normal researcher options or options afforded by your school of research.
- Extra Studies. Increase any ability score by 1. Gain one benefit from your Studied Skill feature.
- Feat. Gain a feat.
You gain another improvement of your choice at 8th level and again at 12th level, as shown in the researcher table. You can gain the same improvement multiple times.
Studied Skill
At 6th level, your further studies grant you greater expertise in a practical area of study. Choose one skill from Arcana, Engineering, Investigation, Lore, Medicine, and Wilderness. If you're proficient in the chosen skill, you add a d6 bonus die to all ability checks made using that skill. “Bonus dice” don’t stack. If you have multiple effects granting bonus dice to a single roll, you apply only one of them.
If you lack or lose proficiency in the chosen skill, you also lack or lose this benefit until you regain proficiency.
Your studied skills improve at 8th, 10th, and 12th levels. At each of these levels you can gain another studied skill of your choice and the bonus die increases one step: becoming d8 at 8th level, d10 at 10th level, and d12 at 12th level.
Alternate Studies
Whenever you would gain a studied skill, instead of the normal benefit you can opt for one of the alternate studies below. Each alternate study is only summarized here; click on a study's name for the full effect.
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Magic Jars
Once you reach 7th level, you can augment your magic recovery with specialized jars of your concentrated magic energy, and these jars can be used by others. Whenever you finish downtime, you create a number of magic jars equal to half your researcher level (rounded down). Each jar is a light item weighing 1 pound, and can't be sold.
Whenever you or another creature finishes a short rest, they can consume a number of your magic jars up to the number of Heart Dice expended on the short rest. For each jar consumed, the creature regains d4 magic points (if they have any). If you drink a magic jar, this benefit adds to your magic recovery, so you regain d4 + 1 magic points.
When you finish downtime, any jars that remain unconsumed will spoil and become useless, but are replaced with your new set.
Spell Repel
At 10th level, your talent and practice with spells enables you to repel damage from them with enviable ease. Spell attack rolls targeting you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on all saving throws against spells.
Wonders
Upon reaching 12th level, you learn two powerful spells called wonders, chosen from your school’s spell list. Although wonders are exceptionally powerful and draining, casting one doesn’t cost magic points and doesn’t count against your mighty magic rest limits. Instead, once you cast a wonder, you can't cast any wonder again until you finish downtime.
Sage
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
You can quickly make a sage with these suggestions.
|
Compared to other spellcasters like a researcher or scion, an experienced sage can change what spells they can cast relatively easily, allowing adaption to new situations each day.
A Tradition Touched by the Divine
In ancient times, the gods blessed a small handful of people with sacred magical power. Although these chosen few had little else in common, they all had sound judgment and uncanny wisdom. Due to these similarities, the chosen few have historically become known as the Sacred Sages. It is believed by some that these few eventually earned such immense magical power that they became immortal and now dwell eternally in the Sacred Realm as guardians of our reality.
In the countless generations that have passed, few beings have been granted the immense and distinct power of these legendary Sacred Sages. Nonetheless, there have been a few who have manifested similar magical capabilities of a mysterious, seemingly divine origin. Usually but not always, these magical capabilities originate when the individual completes a great task of faith or willpower, such as a pilgrimage or an act of self-sacrifice. For some, the powers awaken upon earning a mystical gemstone or another powerful treasure that unlocks their latent abilities. From the point this supernatural power manifests, that individual is known as a sage. It is believed by some that all sages can somehow trace their lineage back to the Sacred Sages, whether by blood or spirit.

Hearts
- Heart Containers: 1d8 per scion level
- Heart Points at 1st Level: 8 + Constitution modifier
- Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution modifier per scion level after 1st. If your 1d8 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.
Proficiency
If scion is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your progenitor and proficiency points.
- Armor: Light armor
- Weapons: Simple weapons, rods; you can use Charisma as your casting ability with rods instead of Intelligence
- Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
Proficiency Points
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background. If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in two skills of your choice from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background. |
If your first class level is gained as a scion, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 5 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of proficiency points. During character creation or during downtime, you can expend proficiency points to become proficient.
- You can invest 1 point to become proficient with any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
- You can invest 2 points to become proficient with any professional tool or in any skill from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion.
- You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.
Retraining
Heroes don't always retain their skills forever. Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new means. Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature. Doing so lets you regain the points you invested. You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.
If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.
Progenitor
At 1st level, you choose a progenitor that is the source of your supernatural powers. Your progenitor is the type of great being whose power you have inherited, whether through happenstance or choice, through ancestry or action, through violent means or a benevolent blessing. You likely do not still have contact with your individual progenitor, but perhaps you do—this is something you can decide with your DM. Your choice of progenitor functions as your scion subclass.
Your choice of progenitor decides what spells you can learn, as different scions share very few spells with one another. Your progenitor also grants additional proficiencies, borne of the supernatural talents that your progenitor has seeded in you. As your capabilities grow and you better understand the powers of your progenitor, you gain additional features at 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels.
Each progenitor is covered in detail on its own, separate page linked in the list below. Each subclass of scion also has an affinity for certain creatures as highlighted in the list. Your affinity type may affect features and spells you gain at later levels.
- An armos scion draws strength from ancient constructs such as armos, beamos, and guardians. Clever yet stalwart, these scions are effective at enduring dangers and overcoming the abnormal.
- A dragon scion inherits the might of powerful dragons, ranging anywhere from aquamentus to dinraal. Aggressive abilities prove useful for tearing apart enemies.
- A fairy scion receives the talents and blessings of fairies, from the slightest tiny fairy to possibly even the revered fairy queen. Not even sages can match a fairy scion's restorative powers.
- A poe scion amasses power from undead monsters, most infamously poes and redead. Poe scions wield unrivaled power over the barrier of life and death, and can even raise undead to their bidding.
To see how the scion class looks when merged with progenitor features, click one of the tabs near the top of this page.
Magic Meter
At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 0). If your Charisma later increases, so too does your number of magic points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 2 more magic points.
Your magic points are expended primarily in spellcasting. Normally any magic points you've expended are fully replenished when you finish a long rest. Some features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.
Spellcasting
Some players may prefer traditional spell slot levels over Hyrulean magic points. If this is the case for you, the following adjustments. Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter or Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast scion spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the ranger and paladin classes do (see SRD or PHB). To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot. Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. |
As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.
Magic Limit
To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.
You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Scion Table.
If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.
Cantrips
You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.
Powered Spells Known
At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Scion Table.
Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.
If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.
Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your progenitor's spell list. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.
You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.
Overpowering a Spell
You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.
For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:
- Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
- Gain a feat of your choice.
- Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
- Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.
Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.
Swift Spells
At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.
When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.
Intuition
By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of a certain kind of creature—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.
Resilience
Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.
At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.
At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.
Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.
Everflowing Spells
At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.
Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).
At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).
Progeny
Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.
With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.
You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.
You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.
Dispelling Touch
At 14th level, you learn to channel your supernatural powers to thwart the power of another. As an action, you can touch a creature to end one spell, curse, bless, or bane affecting that creature. You can choose a specific spell or curse if you're aware of one affecting the target, otherwise the highest-level spell is affected. Once you use this feature to end an effect, you must finish a long rest before it can be used again.
If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.
Immutable Form
By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.

Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background.

These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background. |

You can hold your breath for up to 1 hour.
If you choose, your appearance also becomes significantly more stoic and statuesque: skin that is hard or cold, steely eyes, an artificial-sounding voice, or eerie motionlessness, among other possibilities your DM permits. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.
Statuesque

Starting equipment
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Hearts
- Heart Containers: 1d8 per scion level
- Heart Points at 1st Level: 8 + Constitution modifier
- Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution modifier per scion level after 1st. If your 1d8 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.
Proficiency
If dragon scion is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to any from your and proficiency points.
- Armor: Light and medium armor
- Weapons: Simple weapons, rods; you can use Charisma as your casting ability with rods instead of Intelligence
- Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
- Skills: One of your choice from Animal Handling, Arcana, Athletics, and Intimidation
- Languages: Lizal (or another language of your choice if you already know Lizal)
Proficiency Points
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background. If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in two skills of your choice from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background. |
If your first class level is gained as a scion, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 5 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of proficiency points. During character creation or during downtime, you can expend proficiency points to become proficient.
- You can invest 1 point to become proficient with any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
- You can invest 2 points to become proficient with any professional tool or in any skill from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion.
- You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.
Retraining
Heroes don't always retain their skills forever. Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new means. Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature. Doing so lets you regain the points you invested. You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.
If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.
Magic Meter
At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 0). If your Charisma later increases, so too does your number of magic points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 2 more magic points.
Your magic points are expended primarily in spellcasting. Normally any magic points you've expended are fully replenished when you finish a long rest. Some features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.
Spellcasting
Some players may prefer traditional spell slot levels over Hyrulean magic points. If this is the case for you, the following adjustments. Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter or Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast scion spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the ranger and paladin classes do (see SRD or PHB). To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot. Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. |
As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.
Magic Limit
To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.
You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Dragon Scion Table.
If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.
Cantrips
You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your Dragon Scion Spell List. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.
Powered Spells Known
At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your Dragon Scion Spell List. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Dragon Scion Table.
Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.
If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.
Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your Dragon Scion Spell List. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.
You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.
Overpowering a Spell
You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.
For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.
Raw Power
At 1st level, the bestial power of dragons enhances your physical and magical prowess with two benefits.
When you hit with an unarmed strike, you can deal damage bludgeoning equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier. If both hands are free, the 1d6 is instead a 1d8.
When casting any scion cantrip, you may use Strength in place of your normal spellcasting ability.
Dragon Senses
At 2nd level, your eyes take on a bold glow. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision due to race, its radius increases by 60 feet.
You gain proficiency in the Perception skill. If you are already proficient, you can instead gain proficiency in any other skill of your choice.
Dragon Rage
Although many dragons can be graceful or even serene, pity those who incur their wrath. Starting at 3rd level, you learn to supernaturally bolster your defenses in the throes of battle. Whenever you damage another creature with a powered scion spell (a scion spell that isn't a cantrip), you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from the damaged creature(s) until the start of your next turn.
You can maintain continuous resistance by causing damage every turn with powered scion spells.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:
- Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
- Gain a feat of your choice.
- Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
- Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.
Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.
Swift Spells
At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.
When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.
Intuition
By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of dragons—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.
Altered Body
By 7th level, your body has undergone deep physiological changes. You become immune to harmful magic effects which only affect humanoids, such as the paralyze spell. You are affected by beneficial magic effects which only affect dragons.
If you choose, your appearance becomes significantly more draconian from now on: sharp eyes, fangs, small horns, or even some scaled body parts, among other possibilities your DM permits. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.
Swift Dash
Starting from 7th level, when you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to Dash.
Resilience
Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.
At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.
At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.
Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.
Dragon Shape
By 10th level, you've learned to transform parts of your body into those of a dragon. At the start of each of your turns, you can grow one of the following adaptions:
- Fangs. Claws, fangs, and tail—or any combination thereof—grow from your body. While at least some of these are grown, your unarmed strike can deal slashing damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength modifier.
- Wings. A pair of draconic wings emerge from your back. While present these wings grant you a fly speed of 40 feet. If while flying you are knocked prone, have your speed reduced to 0, or are otherwise deprived of the ability to move, you immediately fall.
- Gills. You grow aquatic adaptations such as gills and fins. While present these grant a swim speed of 60 feet and allow you to breathe underwater as well as on land.
- Legs. Four dragon limbs replace your legs, turning you into something of a draconic centaur. While present these give you a walking speed of 50 feet.
- Eyes. A pair of keen, glowing dragon eyes replace your own. While present you can use your action to gain truesight to a range of 10 feet until the end of your next turn.
- Lungs. A powerful pair of lungs fill your chest, surging with supernatural energy. While present, you can hold you breath for up to 1 hour. A creature that fails a saving throw against your breath of dragons spell takes half the spell's damage. Once per turn, when you cast a scion spell with breath in its name, add a d6 bonus die to the damage roll.
You can only have one of these adaptions at a time, but you can change which one at the start of each of your turns.
Starting at 15th level, you can maintain two of these adaptations at once, but can still change only one of them at the start of each of your turns.
Everflowing Spells
At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.
Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).
At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).
Progeny
Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.
With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.
You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.
You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.
Dispelling Touch
At 14th level, you learn to channel your supernatural powers to thwart the power of another. As an action, you can touch a creature to end one spell, curse, bless, or bane affecting that creature. You can choose a specific spell or curse if you're aware of one affecting the target, otherwise the highest-level spell is affected. Once you use this feature to end an effect, you must finish a long rest before it can be used again.
If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.
Immutable Form
By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.
Great Dragon
You learn to take the greatest form of dragon conceivable, likely far surpassing any dragon that could have served as your own progenitor. At 20th level, you can briefly assume the shape of a Gargantuan dragon at the start of your turn if you are able to take actions, lasting until the start of your next turn. Within this duration:
- You gain the benefits of all your Dragon Shape adaptions at once, and each adaption with a speed has double its normal speed.
- You are immune to all damage other than poison and psychic, and have advantage on all saving throws.
- Your attack rolls all have advantage, and any creature that makes a saving throw against one of your scion spells has disadvantage on the save.
- Any scion spell you cast costs 0 magic points (and does not consume a spell slot), and its damage dice are maximized.
- If you make a Strength (Athletics) check or a Charisma (Intimidation) check, you roll a 20 on the d20 automatically.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot. Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. |
As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.
Magic Limit
To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.
You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Fairy Scion Table.
If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.
Cantrips
You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your Fairy Scion Spell List. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.
Powered Spells Known
At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your Fairy Scion Spell List. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Fairy Scion Table.
Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.
If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.
Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your Fairy Scion Spell List. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.
You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.
Overpowering a Spell
You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.
For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.
Fairy Defense
Your body shimmers with a thin veil of force that thwarts attacks, akin to armor. Your AC cannot be lower than 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can add a shield's bonus to this AC.
Fairy Senses
At 2nd level, you gain an innate understanding of the creatures around you, not unlike a fairy of navigation. You have advantage on any Intelligence check made to identify a creature's capabilities.
You also learn the light cantrip, and it does not count against your cantrips known. If you already know this cantrip, you can instead learn another cantrip of your choice from the Fairy Scion Spell List. When you cast light, its duration becomes "until dispelled."
Great Fairy of Healing
Fairies are exceptionally effective healers, and this begins to show in your capabilities at 3rd level. Whenever dice are rolled to determine the heart points regained from a scion spell you've cast, the roll is maximized. The creature regains the maximum heart points possible from the dice and you need not roll. This effect also applies to any scion spell you cast that grants temporary heart points.
Fairy Fountain
At 3rd level, those resting near you recover rapidly from their injuries. Whenever you or a creature within 60 feet of you finishes a short rest and expends Heart Container to regain heart points, the number rolled for each Heart Container cannot be lower than your Charisma modifier. Example: If a creature rolls a 1d8 for its Heart Container and lands a 2, but your Charisma modifier is +3, the roll is treated as a 3.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:
- Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
- Gain a feat of your choice.
- Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
- Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.
Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.
Swift Spells
At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.
When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.
Intuition
By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of fairies—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.
Altered Body
By 7th level, your body has undergone deep physiological changes. You become immune to harmful magic effects which only affect humanoids, such as the paralyze spell. You are affected by beneficial magic effects which only affect fairies, fey, or celestials.
If you choose, your appearance becomes significantly more fairy-like from now on: hair of pastel colors, movements that shimmer or glow, smooth and pristine skin, graceful movements, or even fairy wings, among other possibilities. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.
Whether you gain wings or not, from now on you have a fly speed of 40 feet. If you already have a fly speed, or otherwise gain one (such as from the fly spell), that speed increases by 20 feet.
Self-Regeneration
At 7th level, you learn to draw out latent magical energy to heal yourself. When you cast any scion spell, you regain heart points equal to the number of magic points you expended. If you are already at full heart points, the excess is gained as temporary heart points. As normal, temporary heart points doesn't combine—any larger amount simply replaces a lesser amount.
Resilience
Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.
At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.
At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.
Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.
Radiant Surge
At 10th level, you learn to exert your healing capabilities into a powerful weapon. If you would restore heart points to a creature with a scion spell you've cast, you can instead cause that spell to deal harm. If you do so, the creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes damage equal to the heart points the spell would otherwise restore to the creature if it was humanoid. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage if it is undead or a fiend, and no damage if it is another creature type.
If a spell you've cast restores heart points to several creatures at once (such as lotus of life), you must choose for the spell to harm or heal—it cannot heal some creatures while damaging others. If a spell causes heart points to regained multiple times (such as great fairy's grace), a creature makes a separate saving throw for each time it would be affected, but you must decide whether the spell harms or heals when you first cast it.
Everflowing Spells
At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.
Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).
At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).
Progeny
Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.
With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.
You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.
You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.
Dispelling Touch
At 14th level, you learn to channel your supernatural powers to thwart the power of another. As an action, you can touch a creature to end one spell, curse, bless, or bane affecting that creature. You can choose a specific spell or curse if you're aware of one affecting the target, otherwise the highest-level spell is affected. Once you use this feature to end an effect, you must finish a long rest before it can be used again.
If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.
Great Fairy of Magic
At 15th level, your healing magic reaches even greater pinnacles. You gain two benefits:
- Overflowing Life. If you cast an instantaneous scion spell that restores one creature to its maximum heart points, you can redirect any excessive heart point regeneration to another creature in range of the spell. Example: If you cast life to restore 15 heart points to a creature that is only missing 10 heart points, you can redirect 5 heart points of healing to another creature you can touch.
- Magical Rest. Whenever you or a creature benefiting from your Invigorating Rest expends a Heart Container to regain heart points, that creature may also regain 1 magic point if that Heart Container isn't otherwise used to restore magic points.
Immutable Form
By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.
Royal Fairy
Your legacy as a fairy take shape in one of the following features, which you choose upon reaching 20th level:
- Boundless Magic. You learn to overpower your scion spells past your magic limit. You can overpower your scion spells to 15 magic points (or 10th level), so long as you have magic points to spare.
- Eternal Life. You learn mass heal, true resurrection, and eternal youth as if they were scion spells. You can cast these spells regardless of your magic limit. These spells cannot be used with your Radiant Surge feature.
- Great Fairy's Gift. When you cast a scion spell with a duration of at least 1 minute that doesn't restore heart points, you can increase its duration to "concentration, until dispelled."

Starting equipment
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Hearts
- Heart Containers: 1d8 per scion level
- Heart Points at 1st Level: 8 + Constitution modifier
- Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution modifier per scion level after 1st. If your 1d8 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.
Proficiency
If poe scion is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to any from your and proficiency points.
- Armor: Light armor
- Weapons: Simple weapons, rods; you can use Charisma as your casting ability with rods instead of Intelligence
- Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
- Skills: One of your choice from Deception, Intimidation, Persuasion, Religion, and Stealth
- Languages: Ancient (or another language of your choice if you already know Ancient)
Proficiency Points
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background. If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in two skills of your choice from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background. |
If your first class level is gained as a scion, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 5 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of proficiency points. During character creation or during downtime, you can expend proficiency points to become proficient.
- You can invest 1 point to become proficient with any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
- You can invest 2 points to become proficient with any professional tool or in any skill from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion.
- You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.
Retraining
Heroes don't always retain their skills forever. Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new means. Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature. Doing so lets you regain the points you invested. You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.
If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.
Magic Meter
At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 0). If your Charisma later increases, so too does your number of magic points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 2 more magic points.
Your magic points are expended primarily in spellcasting. Normally any magic points you've expended are fully replenished when you finish a long rest. Some features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.
Spellcasting
Some players may prefer traditional spell slot levels over Hyrulean magic points. If this is the case for you, the following adjustments. Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter or Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast scion spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the ranger and paladin classes do (see SRD or PHB). To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot. Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. |
As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.
Magic Limit
To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.
You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Poe Scion Table.
If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.
Cantrips
You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your Poe Scion Spell List. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.
Powered Spells Known
At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your Poe Scion Spell List. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Poe Scion Table.
Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.
If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.
Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your Poe Scion Spell List. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.
You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.
Overpowering a Spell
You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.
For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.
Poe Tricks
If you hold a hooded lantern or similar item, you can wield as a club or a hammer instead of an improvised weapon.
When you consume a poe soul, you always regain the maximum amount of heart points from it, and you are filled as if eating a hearty meal.
Stal Senses
At 2nd level, your eyes take on a faint eerie glow. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision due to race, its radius increases by 60 feet.
If a creature you can see is within the range of your darkvision, you can discern without fail if the creature is alive, dead, undead, or construct. You gain no special insight into detecting or tracking this creature, only sensing its nature.
Poe Flight
At 3rd level, you gain a fly speed of 30 feet. This speed cannot be used to ascend more than 5 feet above the ground, but you can use it to prevent falling. You can maintain a constant altitude even over chasms or cliffs. If while flying you are knocked prone, have your speed reduced to 0, or are otherwise deprived of the ability to move, you immediately fall.
Poe Vanish
Starting from 3rd level, when you use your action to Dodge, you become invisible until the start of your next turn. You can maintain constant invisibility if you use this action at the start of every turn.
You cannot take a bonus action on a turn you use Poe Vanish, and you cannot use a reaction until the start of your next turn.
Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:
- Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
- Gain a feat of your choice.
- Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
- Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.
Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.
Swift Spells
At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.
When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.
Intuition
By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of undead—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.
Altered Body
By 7th level, your body has undergone deep physiological changes. You become immune to harmful magic effects which only affect humanoids, such as the paralyze spell. You are affected by beneficial magic effects which only affect undead.
You gain resistance to poison damage and necrotic damage. You have advantage on any saving throw to avoid being poisoned or jinxed.
Increase your Constitution score by 10 (and your modifier by 5) when determining you long you can go without breath, food, or water without ill effects.
You gain a fly speed of 30 feet, which is unrestricted by altitude or ascension. You hover in place effortlessly, even if your speed is reduced to 0, you are knocked prone, or you fall unconscious. This effectively enhances or replaces your Poe Flight.
If you choose, your appearance also becomes considerably more ghastly or undead from now own: sullen red eyes, gangling limbs, black fingernails, or even an otherworldly black mist in your shadow, among other possibilities your DM permits. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.
Resilience
Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.
At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.
At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.
Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.
Necrotic Power
At 10th level, your power over necrotic magic surges. Any scion spell you cast that deals necrotic or psychic damage has those damage dice increased one step. For example, if a spell would normally deal 4d8 necrotic damage, it instead deals 4d10 necrotic damage when you cast it. You cannot increase a damage die above d12 with this feature.
In addition to dealing more damage, your necrotic spells also rip through resistances more easily. Your scion spells ignore any damage resistance a creature has to necrotic damage. Your scion spells treat any immunity to necrotic damage as though it was damage resistance instead.
At 20th level, your necrotic power is so overwhelming that your damage dice instead increase by two steps; 4d8 becomes 4d12, for example.
Everflowing Spells
At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.
Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).
At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).
Progeny
Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.
With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.
You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.
You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.
Dispelling Touch
At 14th level, you learn to channel your supernatural powers to thwart the power of another. As an action, you can touch a creature to end one spell, curse, bless, or bane affecting that creature. You can choose a specific spell or curse if you're aware of one affecting the target, otherwise the highest-level spell is affected. Once you use this feature to end an effect, you must finish a long rest before it can be used again.
If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.
Eternal Body
At 15th level, your body surpasses the limits of life, death, and undeath. You have immunity to poison and necrotic damage, and cannot be poisoned or jinxed.
You have no need to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep, but you can still fall unconscious. To gain the benefits of rest, you must engage in only restful activity for the duration of the rest period even if you remain conscious throughout.
Sacrificial Magic
At 15th level, you learn to sacrifice your own life energy to fuel your magical powers. As a bonus action, you can sacrifice any number of Heart Containers to regain magic points for each one. The Heart Containers are lost as if you expended them to recover during a short rest, and are regained as normal when you complete a long rest.
Once you decide how many Heart Containers to sacrifice, roll the die for each, then regain magic points equal to half of the combined result. You can only regain magic points that were expended on scion spells or features.
Immutable Form
By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.
Melody of Darkness
At 20th level, your mere presence can drain energy and life of that which surrounds you. If a creature you detect starts its turn within 120 feet of you, you can choose for it to take 2 necrotic damage at the start of its turn. At the start of your turn, you can choose any plant objects to take this damage as well; grass withers instantly, and trees rot within minutes.

Ancient
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
Ancient—formally "Ancient Hylian" and sometimes "Sheikah"—is the progenitor of most modern languages, but its use has been forgotten among most people. Among hylians and their allies, it is sometimes spoken by sects of Sheikah, and is sometimes learned by those who research ancient history or magic. The rare creature who remembers events of millenia ago—guardian spirits and some undead—may still be able to understand and speak it. Some say it is still spoken by the gods in the Sacred Realm.
Ancient script parallels modern Common or "Hylian" script in that it reads from left to right and its characters have similar, often overlapping meaning. Ancient has noticeably fewer characters.
Ancient is not spoken consistently. It is clear that those who remember Ancient—gods and spirits—speak it with a slower and bolder cadence than the choppier pace spoken by those who have only learned it with modern education.
Blin
Blin is perhaps the most widely spoken language across the known realms, but it is closely associated with monsters and Ganon himself. As this language's most populous speakers appear to be blins, the language itself has become known as blin. Indeed, Blin is spoken by various monsters from lynel to taros, and is even commonly spoken in the Dark World. Hylians and their allies usually only learn it for espionage purposes, or to study monsters, as even speaking it is viewed with suspicion. Veterans don't easily forget achemen and other spies of Ganon.
Because it is so widespread among otherwise isolated groups, Blin has a wide variety of accents and dialects. Blin-speakers often have a very difficult time understanding those from far realms, or with fundamentally different physiology.
Blin script is unique to itself. As with spoken Blin, written Blin comes in extremely diverse forms—it isn't even consistently written right to left, left to right, or top to bottom. There are very few scrolls or any long written works of Blin, leaving even less room for scholars to agree on any kind of standardization. When a moblin is observed struggling to read "its own language" because of the language's inconsistencies, hylians and even lizal are often quick to dismiss this as merely the renowned stupidity of moblins.
Deku
In the common language of Hylian, Deku is named after the Great Deku Tree and deku scrubs, and the language as a whole is widely associated with forests and plants. The Great Deku Tree seems to be the progenitor of this language, or at least the oldest widely-known speaker of it. As it is spoken by several races populating the Light World's many woodlands and forests, Deku is one of the more abundant and diverse languages in the realm. It is even the primary language spoken by most fairies. Deku's use is occasionally associated with adventurers and tradesmen, due in part to being the native tongue of Business Scrubs.
The roots of the Deku tongue clearly lie in Ancient, as many languages do. Its structure is remarkably similar to Hylian and Gerudo, other languages closely tied to Ancient—it is thus relatively easy for speakers of Hylian, Gerudo, and Deku to learn each others' languages. Unlike most descendants of Ancient however, Deku retains a script nearly identical to Ancient itself.
Eldish
In the common language of Hylian, Eldish is named after the Eldin region where its speakers are abundant. When spoken, it incorporates many short but sharp consonants such as "k" and "g"; there is a a noticeable emphasis on vowel sounds, particularly "ah," "oh" and "oo."
Subrosians speak it universally, but among Light Worlders it is most closely associated with gorons and sometimes mogma. It is a common language among races that live underground, in tunnels, in mountains, or among active volcanoes. The tongue is closely associated with earth and fire, and elementals such as magmanos or podoboos will often understand it innately.
The roots of this language may lie underground, as it commonly spoken even in the subterranean continent of Subrosia. In modern use it shares a nearly identical script to Hylian, but this practice has only been around a few centuries—in days long past it used a script that more closely resembled Ancient.
Gerudo
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
The Gerudo language finds its roots in Ancient and shares structural similarities with Hylian. Compared to Hylian, when spoken has a noticeably greater use of consonants which use teeth in the pronunciation, such as "f" or "s" but especially "v."
It is believed that Hylian and Gerudo languages branched in a manner similar to how hylians and gerudo may have branched from what was once one race, many millenia ago.
Unlike the commonly spoken Hylian language, today Gerudo is rarely spoken except by gerudo themselves and a few other desert-dwellers such as zuna and some lizal. It is rarely if ever the only language a creature knows. Because of its structural similarity to Hylian, almost all native Gerudo speakers have branched out to learn the much more commonly spoken Hylian tongue as a second language.

Hebric
In the common language of Hylian, Hebric is named after the Hebra region where its speakers are abundant, though the roots of this language originate from much further away. When heard aloud, there is a distinctly greater emphasis on consonants than vowels. In modern use Hebric shares the same script as Hylian, but this practice has only been around a few centuries—in days long past it used a script that more closely resembled Ancient.
Hebric is spoken almost universally among anouki and yeti, but many other people living in the far north speak it as well. Creatures born of cold or ice magic, such as chilfos, often understand it innately.
Hylian
The Hylian language—also known as Hyrulean, Common, or the common tongue—is one of the most abundantly spoken languages in the Light World, and is understood by virtually all hylians and allies of hylians. It is sometimes regarded as "everyone's second language." Many races such as gorons and gerudo are typically fluent in it, but prefer their own regional or cultural language except when dealing with hylians.
Like the hylian race themselves, the Hylian language may have originated in some form from the goddess Hylia. She is known to primarily speak Hylian, while other deities of her status typically speak Ancient or other more esoteric languages. Across space and time, Hylian remains understandable through many spoken dialects, but its scripts and style of writing has diverged so many times that it may be difficult for even the most well-versed Hylian speaker to read scripts from centuries ago or from the other side of the world.
Literal translations
Chu. [choo]. An onomatopoeia for "squeak" sounds. Often used in words related to mice and certain oozes. Examples include bombchu and chuchu.
Demise. [dih-mahyz]. Though it originated as the name of Demise, historically a proper noun, this word has since become synonymous with death—especially an untimely death, or doom in general.
Geldo. [gel-doh]. (Archaic, Vulgar). A mistranslation of gerudo, which is now seen as an ignorant or disrespectful name for the race. "Geldo" has a connotation with sand and deserts, much like the most renowned gerudo. Geldo is still used in the names of monsters such as geldarm and geldman.
-fos. [dohs] or [fohz]. The suffix "fos" is often applied to the names of anthropomorphic monster species. Examples include chilfos, lizalfos, stalfos, and wolfos.
Lizal
This language is commonly named for its most abundant speakers, lizal themselves. Its distinctive sound includes many consonants which rely on the tongue and teeth (ss, t, th, l, etc) and few if any which rely on lip movement (p, b, m, etc). It is most commonly associated with dragons, reptiles, and amphibians. Reptilian races often take a certain pride in speaking and writing it. Mammalian races who attempt to use it—such as hylians or blins—are often regarded with ire for doing so. Such races often have difficulty enunciating certain consonants with the correct accent due to their "preoccupation with lips."
Lizal uses a unique script, though it seems to be distantly related to Ancient script.
Minish
Minish is a relatively secret language spoken almost exclusively by beings who are smaller than a hylian's hand. Its primary speakers, the minish themselves, are even thought by many to be mythical as few adult humanoids can even perceive such creatures normally. As such it is very rarely spoken by most humanoids, and is instead spoken almost exclusively by minish, some tiny fairies, and what few other intelligent beings stand under mushrooms.
When spoken properly, Minish carries a very high pitch. There are many instances of the "pi" and "co" sounds, to the point Minish themselves are sometimes called "Picori" by foreigners due to the sounds they make. Those unfamiliar with the Minish language may be unable to distinguish its high pitched syllables from the squeaks and scratching noises that mice and similar pests might produce. Like Minish themselves, this language is so subtle that a Medium-sized humanoid often won't even notice it.
The Minish script is not used by any other language. Though the script includes many nuanced characters, only a small portion of these are routinely used. Consisting of fine lines, Minish script is characteristically "written" by using tiny hands to scratching hidden messages into rupees, leaves, seeds, shoe laces, and other objects most humanoids would consider to be small.
Mudoran
This language was supposedly used by the ancient Zonai tribe, but it has no known modern speakers. Mudoran survives only as script, consisting of complex hieroglyphs clearly unlike any other language of the Light World. Its pronunciation is unknown even to the most erudite historians. Any player-character who knows this language, of course, only knows how to read and write it—not how to speak it.
Sign
This language can't be spoken or heard, and doesn't have a script. Instead uses visual hand gestures to communicate messages based on the Hylian language. While individual script characters and some messages can be portrayed with one hand, clear communication at a pace comparable to spoken Hylian generally requires two hands.
The earliest roots of Sign may be only a few centuries old, and are rumored to have been created by hylian thieves to communicate silently in secret. Regardless of its origin, the language is now used in deaf communities across Hyrule and even neighboring regions as a much more practical form of communication than writing everything out.
Sky
Often called "Sky Writing," this language is today rarely spoken today by any but the esoteric oocca. A vanishingly small number of twili and hylians speak it as a secondary language passed down through generations. There are a number of written books using Sky Writing, and a few interested historians strive to retain this language before it is "forgotten" like Mudoran. It is similar to Ancient and languages descended from it, so much so a handful of words could be understood through the language barrier.
Twilight
The Twilight language is the most abundant language spoken in the Twilight Realm, and is infrequently spoken in the Light World. Usually only those with ties to the realm speak it, including twilits and twili themselves. Indeed, it is the language of the twili, and its etymological roots overlap with the Hylian language. Both Twilight and Hylian are rooted in a common ancestral tongue which itself is derivative of Ancient.
To Light Worlders, when Twilight is spoken spoken it often sounds like scrambled Hylian, but there is too little in common to clearly communicate messages. Those unaccustomed to hearing Twilight often claim it sounds as though it echoes.
The script used in Twilight is nearly identical to that used by ancient.
Zoran
In the common language of Hylian, Zoran is of course titled after the aquatic race of the same name. Though most renowned through zora themselves, Zoran is by far the most recurring tongue used among aquatic and amphibious people. The roots of this language may lie underwater, as it commonly spoken even at the bottom of the ocean by parella. The language is clearly designed for aquatic use, as it lacks any sounds which cannot be easily pronounced and understood underwater.
In modern use, Zoran adopts the Hylian script, with some accents to annotate different pronunciations. This practice is relatively recent and may be a result of alliances between hylian and zora royalty.
For many millennia Zoran had no lasting script. Unlike most languages, Zoran was made to be spoken underwater—and of course, erosion occurs much faster underwater. Modern historians believe that if any uniquely Zoran script ever existed, it would have been used less frequently than dry scripts, and any instances of it are unlikely to survive in the historical record.
Zoran is one of the most common languages spoken in the Light World thanks the abundance of aquatic creatures found in rivers, lakes, and the Great Sea who do not rely on any other language.

Rupees
Green Rupee | 1 rp |
Blue Rupee | 5 rp |
Yellow Rupee | 10 rp |
Red Rupee | 20 rp |
Purple Rupee | 50 rp |
Silver Rupee | 100 rp |
Gold Rupee | 300 rp |
With 10 rupees, a character can buy a bedroll, 50 feet of hemp rope, or two days of hearty rations. A skilled artisan can earn 10 rupees or more in a day.
Rupees are the standard unit of measure for wealth. When merchants discuss deals that involve thousands of rupees, the transactions often don't involve the exchange of individual rupees. Rather, the rupee is the standard measure of value, and the actual exchange is made with gemstones, letters of credit, or other valuable goods.
Rupees are used throughout the Light World and are not tied to a single government or continent. It is rare for an intelligent Light Worlder to not know of their commonly accepted value.

As a general rule, most equipment will fetch half its cost when sold in a market. Exceptions include gemstones and trade goods. These items have inherent value and can always be bought or sold at their full price. Gemstones and ores are often used as currency in the same way rupees are. Trade goods include commonly exchanged commodities like salt or gold which can effectively be used as currency.
These rules assume your party will sell and buy items during the "trade" downtime activity, but your DM might instead facilitate buying and selling items in the midst of an adventure.
Carrying Capacity
If you are a Medium or Small bipedal creature, your carrying capacity is your Strength score multiplied by 15. This is the weight in pounds that you can carry, which is high enough that most characters don’t usually have to worry about it.

Armor
Adventurers have access to a variety of armor types, ranging from leather armor to chain mail to costly plate armor, with several other kinds of armor in between. The Armor table collects the most commonly available types of armor found in Hyrule and separates them into three categories: light armor, medium armor, and heavy armor. Many warriors supplement their armor with a shield.
Armor Qualities
Armor Proficiency. Anyone can put on a suit of armor or strap a shield to an arm. Only those proficient in the armor’s use know how to wear it effectively, however. Your class gives you proficiency with certain types of armor. If you wear armor that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you can't cast spells.
Strength Requirements. Heavier armor interferes with the wearer's ability to move quickly, stealthily, and freely. If the Armor table lists entries such as “Str 13” or “Str 15” in the Strength column for an armor type, your Strength score must be at least as high to wear the armor proficiently. If your Strength falls short, you are restricted as if you weren't proficient with the armor, even if you otherwise have proficiency.
Armor Class (AC). Armor protects its wearer from attacks. The armor (and shield) you wear determines your base Armor Class. If you aren't wearing armor and don't have a special feature for AC, your Armor Class is 10 + your Dexterity modifier.
Shield. When you wield a shield in one arm, it increases your AC by a specified amount. You can benefit from only one shield at a time.
Stealth. If the Armor table shows "Disadvantage" in the Stealth column, the wearer has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to move quietly.
Armor Categories
Armor comes in three broad categories: light, medium, and heavy.
Light. Made from supple and thin materials, light armor favors agile adventurers since it offers some protection without sacrificing mobility. If you wear light armor, you add your Dexterity modifier to the base number from your armor type to determine your Armor Class.
Medium. Medium armor offers more protection than light armor, but it also impairs your movement more. If you wear medium armor, you ass your Dexterity modifier, to a maximum of +2, to the base number from your armor type to determine your Armor Class.
Heavy. Of all the armor categories, heavy armor offers the best protection. These suits of armor cover the entire body and are designed to stop a wide range of attacks. Only proficient, strong warriors can manage their weight and bulk. Heavy armor doesn't let you add your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class, but it also doesn't penalize you if your Dexterity modifier is negative.

1. If you take damage from being ignited while wielding a wooden shield, it is irrevocably destroyed. You can prevent this by using your action to end the ignited condition.
2. The AC bonus from a deflecting shield is ignored by melee attacks.
3. To wield a heavy shield proficiently, you must have at least 15 Strength and be proficient with heavy armor.
Donning and Doffing Armor
Category | Don | Doff |
---|---|---|
Light Armor | 1 minute | 1 minute |
Medium Armor | 5 minutes | 1 minute |
Heavy Armor | 10 minutes | 5 minutes |
Shield | 1 action | 1 action |
Don. This is the time it takes to put on armor. You benefit from the armor's AC only if you take the full time to don the suit of armor.
Doff. This is the time it takes to take off armor. If you have help, reduce this time by half.
Weapons
This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information. |
The Weapons table shows the most common weapons used in Hyrule, their price and weight, the damage they deal when they hit, and any special properties they possess. Every weapon is classified as either melee or ranged. A melee weapon is used to attack a target within 5 feet of you, whereas a ranged weapon is used to attack a target at a distance.
Weapon Proficiency
Your first class grants proficiency in certain weapons, reflecting both the class’s focus and the tools you are most likely to use. Other features like your race or feats can grant you proficiency with types of weapons, or certain categories of weapons. The two categories are simple and martial.
Most people can use simple weapons with proficiency. These weapons include clubs, maces, and other weapons often found in the hands of commoners. Martial weapons, including swords, axes, and polearms, require more specialized training to use effectively. Most warriors use martial weapons because these weapons put their fighting style and training to best use.
Proficiency with a weapon allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with that weapon. If you make an attack roll using a weapon with which you lack proficiency, you do not add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll.
Weapon Properties
Many weapons have properties which affect their use, as shown in the Weapons table.
Ammunition. You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to shoot from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. A piece of ordinary ammunition such as an arrow or bolt costs 1 rupee and weighs less than 1⁄4 pounds. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). Generally, any ammunition you use in an attack is destroyed beyond use.
Aquatic. If you make a melee weapon attack while underwater, your attack roll has disadvantage unless your weapon has the aquatic property. If a creature has a swim speed, any attacks it makes with unarmed strikes or natural weapons are aquatic. A ranged weapon attack automatically misses a target beyond the weapon’s normal range while underwater; even against a target within normal range, the attack roll has disadvantage unless the weapon has the aquatic property.
Dire. If you make an attack roll with a dire weapon with which you are proficient, you do not add your proficiency bonus to your attack roll. You instead add your proficiency bonus to your damage roll if you hit.
Finesse. When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
Light. Up to 10 light items count as 1 normal item for your carry capacity. Light weapons are also ideal for two-weapon fighting.
Loading. Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
Range. A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon’s long range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can’t attack a target beyond the weapon’s long range.
Reach. This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for opportunity attacks with it.
Returning. A weapon with the returning property has a special design that allows it to return to the thrower when thrown. If you make a ranged attack with a returning weapon, you catch it at the end of your turn if you are proficient with the weapon and you have a free hand.
Special. A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing its use, explained in the weapon’s description. See either the page for the weapon, or the Special Weapons section below.
Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity since the dagger has the finesse property.
Two-Handed. This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it. Attempting to attack with it otherwise treats it as an improvised weapon and may lower its damage dice to as low as 1d4.
Versatile. This weapon can be used with one or two hands when making a melee attack. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack. If you make a ranged attack with this weapon, you can only use one hand.<

Special Weapons
The following weapons each have a special property.
Blowgun. When you hit with a ranged attack using using Dexterity for your attack roll, you can add either your Dexterity or your Constitution to the damage roll of a blowgun.
Bug-catching net. A Tiny creature hit by this weapon takes no damage, but is restrained while you maintain one hand on this net. Amorphous creatures are unaffected. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, with a success freeing itself or an adjacent creature from the net. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net.
Duplex bow. As ammunition a duplex bow uses two arrows for each attack. If an attack with this weapon uses one arrow instead of two, a hit deals only 1d4 damage instead of 2d4.
Gauntlet. A gauntlet is worn around your hand, and you cannot be disarmed of it. You can hold objects, wield weapons, and cast spells with a hand fitted with a gauntlet, but you can only attack with the gauntlet if that hand is unoccupied.
Lance. You have disadvantage on attack rolls with a lance if you attack a target within 5 feet of you, unless you are Large or otherwise can wield Large weapons without penalty. You can wield a lance with only one hand if you are mounted, or if your size is Large or larger.
Whip. If you are proficient with whips and wielding one, you can use your action to shove a creature within the reach of your whip. When shoving a creature in this way, you can only pull the creature 5 feet towards you or attempt to knock it prone.
Silver and Adamantine Weapons
Some monsters with immunity or resistance to the damage from nonmagical weapons are susceptible to weapons made with silver or adamantine. While silver weapons are reasonably common, adamantine doesn't exist in Hyrule. Some specific weapons like a cobble crusher or guardian weapon are nonetheless are the equivalent of an adamantine weapon.
A silver weapon costs 1,000 rupees more than a normal weapon of its type. A single piece of silver ammunition costs 100 more rupees than normal. A silver weapon gains the aquatic property and doesn't rust.
Improvised Weapons
Sometimes characters don’t have their weapons and have to attack with whatever is at hand. An improvised weapon includes any object you can wield in one or two hands, such as broken glass, a table leg, a frying pan, a wagon wheel, or a dead miniblin.Often, an improvised weapon is similar to an actual weapon and can be treated as such. For example, a table leg is akin to a club. At the DM’s option, a character proficient with a weapon can use a similar object as if it were that weapon and use his or her proficiency bonus.
An object that bears no resemblance to a weapon deals 1d4 damage (the GM assigns a damage type appropriate to the object). If a character uses a ranged weapon to make a melee attack, or throws a melee weapon that does not have the thrown property, it also deals 1d4 damage. An improvised thrown weapon has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.
Adventuring Gear
Click an item's name to see a page describing that item.
AmmunitionBows, slingshots, and blowguns need ammunition for attacks.
Bombs and Traps
ClothesEvery character has at least one set of clothes, often worn under armor.
ContainersWhile an adventurer typically carries their gear in a backpack or adventure pouch, with a bottle or waterskin for drinking water, there are a few other options.
AnimalsAdventurers occasionally buy a beast to serve as a mount, to pull vehicles, or to carry extra gear. Generally you can only maintain control over one animal at a time, and it won't fight in combat unless you have a special feature. An animal normally requires feed or stabling (each 1 rupee per day), and you can equip one with barding if you buy it separately.
|
IlluminationMost adventurers need a way of lighting up dark caverns and dank dungeons.
Medicines and PotionsIn Hyrule you can typically ingest a potion with a bonus action, or administer it to an unconscious creature as an action.
Other Gear
|
Tools and Vehicles
A tool helps you to do something you couldn't otherwise do, such as craft or repair an item, forge a document, or pick a lock. Your class, species, feats, or other game features can grant you proficiency with one or more tools. Proficiency with a tool lets you add your proficiency bonus to any ability check that uses the tool for its intended purpose. You can still use a tool even if you aren't proficient with it, but may be unable to add your proficiency bonus to checks which use it.
Tools are not governed by any individual ability score. Use of a musical instrument for example might require an Intelligence check to play in an orderly orchestra, but a Charisma check for an original and impromptu solo performance.
Tools usually have narrower, more specific applications than skills. Many tools cover niches that are not covered by skills, such as crafting items or maneuvering vehicles. Being proficient with a tool may make you an expert on certain skill checks if your narrator employs the Tool Expertise variant rule.
The list of tools below is not intended to be exhaustive. Your narrator may decide that your legend of Hyrule includes an electric guitar as a musical instrument, that bombsmith's tools can be used to craft firearms, or even that you can become proficient with a mere shovel, among many other possibilities.
Artisan's Tools
Proficiency with an artisan's tool represents training in how to craft appropriate objects with the relevant tools, and repair such objects if applicable. Without proficiency, any attempts to craft or repair items with the tools are of noticeably lower quality. One of the most lucrative uses of downtime involves crafting items. If your campaign lacks much downtime, your narrator might use the Craft During Rest variant rule instead.

The live play of music is not only incredibly popular in Hyrule, but music has ties to spirits and supernatural forces.

Tool Expertise
If using the Tool Expertise variant rule, being proficient with any musical instrument makes you an expert in:
- Any Charisma (Performance) check that incorporates a musical instrument in which you are proficient.
- Any Intelligence check made to identify or recall lore about anything closely related your musical instrument, including music played with your musical instrument and spells which use it as a material component.
Vehicles
You can either be proficient with horse-drawn land vehicles (land vehicles) or aquatic vehicles drawn by sail or pushed by oar (water vehicles), or both. Being proficient adds your proficiency bonus to ability checks made to maneuver and maintain vehicles of the relevant type.
Damage. Vehicles are objects, and thus have heart points and AC. Objects always fail Strength and Dexterity saving throws, and they are immune to effects that require other saves. Vehicles are immune to conditions and to psychic damage but otherwise have no damage resistances or vulnerabilities. Larger or tougher vehicles have a damage threshold; if an attack hits the vehicle but deals less damage than the threshold, then the vehicle loses no heart points as a result of that attack.
Land Vehicles
Land vehicles are usually drawn by draft horses, but some other four-legged creatures can be substituted if their combined size and Strength is sufficient. The costs below assume such a creature is not included. Unless pulling a chariot, a creature pulling a land vehicle has its base walking speed drop to 40 feet (equal to a draft horse) before other modifiers apply.
Vehicle | Cost | Weight | AC | hp | Threshold |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cart | 150 rp | 200 lb. | 11 | 25 | 5 |
Sled | 200 rp | 300 lb. | 11 | 50 | 5 |
Wagon | 350 rp | 400 lb. | 13 | 100 | 5 |
Carriage | 1,000 rp | 600 lb. | 15 | 200 | 5 |
Chariot | 2,500 rp | 100 lb. | 17 | 300 | 10 |
Cart. This simple two-wheeled vehicle is designed to be pulled by a single draft horse. It barely has enough room for two Medium or smaller creatures, and is meant mostly for moving cargo. There's no room for a driver to sit, who instead is usually guiding the beast that pulls it.
Sled. Similar to a wagon, but on runners for moving through snow, over ice, or across bogs too thick for wheels to handle. It generally requires two draft horses if there's more than one Medium creature or object being towed, other than the driver. Like a wagon, if properly pulled it can fit as many as six Medium or Small humanoids including the driver.
Wagon. This four-wheeled, open-top vehicle is for transporting heavy loads of cargo but can be fitted for passengers. It generally requires two draft horses if there's more than one Medium creature or object being towed. If pulled by two or more draft horses, it can move up to six Medium creatures or objects including the driver.
Carriage. This four-wheeled, closed-top vehicle provides unmatched shelter and comfort; you can even sleep in it overnight while it is driven. Its bulk requires at least two draft horses to operate. Up to six Medium or Small humanoids can inside the cabin, but a driver must sit outside the cabin to guide the carriage.
Chariot. Built for speed and for combat, a two-wheeled chariot is the ideal choice for a war vehicle. It can barely hold three Medium or Small creatures—one to drive and one or two to attack—but unlike other drawn vehicles one or two riding horses or other fast beast can pull with its full speed if the load isn't too heavy. Its driver and riders have half cover, and the vehicle's steel plating makes it very difficult to damage. There's no room for cargo.
Water Vehicles
The waterways of the Light World are maneuvered by many different ships, but the most renowned and relevant varieties are listed below. Though these ships draw some parallels to real-world vessels, it's important to consider how different the sea can be in Hyrule. Most ships in this realm are designed primarily to fight sea monsters, not other ships. The Kingdom of Hyrule mostly focuses on internal affairs, so its navy (usually) won't compare to the greatest navies of real-world history. While ships are most closely associated with hylians and gerudo, naval combat often incorporates zora spies and either rito or aeralfos bombers. Warships in this realm are typically outfitted ballistas, archers, harpoons, explosives, and other weapons to deal with the various threats of the Great Sea—rarely does one of respectable size merely have cannons or "guns." The most impressive ships even incorporate weaponized spells, illusions, magical defenses, or a crew supplemented by conjured creatures.
Speed. Sailing speed varies immensely based on waters and winds, and the number represented here represents modest winds. Favorable winds could do as much as double a ship's speed, while the rare instance of no wind could render the ship practically unable to move. Ships pushed by muscle—whether it be oars from passengers, or zora swimming into the ship—can rarely exceed 5 feet per round, or 1⁄2 mph—with the exception of canoes. Although larger ships are quite fast in a straight line, it's generally assumed any ship larger than a lion boat won't have time to turn in combat. Naval battles are especially swift; each ship firing half of its siege weapons at once is often enough to decide a battle.
Crew. This represents the minimum number of skilled workers (each of whom would expect at least 20 rp per day) required to maintain speed, provide upkeep, and make living on the ship possible. This crew can maintain speed for about 8 hours per day, but requiring constant speed throughout the day would require a crew of twice the size.
Pax. Pax, or passengers, are the number of Medium or Small humanoids the vessel can carry in addition to the minimum crew. This number represents uncomfortably close quarters both for work and for sleep, and can scarcely be strained any further without risking exhaustion. Individual cabins for each passenger would at least quarter the number of passengers possible.
Cargo. The approximate amount of goods in weight the ship can safely ferry with a minimum crew and no siege weapons.
Vehicle | Cost | Length | Speed | Crew | Pax | Cargo (lb.) | AC | hp | Threshold |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Raft | 100 rp | 5 feet | 5 feet (1⁄2 mph) | 1 | 1 | 300 | 11 | 10 | — |
Canoe | 500 rp | 10 feet | 25 feet (3 mph) | 1 | 3 | 600 | 11 | 30 | — |
Lion Boat | 5,000 rp | 10 feet | 60 feet (7 mph) | 1 | 1 | 1,000 | 13 | 50 | 5 |
Sailboat | 30,000 rp | 30 feet | 45 feet (5 mph) | 2 | 8 | 5,000 | 13 | 100 | 5 |
Caravel | 200,000 rp | 80 feet | 60 feet (7 mph) | 5 | 60 | 100,000 | 15 | 300 | 10 |
Clipper | 600,000 rp | 160 feet | 100 feet (11 mph) | 10 | 60 | 150,000 | 15 | 300 | 15 |
Galleon | 800,000 rp | 160 feet | 70 feet (8 mph) | 20 | 200 | 1,000,000 | 15 | 400 | 15 |
Ironclad | 1,000,000 rp | 160 feet | 80 feet (9 mph) | 20 | 100 | 300,000 | 17 | 800 | 20 |
In Legends of Hyrule, the default setting assumes steam power is not robust and widespread enough to support steam ships like the S. S. Linebeck as it appears in Phantom Hourglass. Similarly, all sea-worthy ships are presumed to have sails. If your narrator permits these technically advanced ships, simply add 90 feet (10 mph) to the speed of the four best ships—caravel, clipper, galleon, and ironclad—and halve the necessary crew, then optionally increase their cost by 400,000 rupees to each steam version of each ship. This additional cost includes the cost of coal or whatever fuel the ship needs to produce steam. Such a ship gains only a small speed boost from favorable winds, perhaps 2 mph (or 20 feet per round). Under these changes, the S.S. Linebeck would fit as a steam caravel. |
Raft. Little more than a few planks or logs bound together with rope, a raft is the most meager of water vehicles. One is usually only used for crossing calm rivers, by pushing along the ground with a pole. The cost of a raft includes one suitable pole or oar. You have disadvantage on ability checks which rely on your raft, and it will surely capsize and sink before long on open waters.
Canoe. Weighing only about 50 pounds, a canoe has enough room for a couple passengers and can be used to navigate rivers, lakes, and coastal waters—but there's hardly enough room to even lay down inside of one. Its speed can only be maintained for as long as oars are used to actively row. Rowing into deep ocean will surely capsize the vessel. The greatest ships are so large they cannot safely travel up to a beach, and so are stocked with one or more canoes used to disembark on coasts without a formal port.
Lion Boat. Named for the now-famous boat used by a legendary hero, a lion boat is even smaller than a typical canoe but is of sturdier construction and its deck is dominated by a sail larger than the rest of the boat. Designed for speed, when skillfully maneuvered a lion boat can match the pace of much larger vessels. In exchange for this speed, any lion boat will be capsized frequently; any time the boat is hit by an attack or hit by a particularly strong wind, all riders are dumped into adjacent water. It is a risky yet cost-effective way to speed between nearby oceanic isles, but its small size prevents any journey that would take more than a day.
Sailboat. With a single sail and a tiny one-room cabin, a typical sailboat is considered a mere toy by most professional sailors. Still, a sailboat can ferry a small group across open waters for a few days and can carry enough weight to ferry all the treasure for a single dungeon raid, or enough supplies to set up a respectable shop. With meager speed and paltry defenses, it has no chance against pirates and would be easily capsized by sea monsters—taking one through the Great Sea is a huge risk, and the cost of cargo is too inefficient for a typical merchant to consider it. A sailboat includes one canoe.
Caravel. Though humble compared to modern top-of-the-line ships, a caravel was once one of the best designs in the world. With several triangular sails and a sizable area below deck, it is well-suited for weeks or even months at sea. It can support 15 Medium siege weapons (half on each side), or 7 Large weapons. A caravel can haul loads, fight off monsters, and speed away from threats, accomplishing everything adventurers would need from a ship. Still, it's too slow to outrun most pirates, isn't suited to naval battles, and is not very cargo-efficient. A caravel includes two canoes stowed on-board.
Clipper. Built for speed, the clipper is the fastest type of ship in the world. Its deck is adorned with as many sails as possible, and its body is exceptionally narrow to cut through the ocean. In pirate-infested waters, it is favored for its ability to outrun any ship weighed down with guns or heavy loads. Still, the galleon makes for a more cost-efficient merchant ship, and the ironclad is built for war. A clipper can support about 30 Medium siege weapons (half on each side), or 15 Large ones. If outfitted for more, its signature speed may drop significantly. A clipper includes four canoes stowed on-board.
Galleon. The largest ship on the seas, the master-crafted galleon is a merchant ship through and through, with storage efficiency at the forefront, with speed and durability not far behind. Its absolutely colossal area under deck could even fit lesser ships and carry them. Built primarily for cargo, a galleon can still support a huge defense arsenal: about 50 Medium siege weapons (half on each side), or 25 Large ones. A galleon includes five canoes stowed on-board—barely enough to fit its minimum crew.
Ironclad. Built for war, a ship-of-the-line, an ironclad is of course named because its hull is plated with iron. Almost invincible compared to most other ships, it sacrifices surprisingly little speed and cargo space. An ironclad can support about 70 Medium siege weapons (half on each side), or 35 Large ones. Built with damage in mind, ironclads often carry enough repair materials to—according to legend—build an entire second ironclad by hand. An ironclad includes five canoes stowed on-board—barely enough to fit its minimum crew.
Tool Expertise
If you are using the Tool Expertise variant rule, being proficient with a relevant vehicle grants the following benefits:
- If maneuvering a vehicle during combat, you add your proficiency bonus to the vehicle's AC.
- You are an expert in any Intelligence check made about vehicles of the relevant category.
- While inspecting a vehicle with which you are proficient, you are an expert in any ability check made to notice or analyze any aspect of the vehicle, including any check made to appraise its value.
Potions and Poisons
Mounts and Animals
Other Goods and Services
Goods are a special type of item that player-characters often find as treasure or otherwise earn as rewards in place of rupees. There are three main categories of goods: gemstones, spoils, and trade goods.
Gemstones
d8 | |
1 | Amber |
2 | Opal |
3 | Topaz |
4 | Emerald |
5 | Ruby |
6 | Sapphire |
7 | Star Fragment |
8 | Diamond |
Gemstones include any valuable crystalline minerals from amber to diamonds. Gemstones are so valuable that collectors, nobility, and the otherwise rich sometimes use them as currency in lieu of rupees. Unlike most gear adventurers come across, gemstones retain their full value when bought or sold. Monsters—especially silver and golden monsters—evaporate into valuable gemstones when they are slain, so adventurers and mercenaries often supply and use them as well.
Aside from being used as currency, gemstones have inherent magical power. Like spoils, they supply their full value when used as materials in crafting. Some spells even use gemstones as a material component, and some spells specify diamonds in particular. The adjacent table lists the most renowned types of gems in Hyrule, but there could certainly be more beyond these.
Minerals with overt magical effects, like luminous stones, are considered magic items instead of gemstones. Items that are formed by a creature, from raw pearls to masterwork jewelry, are instead considered spoils. Minerals of value without special properties are usually considered trade goods instead of gemstones.
Trade Goods
Most wealth is not held in rupees or even gemstones. Practical wealth is often measured in land, grains, livestock, minerals, tax collection rights, or exclusive access to mines or other resources. Wealth sometimes comes in the form of paintings, sculptures, and other art objects appreciated for their aesthetic value. These commonly exchanged goods—trade goods—normally retain their full value when bought and sold, unlike most equipment adventurers come across.
While there are countless kinds of trade goods spread across Hyrule and neighboring realms, the following table includes some of the more renowned and constant trade goods. The goods below are particularly steadfast; one can expect a similar price whether selling to a goron trader on a remote isle of the Great Sea, or buying from a noblewoman in Castle Town.
Rupee Value |
Item |
---|---|
0.1 | 1 pound of Tabantha wheat, hylian rice, or firewood |
0.2 | 1 pound of flour |
0.5 | 1 pound of rock salt |
1 | 1 pound of iron ore, 1 pound of lumber, or 1 square yard of canvas |
5 | 1 pound of copper or 1 square yard of cotton cloth |
10 | 1 pound of ginger |
20 | 1 pound of cinnamon, pepper, or goron spice |
50 | 1 pound of silver or 1 square yard of linen |
100 | 1 square yard of silk |
500 | 1 pound of gold |
5000 | 1 pound of platinum |
Spoils
Spoils includes any valuable remains that are left behind by a monster when it is slain, but lack any immediate use like a weapon or a potion. Spoils could include animal meat, jewelry, or even chu jelly. Creature pages might suggest possibilities for what types of creature spoils could be dropped by different creatures, but ultimately the narrator is free to improvise whatever spoils seem appropriate if any.
Spoils can be sold, used as the material component of some spells, or used as materials in crafting. If sold, spoils fetch half their value in rupees, like most gear adventurers come across. If used as the component for a spell or for crafting, the spoils instead use their full value as a material cost. Your narrator may allow others uses such as using an lizalfos tail as an improvised weapon, or using chu jelly as a lubricant.
When using spoils as a material, your narrator may or may not require the item to be somehow related to the intended effect. Chu jelly could be used for a potion for example, but it might be implausible to describe how it is useful for crafting an arrow.

Feats
Many feats here are parallels to those found in Player's Handbook and other official content subject to copyright. For the sake of balance, it is suggested a character cannot gain both Hyrulean feats and official Dungeons & Dragons feats. A party with mixed feats would still be perfectly fine. |
A feat represents an aptitude or special ability that gives a player-character exceptional capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides. Under Hyrulean character creation, a player-character can gain a feat at 1st level. At later levels, your class can grant a feat as an option for the Improvement feature.
You can take each feat only once, unless the feat specifies otherwise. You must meet any prerequisite specified in a feat to take that feat.
The following tables detail all feats available in Legends of Hyrule. Your DM may enable feat options beyond those listed here.
