History TabletopGame / LegendSystem

* BackFromTheDead: The "Phoenix Reborn" ability for Monks, and a few alike powers in the Dragon, Celestial, and Undead tracks. Also possible via a medicine check.
* BareFistedMonk: [[CaptainObvious Monks]] get a boost that cause their unarmed strikes to gain the same properties as any other weapon(with a few exceptions), except they gain some more properties.
* TheBerserker: Path of Rage.
* BlowYouAway: The Air Elemental Track

* CharacterCustomization: Pretty much the big draw of the system. Not only can you choose class, but each class has a set of three ability tracks it grants. You may swap out one of your class ability tracks for that of another, and may swap a second track with the Guild Initiation feat. Finally, you have the option to take an additional fourth track with the Full Buy In mechanic (though you trade away most of your magic items in exchange). In practice, this means that not only can you build almost any conceivable character, but there are usually several different ways to do it.

** Also an example of an InformedAbility, at least as of the most recent printing (1.0), given the complete lack of stats for such.

* FertileFeet: Weirdly enough, this is possible fluff for the Lurking Terror track, although the names of its abilities suggest [[WalkingWasteland the exact opposite.]]

* FluffyTheTerrible: Despite what you may think, the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Legend]] tracks are quite powerful and can be used to great effect with a bit of reflavoring.

* LightningBruiser: Due to the track system, making someone who are reasonably good at everthing is easy. As an example, a Dragon/Smiting/Pegasus build has both high defensive capabilities from Dragon, high-offense abilities from Smiting and a high mobility from Pegasus.

** If anything, spells are actually ''underpowered'' in this game.
* LivingShadow: Another possibility for Lurking Terror.

* MadeOfIron: The point of Path of the Ancestors

* NaturalWeapon: Present and accounted for. They gain something of a power boost from the fact that they - and, by extension, their properties - are always active and available even with [[StatSticks another weapon]] drawn. This allows you to [[MinmaxersDelight have an active weapon loaded to the gills with defensive properties while still having a strong attack freely available.]]

** And that's without taking advantage of the Floating Feat / Guild Initiation combo, which allows you to change your track once per scene.

* PowerGivesYouWings: Besides the other ways of gaining flight, wings are available as an option to everyone from lv9 onwards.

* ShieldsAreUseless: So useless, in fact, that the only shields availible must be magic. However, the [Guardian] weapon property can be fluffed as a shield.

* StoneWall: The point of Path of Ancestors.

* TeleportSpam: The Shadow Blink feat enables this.

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

A beta version was officially released on November 25th, 2011 though the charity Child's Play, and updates to the beta came out in May 2012 and January 2013. The final 1.0 edition was released on June 17th, 2013.

** [Precision] damage focuses on "exploiting weak points for massive damage."

* IKnowYourTrueName: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Know Truenames]] feat and the Runesong Scholar track both offer versions of this.

* HiddenWeapon: Any weapon with the [Hold-out] property.

* LeParkour: Legend's skill game made for TheChase is called "Parkour". Osaka Street Stories has it happen right before the climax, with the players chasing an [[{{Youkai}} Oni]] across rooftops.

* ShoutOut:

* GambitRoulette: Can be [[InvokedTrope invoked]] by a player with the "Arranged" [Legendary] ability: if they can weave a convincing enough tale of how everything has gone AllAccordingToPlan, they outright win the current encounter (with GM approval of course).

* RealSoonNow: THE HOUR IS NEAR. THE NUMBER IS PRIME. (Translation: The schedule is: 1.0 soon, the monster guide some time after that, Hallow and Chion eventually).

* NinjaPirateRobotZombie: A literal one. Start as a Sentient Construct Shaman. Use Shaman's Path to get Swashbuckler from Rogue. Use your free multiclass to get I Am Ten Ninjas. Then opt for Full Buy-In to take the Undead track with Ghoul. Now you have I Am Ten Ninjas (Ninja), Swashbuckler (Pirate), Sentient Construct (Robot), Undead (Zombie).

* LightningBruiser: Anybody with the [[BareFistedMonk Discipline of the Serpent]] track becomes one, thanks to that track's focus on granting extra attacks. The dev team considers this the single biggest GameBreaker in the book.

* InsistentTerminology: Any word that has a definition beyond normal everyday language is written in [[SelfDemonstratingArticle isolated [Brackets]]]. [[TropesAreNotBad This is not a bad thing;]] it makes it easier to understand what is being talked about.

* BareFistedMonk: [[CaptainObvious Monks]] get a boost that cause their unarmed strikes to gain the same properties as any other weapon.

* RealSoonNow: The schedule is: 1.0 soon, the monster guide some time after that, Hallow and Chion eventually.

** And that's without taking advantage of the Floating Feat / Guild Initiation combo, which allows you to change your track once a week.
