Epic Legacy Hero's Handbook Public Playtest Packet

The Hero's Handbook Playtest is here!

The Hero's Handbook is the eagerly awaited update to the Epic Legacy Core Rulebook that was Kickstarted at the end of 2021. We want to ensure that these rules are thoroughly playtested by the community. That's where you come in. Please take a look at these and most importantly play them, then give us feedback.

What’s inside?

Inside you'll find all the most important material for playtesting the new and revised Epic Legacy Core rules! This is mostly a focus on character options, as once we have a solid bearing on the power of characters, we can ensure the rest of the system around them functions well. These builds are based off the content found in the Epic Legacy Core Rules, but have undergone significant revisions aiming to ensure balance, quality design, and many more goals. You will find three key components to the document.

• Part 1: Epic Prestige Classes: This section contains everything you need to build a basic Epic character from 21st to 30th level for every 5thEdition core class. If you are interested to see the kind of characters you can create with the Epic Legacy system, start here!
• Part 2: Customization Options: This section is all about additional ways to style your character. In this case, we are focusing primarily on Epic feats. Try them out in conjunction with the character options in Part 1 for interesting results!
• Part 3: Epic Magic: What fantasy game is complete without spells? In this section you’ll find all the wonderful magical mayhem your Epic characters can unleash. Explore all the cool combos and synergies found here to make some of the most powerful spellcasters to ever grace the game.

What’s Changed

A better question might be what hasn’t changed, but in the interest of helping folks figure out what to look for, we are providing a general list. Inside the packet is a full list of changes.

Giving Feedback

As with every playtest, feedback from the community is essential to the process. We are keen on knowing your thoughts and experiences on the content above. To provide us with your perspective, please reach out to us directly via the 2CGaming Discord #elhh-playtest-feedback channel or via this google form! We will be listening over the next couple of weeks for all your comments and using them to adjust the final product. We may even run a few community playtests ourselves! Thanks again for waiting and we look forward to hearing from you!
