Epic Legacy Hero's Handbook – Epic Prestige Classes & Beyond 20th Level (5E)

Who This Appeals To

Epic Legacy Hero's Handbook is the definitive resource for players and Game Masters ready to transcend the traditional level cap and explore truly legendary gameplay. If you've ever wondered what happens when heroes become demigods, when spells reshape reality itself, or when the fate of entire planes rests on a single roll—this is your guide. Perfect for groups finishing high-level campaigns who aren't ready to say goodbye to beloved characters, or for those who want to start fresh with epic-tier heroes facing cosmic threats from session one.

What Makes This the Ultimate Epic-Level Resource

This 300+ page masterwork transforms 5th Edition into a complete epic-level system. You'll discover 12 meticulously balanced Epic Prestige Classes—from the devastating Reaver who channels raw might to shatter armies, to the Truespeaker who bends the fabric of reality with words of power. Each prestige class opens new narrative possibilities and mechanical depth that standard classes simply cannot reach.

The book delivers comprehensive rules for epic spells that make 9th-level magic look quaint, feats that grant abilities once reserved for deities, and skill checks that accomplish the impossible. Epic languages allow communication with primordial forces, while the divine ascension system provides a clear path from mortal hero to actual godhood.

Game Masters gain the tools to challenge even the most powerful parties with threats that match their epic abilities, while players discover prestige classes that feel genuinely transformative rather than incremental.
