Step one

Where does your power come from?

Six Origins decide what you can do and who you can never fully be. Some Powers are locked to a single Origin, so the table you build is the table you get.

  • Origin 01

    Human

    No powers. No excuses.

    Born without powers, a Human is built from training, gear and nerve. Everything you can do, you earned.

  • Origin 02

    Exo-Human

    Human, pushed past the limit.

    Human at the core, changed by something from outside: technology, treatment or accident. Your edge has a source, and someone wants it back.

  • Origin 03

    Metamorph

    Born to change.

    Elemental force, restorative gifts, bodies that adapt. Metamorphs wield Powers that no one else at the table can touch.

  • Origin 04

    Exo-Morph

    Rarer. Stranger. Harder to predict.

    Where a Metamorph’s gifts meet an outside influence. Few know exactly what an Exo-Morph can become, including the Exo-Morph.

  • Origin 05

    Xenite

    Not from here.

    Alien biology, alien rules. Xenites see Earth from the outside and carry strengths the world has no name for.

  • Origin 06

    Vampire

    Old hunger. Older grudges.

    Powers with a price. Vampires carry centuries of history in a single Persona, and every one of those years wants a say.

Step two

How do you solve problems?

Your Archetype shapes your history, your role in the group and the new Powers and Abilities you gain as your Persona levels up.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Knightverge Legacy a fantasy game?

No. Knightverge Legacy is a superhero tabletop roleplaying game set in the Knightverge comic universe. There is no magic and there are no spells. Power comes from your Origin, your training and your gear.

What is a Persona?

A Persona is the character you play. The word covers the whole identity: the name, the Origin, the Archetype and the Traits that make them who they are.

What is the difference between Powers and Abilities?

Powers are locked to certain Origins. A Metamorph can wield elemental force, for example, and a Human cannot. Abilities are open to everyone: anything gained through training or equipment, like a signature weapon technique.

Do I need to know the Knightverge comics?

No. The game teaches you the universe as you play. If you do read the comics, Knightverge Legacy lets you step into the same world from the inside.

I play D&D. Will this feel familiar?

Yes. Origins, Traits and Archetypes map directly onto species, ability scores and classes, so the shape of a game will feel familiar. The difference is the setting: modern superheroes instead of swords and sorcery.

When can I get the Player’s Guide?

The Player’s Guide is in development. Follow the Dispatches page for updates, and use the Rules page to learn the core system today.
