I didn't like the PrC idea at first, just something about the concept of your class being someone who found a magic sword. But if it integrates with the other classes that would work a lot better. Two suggestions I can think of here. First, make the legendary weapons only effective against very specific things, for example an evil humanoid race that serves the main bad guy (or whatever). This will also help with the problem of equipping NPC villains with Legendary Items, if the weapons don't work against them then it's not as much of a balance issue.The second suggestion would be to not limit this to weapons. There's already rules for intelligent rods and staves in the DMG. I haven't seen the "Swords" PDF yet, but presumably the rules could be ported to something similar. In this manner, your wizard could have a legendary staff to counterbalance the fighter's legendary sword, even if the staff doesn't have all that much combat potential.Then, there's no reason why these special little things should even be magic items. Now that I'm starting a new campaign I'm going to be restricting magic more, and was thinking of making a legendary-type sword for the duellist. Other people in the group get other special things that may not even be items- the twin half-elves, for example, will eventually discover that they have fae heritage, not elvish. This will open up a subplot for them and give access to some sort of fae magic or something (haven't decided yet). Essentially, everyone in the party gets a unique trait, and it doesn't have to be limited to magic weapons or even items.</blockquote>
