If I were a certain class, and there was a piece of equipment that I wanted to use but I couldn't because I'm not the right class, is there any way I can use that equipment? I think that if I level up my dexterity enough then I can, but I want to get the facts so I don't just waste souls on a wild goose chase.
Ny way that I can use non-class weapons as a Pyromancer

There doesn't seem to be any for now. DLCs might change that but there's no information out about that as far as I know. I'll update this answer if it changes.
- Getting all the rings, spells, weapons, ect require at least 3 playthroughs, but there's no other special requirements. Assuming Steam achievements are correct, that indicates there's no hidden/secret items.
- There's no way out of the various secret areas beside bonfires or using an item (which counts as using the bonfire you teleport to as far as I can tell).
- People have done no death runs and haven't gotten anything.
- You cannot respawn bosses.
- The game files have been datamined and no such thing have been found.
- Dark Souls item descriptions have always been vague lore dumps; the previous flasks descriptions says similar stuff.
The Ashes of Ariandel DLC is now out. There is still no special challenges as far as I know, but there are two noteworthy secrets.
If you return to the friendly Corvian Settler NPC after clearing the DLC, he will give you a Titanite Slab.
If you followed the "Lord of Hollows" questline and speak to Yuria with Sister Friede's soul in your inventory, she will have something new to say.
The Ringed City DLC has been out for a while now and still no special challenges have been found. Noteworthy stuff:
After killing the last boss, you can return to the painter girl in the Ariandel Chapel for some new dialog.
After killing the last boss, you can take a right from the boss door to find the ruins of a church. Shira will spawn and attack you. Defeating her will give you her weapon, and her armor can be found in the now-open room where she would talk to you.
In the last boss area, follow the left wall to find a lone wandering ringed knight with dual greatswords. He drops a titanite slab the first time you kill him.
It's possible to have direct connection if you are within LAN, but initial matchmaking happens using official game servers in Internet. That means both of you need to purchase the game (if it's not done already).
So for your game it looks like this:
- Go to matchmaking server to find someone to connect. If you are using password matchmaking the game will chose your friend to connect.
- Send packets directly via LAN after they join your game. I'm not sure if it's possible to disable Internet connection at this point.
This video shows how local LAN play looks like - they have no lag at all.

Technically, there are no class-based weapons in Dark Souls 3. Each weapon requires certain stats in order to use effectively, which can either be Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, or Faith. When you choose your class in the beginning, this sets your starting stats to what they would need to be in order play in the style.
After you choose your class, you are free to tailor your stats as you see fit when you level up. So even if you began as a Pyromancer, you are able to increase your dexterity stat to whatever you want it to be to use any weapon you desire. However, Pyromancers starts off with fairly low dexterity. If the weapon requires too high of dexterity, you might want to increase your relative magic stats first
