This page is about content that is exclusive to Honour mode.
Legendary actions are a type of resource available to some characters while in Honour mode. A character with a legendary action will have an associated passive and condition - while the condition is active, the character can use their legendary action. Once per round,[note 1] a character may use their legendary action, often as a reaction to being dealt damage. Legendary actions restore at the beginning of a new round.
While in Tactician, dragons will also have legendary actions available.
Once per round when an enemy targets their ally with an ability, Dror Ragzlin can use a Legendary Action to Galvanise Absolutists within 5 m / 17 ft, granting them Action Surge.
Once per round when a creature dies, Balthazar can use his Legendary Action to create a necrotic miasma where it fell that heals Undead 4d6hit points and deals 4d6Necrotic to living creatures at the start of their turns.
Once per round, Gerringothe Thorm can spend a Legendary Action to try and turn her enemies into gold, incapacitating them for 4 turns, when she loses a piece of armour.
If a creature ends its turn within 5 m / 17 ft of the Shambling Mound, it will take 3d10Necrotic and Shadow-Cursed Vines will grow at its feet, possibly Entangling it.
Once per round, Thisobald Thorm can use his Legendary Action when his brew is changed by a foe's attack to make it overflow, dealing +1d6 of the corresponding damage type.
Once per round when a humanoid dies, the Ch'r'ai can spend a legendary action to Sacrifice its soul to Vlaakith in return for great power. Once 3 souls have been sacrificed, the Ch'r'ai takes on Vlaakith's Undying Aspect.
