[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8264620, member: 7023840"] "How to defeat creatures with legendary actions?" You ignore them. See, monsters, especially monsters with so-called "legendary actions" are nothing but gluttons for attention. Don't give them what they want. Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a legendary-action monster. Your normal PC will panic and immediately draw his sword and attack when he sees the big red dragon in front of him... and then he will start begging for mercy before his quick demise. [I]This is wrong. [/I] It arouses contempt in the monster-heart. The thing to do when your PC is bopping along and see that big ol' red dragon smack dab in front of him is to continue on as if the dragon wasn't even there. At first, the dragon won't even know what to make of your complete and total indifference to his majesty, power and so-called "legendary actions." The dragon may rage, may puff, but no matter. Let the dragon calm down; the dragon will want your attention, and the dragon will start jibber-jabbering like a teenager in order to get it. The idea is to let the dragon know who is in control. Not the dragon, not with any game-mandated legendary actions; but you, with a reservoir of inner cool that would make Steve McQueen green with envy. [/QUOTE]
