[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 6147447, member: 40176"] I really like the little touches like the way the creature shapes the territory around it. Even if the characters have no idea there's such a beast around, they'll start seeing the land becoming more twisted and inhospitable, and know that there's something nasty lurking at its centre. There's a very Tolkienesque feel to that, the land itself being shaped by powerful beings that dwell within it. The Legendary Actions concept is good, and like others I prefer it to triggered actions. It's not hard to manage when you're controlling just one creature. Legendary Resistance works on a black dragon, representing its ability to overcome magical effects, but I'd definitely like to see it changed up on other monsters. Maybe a more physically-oriented opponent would trade out fewer resistance point for more Legendary Action points. On that subject, one way of making that Legendary Resistance feel less like a 'gotcha' would be for it to cost a Legendary Action - maybe even two - to spend one of its Legendary Resistance points. So yes, it can do it, but that costs it other out-of-turn options that round. [/QUOTE]
