Legendary Monsters

A Legendary Monster is the rarest monster type in Quest of Destiny. These monsters are generally the strongest and most dangerous of all of the Monster types. Legendary Monsters act more like player characters than the Simple Monster. Instead of talking all of its actions at the same initiative within the round as the Simple Monster does, the Legendary Monster takes recoveries based on their specific action. For example a Legendary Monster might take a move action which has a recovery of 3 and then take another action 3 segments later. The Legendary Monster might take a cast action with a recover of 6 and would act again 6 segments later.

Like Complex Monsters, a Legendary Monster's abilities are broken up into three categories: At-Will, Short Rest, and Extended Rest. At-Will abilities are generally unlimited and may be used as frequently as possible (though sometimes they have a short limitation on their frequently, usually limited by rounds). Powers in the Short Rest category are limited to a certain number of uses per Short Rest, while powers in the Extended Rest category are limited to a certain number of uses per Extended Rest. These uses indicate the total number of abilities that may be used from within the category, and have no bearing on the frequency of one power's use over another (i.e. you can use the same power multiple times, or each power once). The number of uses that a creature gains per category varies and is listed within each category's attack box. As a general rule, a creature cannot use two Short Rest or Extended Rest powers in a row, and should vary their power usage among the available categories. Legendary Monsters also have an Automatic Action, that it may take once at any point during the round without fail (even when the creature is otherwise prevented from taking actions).

Unlike Simple Monsters, Legendary monsters do not automatically fail their first save. They can also make a save every 2 segments just like a player character. Additionally, a legendary monster, is usually the equivalence of 4 or more player characters in abilities.

The specifics of description, abilities, characteristics and all other properties are found under each individual Legendary Monster's description.

Legendary Monsters generally have higher hitpoints, stamina, and resolve than any other type of monster.
