#1 pelt1118 Apr 27, 2015 19:20:46	I am running the final fight this fri for my group in the Rise of Tiamat. My question is about Tiamat's powers. It says until she fully steps through, she can only bite and use her breath weopen. So if only the white dragon head is out- does she still regen 30 pts? How about the legendary actions? Spell resitance?
#2 QwertyAzerty Apr 28, 2015 5:11:19	the only action, bonus action, legendary action, reaction she can do is bite and breath weapon. regen 30HP, spell resistance, damage immunity etc... are not action so she does benefit from them. legendary action she can do them as long as they are a bite or a breath weapon, and only with the head that his out (so when she only have the white head she can only breath once as a legendary action and bite once as an action. When the black head come out then she can do 2 legendary action, with 3 head she can use 3 legendary action etc...   and same goes for reaction, she only get 1 reaction per head. so on round 1 she only have 1 reaction and can only use bite on that reaction, then on round 2 (2 head out) she can use 2 reaction etc...

So, for an 'average' dragon, they get their Action on their turn and up to 3 legendary actions in a round, which makes them the destruction-dealers that they should be. I don't have the adventure but I assume Tiamat gets her Action with the heads that have emerged and however many legendary actions (breath or bite for each) the adventure specifies at the end of other creatures' turns.
