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.
