Want to make your epic battles in your game even more epic-er? Of course you do. And to help, Running Off the Rails has created Emery’s Log of Legendary Eminences to help spice up combat versus powerful foes. You can check out this RPG supplement up on Kickstarter now.
From the campaign:
A Legendary Eminence is a powerful ability or feature that becomes weaker or inactive when a monster uses a Legendary Resistance. Emery’s Log of Legendary Eminences is a 5th Editiontoolkit that will revolutionize Legendary Resistances at your table. No longer will players be disappointed by monsters simply “choosing” to succeed against their most exciting abilities. Now, the monster makes a significant sacrifice to keep themselves in the fight with immediate mechanical and narrative consequences.
…
Our design team felt that many 5E statblocks do not tell a story. So many iconic monsters are steeped in rich lore and history, but those details are rarely reflected in mechanics. We used Legendary Eminences as an opportunity to place these narrative details at the center of your encounter.
In some cases, we use Legendary Eminences to cover a glaring weakness. For example, the Tarrasque can now interact with players trying to attack it at range out to 450 feet.
The campaign’s well above its funding goal (being fair, they weren’t asking for much) with 10 days left to go.
