exact details:
types of talents here, each categorized on
how they are supposed to be used. They are Traits,
Actions, Reactions, and Legendary Actions.
Traits. The most common talent type. They
are often characterized as a passive talent, such
as improvements to existing abilities, added
resistances, or new ongoing effects like auras.
Others are features like innate spellcasting abilities,
options that require it to take a bonus action, or
even grant a monster Legendary Actions!
Action. A talent that provides the creature with
the use of an action, such as a breath attack or spell
like ability. Some actions can be used each turn
while others have charges or limits per day.
Reaction. A talent that provides the creature with
the use of a reaction.
Legendary Action. A talent that provides the
creature with the use of a legendary action.
Legendary actions will always come with a cost.

nto the Dragon’s Maw is an exciting five to six hour D&D 5E
adventure for characters of 4th to 6th level but can be easily
adjusted for a lower or higher level party. It is originally
designed to be used with the Tyranny of Dragons campaign but can
be easily adapted to any setting.
The party must race to an abandoned Cult of the Dragon lair to
stop a rogue wizard from unleashing an evil artifact. They soon
discover and remember that not all things are what they seem.
The adventure unfolds in a unique way that builds up to a
shocking “M Night Shyamalan” kind of twist and an incredible
climactic ending!
