• Legendary Resistance (1/Day) – If you fail a saving throw, you can choose to succeed instead.

Set Item – Crown of the Dragonlord. This item is part of the Crown of the Dragonlord set. Individually, the five dragon masks resemble the dragons they are named for. When two or more of the dragon masks are assembled, however, they transform magically into the Mask of the Dragon Queen. Each mask shrinks to become the modeled head of a chromatic dragon, appearing to roar its devotion to Tiama, If all the masks brought together they are arranged in a crown-like shape around the wearers head and below the five masks, the wearer gains a new draconic visage that covers the face, neck and shoulders.

While attuned and wearing this mask, you can have any of the properties from any one mask. Additionally, you gain the Damage Absorbption frokm each of the five dragon maks, and you gain five uses of the Legendary Resistance property.

Relic: Dragons who are attuned can permently change their dragon colour to that of the Dragon Mask. While they share the colour they can refresh Legendary Resistance on a short rest, and have a extra use per day.
