Auxiliaries (Duality&Dice 5e Homebrew)

A part of the Duality&Dice 5e Homebrew, basically Legendary Actions for the players.

Auxiliary List

How Auxiliaries Work

The concept of Auxiliaries themselves aren't simple. Here's a quick explanation over how they work. An Auxiliary can be activated at any time during a round unless otherwise stated in the Auxiliary's description. Most Auxiliaries have only 1 charge unless stated by the Auxiliary. An Auxiliary can only be used as many times as it has charges. If an Auxiliary does not have the maximum amount of charges it can have, it will start a recharge.

Explaining Recharging

A recharge goes down by 1 at the start of each round, when the cooldown reaches 0, the recharge is activated. A regular recharge grants 1 charge when the recharge is activated. A full recharge grants all charges back on a recharge. If an Auxiliary is noted to have "No Charges", it will not follow this charge principle and the Auxiliary will state the conditions of the custom recharge.
