Enabling Big Epic Moves
The Knight Owls have always been something a little special. They operate outside the normal parameters of the core game of D&D 5th Edition, and thus are given further opportunities for epic checks, attacks, and successes. It also gives the resident Game Master permission to pull no punches, as the characters are better equipped for more difficult challenges and circumstances.
Each Asset is a custom-made card that grants a one-time epic boon, and no Asset is the same. Players are dealt 1 Asset every Knight Owls session they attend, and if the boon is not used during the session, they keep it for the following session in addition to the one they are dealt. They may only hoard a maximum of 3 Assets at one time.
Assets can only be spent, unless otherwise noted on the card, on the character that player controls. Whereas Inspiration CAN be spent on allies and enemies, Assets are tied to the character controlled by the player.
