How about a legendary action that is much stronger than other legendary actions but prevents the creature from gain legendary action points until the end of it's next turn.
Basically it would use this legendary action and then it can't gain more legendary action points until later in the fight.

[valwenventureco]

so something like.
Deep Breath (costs 2 actions) the dragon breaths in deeply recovering the use of there breath weapon. this action can not be taken if the dragon used its breath weapon during its last turn.

[archersfriend]

What if dragons got to breath three times per day and did their current hit points in damage each breath like older editions. I would rather have a big legendary action that removed status effects, that way they can keep grabbing and dropping characters. It's the status effects that torch dragons, nothing breaks immersion like Sentinel.

Or as you said in a future video you could make this a two or even three turn length attack locking it down or if it were to stop then getting some type of debuff to itself

Action economy is king. Granted it was 6PCs, but I've had a level 12 party take out an ancient dragon in two turns with good rolls. I like the idea, but I think devoting more than one legendary action misses out on too much damage/mobility. Especially with the restriction on when it can be used. Now, if it was a combo of recharge AND restrain (or just damage), that may be worth 2 L.A.s.

[ShadowShogun]

I also didn't like the random recharge roll at start of the turn: Lackluster.
Instead I roll at the End of its turn after use and narrate its charge up if successful.

[thejuggernautofspades]

Or alt breath weapon

Like a element sphere cemtered on dragon just large enough to hit melee units

As a GM, why are you giving yourself more behind-the-scenes descisions to make?
