Once this Philosophy is activated, the
Dragon is free to catch a gulp of air and stop
talking.

Dramatic Failure: The Pride Dragon is
rendered Socially Invisible, with a -5
penalty to each proclamation roll. She
remains this way for five days.
Failure: The Pride Dragon says some
terrible faux-pas that offends the entirety of
the crowd. They disperse immediately, and
the Dragon must start again with a new
group.
Success: Again, so long as she remains in
the crowd the Dragon can issue commands
and the group will obey. However, at this
level the commands can be anything, even
acts of self mutilation. Important
individuals may still try to break free from
the crowd, but until they do the group
mentality forces them to carry out the Pride
Dragon’s commands. This effect lasts for a
number of days equal to the successes rolled.
Exceptional Success: In addition to success,
those individuals who wish to break from
the crowd may only attempt so after
suffering damage, and then only once before
suffering damage again.
Greed
Greed
The Philosophy of Greed is founded
on laying traps along possessions, the main
type of trap being one that preys on the
health of the victim.
Force: Health
Yin: Bone
Karmic Backlash: Splatter. The
Greed Dragon becomes covered in the same
mystical paint she was manipulating. The
Dragon is subject to any subsequent effects
that would be applied by touch, until the
paint fades. Part of the karmic backlash is
the lack of knowledge that she’s exposed
herself. Each time she uses a level of the
Greed Philosophy, she gets to roll Wits +
Stamina, penalized based on the level failed,
to figure out what she’s done.
Mark Mark the the Possession Possession ( (●) (
The Greed Dragon coats an object
with a mystical paint that only those of her
Philosophy can see. Any who touch the
object get this Greed paint on their hands,
letting the Dragon easily identify if an object
has been tampered with and inflicting the
poor thief with any curse lain on the object.
Curses (further Greed Philosophies) are
applied to the paint, which can be on object
or thief. Unfortunately (or maybe
fortunately) the paint does not stick well
once it dries, and flakes off mere minutes
later.
The paint is usually only useful on
inanimate things. While a living creature
could be coated (like perhaps a pet), it
would suffer the same ill intended to ward
off plunders.
If the being attempting to take the
object is supernatural in some way, a Wits +
Subterfuge roll may be made to see if
something is amiss. Without an exceptional
success, the being cannot tell what is off
about the object, but will be loathe touching
it.
Cost: None
Dice Pool: Dexterity + Subterfuge +

Dramatic Failure: The Greed Dragon is
splattered, with a -1 penalty to detect it. She
can continue to apply curses to the object,
but will suffer their vengeance herself.
Failure: The mystic ‘paint’ is not prepared
properly, and dries almost instantly. The
Dragon must prepare a new batch.
