Template
Steps 5, 7, and 8 are exceptions handled in
the Dark Pack agreement, where specific
changes to the character creation rules are
necessary to make them compatible with the
Dragon template. In the final draft, this
note will be removed.
With one act of pseudo-cannibalism
your character ceases to be human and
becomes something else. Whether that’s a
good thing is something to be questioned,
but there are advantages to holding such
power.
No character can possess multiple
supernatural templates. While a character
may be able to maintain abilities from her
human life, other supernatural features are
purged when she joins the Oroboroi. Only
mortals may become Dragons.
Method Method
Method
The means by which a Dragon came
upon her heart color the flame of her furnace,
and likewise the cut of her personality.
Though the method does not control how a
Dragon acts, Dragons of a certain method
can be expected to behave in a certain way.
After all, it takes a type to do things that
way.
A Method makes certain Aspects
more readily available, those that fit the
theme of the means. At least three dots of
the starting ten allotted to Aspects at
character creation must be spent within the
Dragon’s method.
School
School
Schools are both a means of blaming
the past and approaching the future. When a
Dragon becomes what she is she is made
aware of both the past of her new species
and their purpose. Schools of philosophy
help her approach this knowledge, justifying
the mistakes of her predecessors while
vowing to charge toward a better future (Or
what’s left of it).
Though a Dragon may find herself a
follower of many Philosophies, the one held
closest to her heart is that of her School, and
when a conflict of ethics occurs she will turn
to her School for guidance. Choosing a
school is a very personal matter; usually all
of the variables are internal. A select few
join schools due to external pressure, but
such decision usually backfires in the
Dragon’s future.
Check the Dominion schools
(pp.XX-XX)—or possibly the schools of the
Five Evils (pages XX-XX) if you selected
that merit—and pick one that fits your
character’s mindset. If you have trouble,
ask your Storyteller or the other players for
their opinion.
The biggest benefit of membership
in a school is the fantastic power born when
the philosophy manifests into reality.
Destruction, Oath, Health, Pain, and Mind
are engrained strengths all Dragons possess,
and Philosophies grant an outlet for those
strengths.
Furnace
Furnace
Sometimes a measure of age, and
sometimes a measure of stature, is your
character’s Furnace. The Furnace is a fire at
the core of every Dragon; a stoked fire that
makes them possible. A bigger Furnace
means a heartier Dragon, who has more
thoroughly embraced her new nature.
Dragons with higher Furnace manifest
Aspects more quickly, have more Breath to
spend on Philosophies and sects, and can
burn practically anything flammable to keep
the Furnace lit. Dragons with low Furnace
are slow to take their True Form, have little
breath to spare, and must eat carefully lest
