opposing school are moved to the school she
chooses (So Greed would become Bone if
she joined the schools of Dominion, and
Wrath 2 Ash 3 becomes Wrath 5 if she
joined the schools of the Five Evils. Excess
dots revert back to experience). The Dragon
must choose to remove her own heart, no
one can force her. Should another try to
submit her through the ritual, the Heart
remains separated for one day at which point
it returns safely to her chest (Unless
devoured in that time).
Dragon Dragon-Born Dragon Born ( (●● ( to to ●●●●)
Character Creation Only
Prerequisite: Non-Dragon character.
Effect: Though most dragons are
incapable of producing draconic offspring,
they can still breed with mortals. Children
born of one Oroboroi parent are natural
leaders, though they aren't particularly
supernatural.
Dragon-Born begin play with an
extra skill specialty, and are better prepped
for dragonhood when they reach maturity, in
that they gain a general sense of what it
means to be a Dragon, what Dragons are
capable of, and their bodies are better
designed to house a Dragon Furnace upon
the metamorphosis. Dragon-Born make
great contacts, but they themselves usually
yearn for Hearts of their own. A Dragon-
Born that devours a Heart rolls a number of
dice equal to their dots in this merit. If
successful, they begin their life as one of the
Oroboroi with an extra dot of Furnace.
A Dragon who has a child with a
mortal produces a 4-Dot Dragon-Born. That
hybrid can then mate with mortals to create
a 3-Dot generation, who would subsequently
produce a 2-Dot generation. 2-Dot Dragon-
Born are too far from the potency of Dragon
genetics to produce children with this
special advantage; all their children are
mortal.
If hybrids of two different ratings breed, the
resulting child has a rating equal to one less
than the highest-ranking parent. Two
hybrids of the same rating produce a child
with that rating.
Having this Merit does not prevent
the subject from having other templatespecific
Merits, like wolf-blooded. This
Merit is lost when the owner becomes
supernatural, though the specialty remains.
This Merit may only be taken at character
creation.
Bond Bond of of Brood Brood Brood ( (●●●●●) ( (
Prerequisite: Non-Dragon character.
Effect: Dragons fall in love with
mortals. Not just carnal love, sometimes it's
genuine infallible friendship. But the length
of a Dragon's lifespan is a heavy burden.
Sometimes, she likes to share that burden.
The Bond of Brood is a ritual in
which the Dragon makes a willing
participant like family. She removes a
portion of her heart and gives it to the
participant for consumption. In return, the
participant will cough up a piece of his own
heart after eating the segment of hers. She
swallows this piece, and the ritual is
complete. The participant must be mortal to
take part in this ritual.
From that moment on, the Participant
has a Furnace rating of 1, and can increase it
up to 3 with experience if he so desires. He
can also 'borrow' up to 5 points of Aspects
that the heart-segment owner possesses.
While he is using those Aspects, she cannot
activate them herself (For more information,
see page XX in Chapter 3). The participant
may also use up to the third level in the
Dragon's highest Philosophy. In addition,
his natural lifespan is doubled.
This gift does not come without a
price for the dragon. She loses the capacity
to reach Furnace 10 until her heart is whole
again, and each subsequent "Bond of Brood"
means another level of furnace that can
never be reached. From the ritual forward,
she also shares degeneration roles with the
mortal; whenever he sins against Morality
