Challenger: Challenger: The The Devoted Devoted Monster, Monster, Those Those who who Claim Claim through through Skill Skill
Finders brought a degree of
approachability back to Dragonkind, and the
first to take advantage of that became the
Challengers. Bested by arrogance Dragons
were willing to gamble their Heart on the
life of an opponent when challenged to a test
of skill, just for the amusement of crushing
the poor bastard when he lost. Well, some
of them didn’t, and the Dragon became
bound to keep the promise. Regardless of
how Challengers become aware of the
Oroboroi, they all feel the great burden of
power and longevity has addled a Dragon’s
modesty. Old leaders don’t grow with the
times, and need to be replaced. If the
Challenger can humble the incumbent,
maybe she’s better for the job.
Challengers pick a subject and focus
to perfection. There’s one skill or feature
they hold above all other, and to the best of
their effort they try to be the best. Most
actually are. They are bound by the rules of
honor, ingrained by the honor shown them
when they first won their own Heart. This
doesn’t mean they are incapable of betrayal;
it just means they betray their newest oath
first.
Aspects of the Challenger Method
are focused on being socially just, good to
their word, and focused to the extent of
perfection. If a mob is gathering to stop a
corrupt official, a Challenger will be leading
the charge. In one on one contests, the
Challenger will no doubt win. A Challenger
runs her Province by
pure charisma and talent.
There is power to be had
in numbers, and she has
no problem acquiring
them.
Challengers
begin play with an extra
dot of Wits, and their
Wits limit is one higher
than that of their other
Attributes.
