to make up for their selfish indulgence when<br />

they lose control.<br />

But stolen credit eventually drives<br />

them mad. Despite the fact that they may be<br />

making the world a better place, they<br />

perpetually remain an insignificant nobody.<br />

This drives them to rise up and claim what<br />

should have been theirs all along.<br />

Unfortunately the methods used are the<br />

same that crushed them in the first place.<br />

Bad <strong>Dragon</strong> Mode: When in Bad<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> mode, Pride <strong>Dragon</strong>s step on others<br />

to get the job done. By drawing a group of<br />

people together under common banner,<br />

they’re able to claim the credit for a group<br />

effort and come out smelling like a rose.<br />

After all, their minions (as it were) are more<br />

than willing to let them have that honor. It<br />

has nothing at all to do with the philosophy<br />

that addles their sense of oath and makes<br />

them puppets… okay, that’s a lie. Bad Pride<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>s go big, or they go back to good<br />

mode and return to mediocrity.<br />

Pride <strong>Dragon</strong>s stay in bad mode the<br />

longest, as their thralls rarely show the<br />

initiative to gloat. When they do finally see<br />

an instance of their most detested sin they<br />

very quickly realize how foolish they’ve<br />

been acting, and the shame pulls them back<br />

into good mode.<br />

Philosophy: Pride <strong>Dragon</strong>s will<br />

only use their philosophy while in Bad<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> mode. <strong>The</strong>y move to populated<br />

areas and use the group mentality to sew<br />

promises, which then must be fulfilled by<br />

the honorable. And the Pride philosophy<br />

makes sure they’re honorable. Pride<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>s cause very little collateral damage<br />

themselves, but their mobs certainly get the<br />

job done.<br />

Province: Pride <strong>Dragon</strong>s love the<br />

city. What better place to remain<br />

anonymous than one that’s bursting at the<br />

seems with people? City folk are of course<br />

relentless in their corporate spelunking, and<br />

anyone willing to get stepped on is stepped<br />

on without a second thought. And when the<br />

shoeprints add up, revenge becomes the only<br />

option.<br />

Concept: doormat, mailroom clerk,<br />

archivist, delivery person, secretary,<br />

assistant, paralegal.<br />

Quote: Here’s your coffee, sir. And<br />

that report on the quarterly returns. I made<br />

<strong>The</strong> smoke belched from the building<br />

was surprisingly acrid. It struggled to climb<br />

into the sky, then exhaustedly sank toward<br />

the ground. As the choking smog settled on<br />

the street below the gathered crowd was<br />

thrown into an addled frenzy. “What the<br />

hell was in there?!” “Smells like refer to<br />

me. Enough to stuff ten elephants.”<br />

Victims of Greed quiver at the<br />

thought of becoming pack rats. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />

powerless to discard their possessions, yet<br />

terrified that others might snatch them. As a<br />

tragic point of irony, wealth gravitates to<br />

them. Greed <strong>Dragon</strong>s are the only ones who<br />

despise the concept of an Attra, and the only<br />

ones who will inflict their Attra on others.<br />

Greed swallows up the world around<br />

it. It is extensive. It is unnecessary. A tidal<br />

wave of possessions that drowns those that<br />

cannot wade it. But the stuff is really cool!<br />

And somebody might swipe it! And then<br />

you wouldn’t have it anymore! …Greed is<br />

probably the hardest desire to shake, and for<br />

good reason.<br />

Whenever a victim of Greed<br />

witnesses someone simply taking what they<br />

want—to the extent that would warrant a<br />

Greed Vice’s recovery of Willpower—they<br />

must roll Composure or slide into their other<br />

mode.<br />

their best to live a life of an ascetic. Purging
