Scales Scales (King (King of of Hearts)
Hearts)
In many of the tales of old, it was
said that mortal weapons served no purpose
against the scales of the Dragon. Weapons
of all materials were repelled by their
mighty armored skin. In that same tradition
Dragons who use this Aspect become nigh
invincible, repelling all but the strongest
strikes.
Each active point in this Aspect
grants the Dragon a +1/+1 rating to their
armor, save the fifth point which also makes
the armor bulletproof. This rating may be
applied on top of any other armor the
Dragon may be utilizing, as the armor is
both biological and space-efficient.

While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
becomes covered in a thick layer of wide
scales, colored solid in a tone of the Player’s
choice. A True Form Dragon may already
have scales, but they are much smaller and
mostly aesthetic. In a way, the wide scales
given by this Aspect resemble the armor of
an armadillo.
Wings Wings (Queen (Queen (Queen of of Hearts)
Hearts)
Often when depicted in western art a
Dragon sports a pair of leathery wings, used
to soar over villages and terrorize the
populace below. Not all Dragons have
wings, but many of them like to fly. This
Aspect allows them to do so.
Having any amount of points active
in this Aspect allows the Dragon to take to
the sky. The speed at which she flies is
equal to (Strength + Stamina) x the active
points in the Wings Aspect. Flight can be
incredibly useful to escape combat and find
cover or get a high-ground advantage.

While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
sprouts wings in the mid-shoulder region.
These wings can be feathered, flesh, or even
a whirling vortex of fog, but such aesthetics
must be determined when the Aspect is
purchased.
Natural Natural Weaponry Weaponry (Jack (Jack of of Hearts)
Hearts)
Dragons were not legendary simply
for their longevity and fortitude. They were
dangerous, and they had a personal arsenal
of biological weapons to throw at their
enemies. Each point of this Aspect unlocks
another tool of destruction.
When dots of this Aspect are
purchased, they are assigned to one of the
weapons below. Manifesting the point that
corresponds to that dot gives the Dragon
access to that weapon.
Type: Compound
Cost: None
Dice Pool: Varies
Action: Instant
Teeth and Jaw: The Dragon’s jaw is a
snapper like those possessed by carnivorous
turtles, and the mouth is filled with sharp
teeth. This weapon allows lethal bite attacks
(Made with Strength + Brawl) without first
restraining the target or establishing a
grapple, and without those pesky penalties.
Damage for the Teeth and Jaw is equal to
the points manifest in this aspect.
Claws: The fingers from second joint to
tip are vicious self-contained knives of bone
designed for slashing and puncture. The
claws have a pierce rating equal to the points
manifest in this aspect, and they can be used
with fighting styles such as Boxing. Attacks
with the Claws are made with Strength +
Brawl, and the damage is two lethal.
Tail Spikes and Scythe: The Dragon
sprouts a tail if not already sporting one, and
the tail’s tip is covered in spikes. A sharp
blade roughly one foot in length adorns the
end. This weapon can be used to strike
