suffer contact burns. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong>’s clothes<br />

may singe and burn away, though she can<br />

spend Breath to protect herself and her<br />

valuables for the scene.<br />

Whipping Whipping Whipping Tail Tail (Nine (Nine of of Hearts) Hearts)<br />

Hearts)<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong> is possessed of a tail<br />

more agile than most, and the added length<br />

and finesse improves her balance greatly.<br />

She tires less easily because her posture is<br />

improved, and her prowess in combat<br />

becomes unparalleled.<br />

For each odd point manifest, the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> gains a +1 bonus to Brawl. For each<br />

even point manifest, the <strong>Dragon</strong> gains a +1<br />

bonus to Athletics. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong> may wield<br />

equipment with her tail as if it were her offhand<br />

(even if she is ambidextrous, it is still<br />

treated as an off-hand), and may hang by her<br />

tail effortlessly. If lifting an object and<br />

using her tail in the effort, the <strong>Dragon</strong>’s<br />

strength is increased by the points manifest<br />

in Whipping Tail for the sake of calculating<br />

her lifting capacity. For more information<br />

on lifting, see the World of Darkness<br />

Rulebook, page 47.<br />

While this Aspect is manifest, the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>’s tail elongates by half again. If she<br />

has not yet acquired a tail, manifesting this<br />

Aspect forms the tail as well.<br />

Why Why buy buy Skills?<br />

Skills?<br />

Many Aspects provide a bonus to skills,<br />

improving the natural talents an Oroboroi<br />

in her proper body possesses. However,<br />

if she is not skilled to begin with, even<br />

the added expertise is not enough to<br />

outweigh the unfamiliarity. For this<br />

reason, skill bonuses provided by<br />

Aspects do not nullify the untrained<br />

penalty. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong> must know at least<br />

a little about what she’s doing in order to<br />

take full advantage of her new traits.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Aspects, on the other hand, are not<br />

throttled by the maximums imposed on a<br />

character. With clever use of Aspect and<br />

Skill training, a <strong>Dragon</strong> can get up to<br />

eight dots in a single Skill.<br />

Reptilian Reptilian Fear Fear Fear (Eight (Eight of of Hearts)<br />

Hearts)<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong> knows how to make use<br />

of her cold-blooded half, and people around<br />

her notice. She utilizes this trait when she<br />

wants to acquire something through force, or<br />

if she wants to better relate with the animal<br />

kingdom. As material kings, this is often an<br />

essential trait to bear.<br />

Mortals are ill at ease around the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>, making threats and torture more<br />

effective. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong> gains a +1 bonus to<br />

Intimidation for each odd point manifest.<br />

On the other side of the coin, creatures find<br />

it easier to relate to the <strong>Dragon</strong>. She gains a<br />

+1 bonus to Animal Ken for each even point<br />

manifest. When Willpower is spent to<br />

improve a roll, all these bonuses are doubled.<br />

Type: Odd/Even<br />

Cost: None<br />

While this Aspect is manifest, the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>’s eyes slit like those of a common<br />

reptile, and she exudes an aura of aggression<br />

that makes other uncomfortable.
