Dragon: The Embers Core Book - MrGone's Character Sheets

Action: Reflexive
While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
physically bulks to accommodate the extra
muscle mass. The muscle arrangement
appears almost… reptilian, and those that
are attentive will notice.
Attribute Attribute Bumps Bumps
Bumps
Certain Aspects, as well as True Form,
grant bonuses to attributes. These
bonuses not only increase dice pools, but
also alter derived traits. It’s important to
keep track of which traits are changed by
which attribute, but if you can’t
remember here’s a quick guide.
Speed: Strength + Dexterity + 5
Health: Stamina + Size
Willpower: Resolve + Composure
Defense: Lower of Dexterity or Wits
Initiative Mod: Dexterity + Composure
Also important to note is the attribute
limit imposed by Furnace. Or rather, that
it only applies to basic attributes and not
those modified by Aspects. If a Dragon
has a Strength rating of 5 and Strength
limit of 5, she may still use this Aspect to
increase her Strength (up to 10 if she
owns all five dots).
Body Body Spines Spines (Queen (Queen of of of Blades) Blades)
Blades)
Making use of the trait that made
porcupines famous, the Slayer covers her
body in a layer of sharp, thin spikes that
both protect her and maim her foes.
The spines act as an incentive for the
Dragon to close in on her prey. Whenever a
close-range action somehow involving the
Dragon succeeds, the Dragon gets to roll a
follow-up attack to inflict bashing damage.
In effect, she jabs with the spines to both
injure and repel.
It is important to note that the
Dragon may use these spines following her
own attacks. This makes it a very powerful
combat tool, though it serves little other
purpose.

Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The Dragon manages to
prick herself with her own spines. She
suffers a single point of bashing damage.
Failure: The spines miss.
Success: The spines hit, inflicting a number
of bashing wounds equal to the Dragon’s
successes.
Exceptional Success: Besides the massive
damage, the spines detach and remain in the
victim’s body. All wounds inflicted by the
spines become resistant until the hollow
shafts of scale are removed, and doing so
inflicts a single point of lethal damage.
While this Aspect is manifest, the
Dragon’s becomes covered in thin spines.
They are quite similar to those of the
common porcupine. Unless otherwise
prepared, the spines will puncture any
clothing the Dragon may have been wearing.
Sworn Sworn Foe Foe (Jack (Jack of of Blades)
Blades)
In the old legends a single knight
would go to face the Dragon of the Province,
in the hopes of slaying it and freeing the
land. Some believed it was a matter of
honor and glory, but the clever ones realized
sending more was a waste of good soldiers.
The Dragon knows how to single out a
target, and others find it difficult to interfere.
Those that do are quickly turned to firewood.
The Dragon makes sure the battle
odds lay in her favor. While this Aspect is
manifest she may declare a Sworn Foe, and
the grounds on which they will battle. All
others who try to interfere in this exchange
between her and her Foe suffer a penalty to
act equal to the points manifest in this
