<strong>Dragon</strong>s are smart. <strong>The</strong>y’d have to<br />

be to stay sane over all the long years of<br />

their lifetime. If a <strong>Dragon</strong> had memory<br />

problems, her double life could end quickly<br />

in a lapse of poor judgment, or out of fear<br />

that she’ll expose the Oroboroi lifestyle. So<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>s stay sharp, and those that really<br />

need to stay on the ball use this Aspect.<br />

Each point manifest grants the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> a +1 bonus to Intelligence, but to<br />

make use of this massive surge of capacity<br />

for the scene she must spend a point of<br />

Breath.<br />

In addition, once during any<br />

conversation in which the <strong>Dragon</strong><br />

participates she may pull relevant<br />

information from thin air by spending a<br />

point of Willpower and rolling Intelligence<br />

with a relevant mental skill. Though the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> herself draws this information, it<br />

does not stay with her. At the end of the<br />

scene she is unable to remember what fact<br />

the roll derived, and must rely on others to<br />

retain it.<br />

Type: Sequential<br />

Cost: 1 Breath to use the Intelligence for the<br />

scene<br />

1 Willpower to summon up relevant<br />

info<br />

Dice Pool: Intelligence + Relevant Mental<br />

Skill<br />

Action: Reflexive (Attributes) or Instant<br />

(Info)<br />

Roll Results<br />

Dramatic Failure: <strong>The</strong> factoid is wrong,<br />

but the <strong>Dragon</strong> is so convincing her words<br />

are taken as fact. Though this can<br />

sometimes be harmless, it often explodes in<br />

the <strong>Dragon</strong>’s face.<br />

Failure: <strong>The</strong> factoid is useless or irrelevant.<br />

Success: <strong>The</strong> factoid deftly sums up the<br />

discussion in a neat package, or leads to a<br />

breakthrough that advances the discussion’s<br />

goals. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dragon</strong> is likely praised for her<br />

input.<br />

Exceptional Success: In addition to success,<br />

the <strong>Dragon</strong> recovers her spent Willpower<br />

and may attempt to fetch another fact in the<br />

same conversation.<br />

While this Aspect is manifest, the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>’s hair becomes wild and unruly. If<br />

she is deficient of hair, it grows to a length<br />

whereupon it can be wild and unruly. No<br />

amount of combing or pampering will settle<br />

the frazzled locks.<br />

Trail Trail of of Scales Scales (Queen (Queen of of Sp Spades) Sp ades)<br />

<strong>The</strong> footprints a person leaves in<br />

their wake are not simply physical; their<br />

impact has a far more lasting effect than is<br />

immediately apparent. Being masters of the<br />

Material realm, <strong>Dragon</strong>s can pick up on cold<br />

or even buried trails if they need to find<br />

information.<br />

Each odd point manifest grants a +1<br />

bonus to Investigation, and each even point<br />

manifest grants a +1 bonus to Computers.<br />

For a single Willpower point the <strong>Dragon</strong><br />

may search for a specified target simply by<br />

observing him in media (magazines,<br />

television interviews, newspapers, and so<br />

on). This is an extended research roll in<br />

thirty second intervals with a maximum<br />

number of rolls equal to points manifest.<br />

<strong>The</strong> required number of successes is<br />

dependent on the obscurity of the subject.<br />

Such scouring has its limitations,<br />

though, and can only be attempted once per<br />

day per subject. Still, if the <strong>Dragon</strong> does not<br />

learn enough to locate her target, she can<br />

always hit the beat. After all the rolls are<br />

used up, the <strong>Dragon</strong> may apply the<br />

successes to a traditional extended<br />

investigation, though this usually takes<br />

MUCH longer.<br />

Type: Odd/Even<br />

Cost: 1 Willpower to commence Media<br />

Scour<br />

Dice Pool: Wits + Investigation or Wits +<br />

Computers depending on media observed.
