Suit Suit Suit of of Diamonds Diamonds (Traits (Traits possessed possessed possessed of

Challengers)
Challengers)
Honorable, inspiring, and passionate,
the Suit of Diamonds is best fit to a
Challenger. There’s a certain degree of
showmanship and grandeur these traits
entail that are just harder to grasp for other
Dragons.
Besides the Heart Suit, these Aspects
are the cheapest available to a Challenger.
All other methods must pay the highest price
to purchase Aspects of this method, as they
do not suit their Heart as readily. By now
you’ve probably gotten the idea that all the
methods have only their face cards
remaining.
Impassioned Impassioned Effort Effort Effort (Ace (Ace (Ace of of Diamonds
Diamonds)
Diamonds
Driven by their sheer force of will,
some Dragons have bursts of incredible
stunts; the scope of which are wholly
legendary. It’s not surprising they were
treated as gods. What was actually a
moment of passion became a symbol of
divinity, and the Dragon was more than
happy to accept the praise.
When a Dragon with this Aspect
manifest uses Willpower to increase her dice
pool or resistance traits, she may spend one
ADDITIONAL point to bump that value by
her “Impassioned Effort”. For example, a
Dragon with “Impassioned Effort” 4 could
spend two Willpower to add +7 to her attack
instead of the usual +3. This Aspect allows
the Dragon to spend two Willpower points
in a single turn instead of the usual limit of
one, though only in the manner described.
For more information on augmenting rolls
with Willpower, see the World of Darkness
Rulebook, page 95.
Type: Sequential
Cost: 1 additional Willpower to augment the
action
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive
While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
forms a Mohawk fin stretching from mid-
scalp to the back of the neck. The coloration
of this fin is dependent on that of the
underbelly. It can usually be concealed
(relatively uncomfortably) under a hood.
Skill Skill of of the the Gods Gods (King (King of of of Diamonds
Diamonds)
Diamonds
More a reflection of the training that
precedes a battle of skill, the rote talent that
costs Challengers their Hearts bleeds over
into this trait. Certain skills become
elevated over all others, to the scale of the
gods.
When purchased, each dot of this
Aspect is assigned to a particular Skill.
When the point corresponding to that dot is
manifest, the Target Number for rolls
involving that Skill is reduced from 8 to 7.
That means any roll of 7 or higher is a
success. To make use of such awesome
talent, a point of Breath must be spent in the
scene.
Type: Compound
Cost: 1 Breath to use lowered Target
Numbers for the scene
Dice Pool: None
Action: Reflexive
While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
acquires a dorsal fin between her shoulders.
This structure is too pronounced to conceal
effectively and often pierces through
clothing.
Natural Natural Inspiration Inspiration (Queen (Queen of of Diamonds
Diamonds)
Diamonds
Though not particularly crafty
themselves, Dragons have been the
inspiration of art the world over. In dozens
of mediums in hundreds of styles, they have
appeared virtually everywhere.
The Dragon’s very presence serves
as a muse to those around her. Within a
radius in yards equal to the Dragon’s
Furnace, all subjects receive a +1 bonus to
Crafts for each odd point manifest and a +1
bonus to Politics for each even point
manifest. The Dragon herself does not
receive this bonus. Should she expend a
