They can have scales, feathers, or even fur. Some have wings capable of flight, while others are aquatic and serpentine, or deadly land-based predators.  \nDragons come in many shapes and forms, and this supplement should allow you to design one to your own specification.  \nAs well as defining the dragon race and its related Edges and Hindrances, Savage Dragons also provides guidelines for treating dragons as Witchbreeds in the Accursed setting, and includes 5 character archetypes intended to be suitable for most fantasy settings.  \nRACIAL ABILITIES  \nEach dragon starts out as a young hatchling, but they will grow and age as they increase in power.  \n• Draconic Might: Dragons start with Strength d8 instead of d4, and they can increase their Strength tod12+2 with normal advances, and to d12+4 with the Expert and Master Edges.  \n• Scourge: Dragons automatically start with one of the four Scourge Edges. Most dragons take Scourge of the Skies, but other types of dragons also exist.  \n• Rending Teeth and Claws: All dragons have sharp teeth and claws which inflict Str+d4 damage. If they attack with multiple natural weapons the same round then they incur the normal multi-action penalty.  \n• Low Light Vision: The eyes of a dragon are well adapted to the caves in which they traditionally make their lairs. Dragons ignore all attack penalties for Dim and Dark lighting.  \n• Newly Hatched: All dragons start with Size –1, reducing their Toughness by 1. They are not allowed to take the Small Hindrance.  \n• Prehensile Forefeet: Dragons are able to use their forefeet to cast spells and manipulate objects, although they also need to use them for walking, and cannot wield weapons or use shields. Dragons who attempt to walk while a forefoot is holding something suffer a –1 penalty to Pace; this penalty increases to –2 if neither of their forefeet are free for walking.  \n• Draconic Breath: Dragons have an innate breath weapon, although it is initially too weak to cause any damage. However their breath can always be used as a trapping for Tricks and Tests of Will.  \n• Temperament: Dragons are famous for their huge egos. Dragons must take one of the following Minor Hindrances: Greedy, Mean, Stubborn, Vainglorious, or Vengeful.  \nDESIGN NOTES  \nTRAPPINGS BRING DRAGONS ALIVE  \nThese rules cover a wide range of different dragons, but you’ll still have to put effort into the appearance and theme of each dragon, much like the trappings for powers. For example an oriental dragon could be built using Scourge of the Seas and Scourge of the Skies, but to really make it come alive you’ll also need to flesh outits description, mannerismsand background.  \nBALANCING DRAGONS  \nThe Edges in this document were balanced using a combination of the race creation rules in SWD, my combat simulator, comparisons with existing Edgesand Hindrances, and (at least in the case of Elemental R","cbCaidrDlbEceUHt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidrDlbEceUHt","pdf",3023755,15,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n# RACIAL ABILITIES\n# DESIGN NOTES","[{\"question\":\"What racial abilities does the supplement define for dragons at character creation?\",\"answer\":\"It defines abilities such as Draconic Might, Scourge, Rending Teeth and Claws, Low Light Vision, Newly Hatched adjustments, Prehensile Forefeet, Draconic Breath, and required Temperament hindrances.\"},{\"question\":\"How does dragon growth and aging work in this supplement?\",\"answer\":\"Each dragon starts as a young hatchling, then grows and ages as it increases in power, with dragon-specific hindrance restrictions reflecting that maturity is tied to power rather than time.\"},{\"question\":\"How are dragons balanced and adapted for different race rulesets?\",\"answer\":\"Edges are balanced using race creation rules, comparisons, and power equivalence; the dragon race is balanced as a +2 race with specified ability value weights, and science-fiction companion race usage suggests reducing Draconic Might or adding a Major Hindrance.\"}]","Savage Dragons - Introduction to the Dragon Racial Abilities | PDF",1791287174]
