Dragons are highly magical creatures and often learn sorcery or Personal Magic.

Here’s an example of magic for a wild dragon:

Personal Magic 85%: Befuddle [2], Beast Call [2], Heal 6, Protection 5, Second Sight [3], Talk to Animals [3], Tongues [2].

Here’s an example of magic for a more civilized dragon:

Special Rules

Breathe Flame: The dragon may breathe flame over an area as a Combat Action. The flame will cover a cone in front of the dragon, which stretches for its POW in metres. At its furthest extent, the cone is equal to the creature’s POW in width.

Any creature caught in the flame suffers 4D6 fire damage, though on a successful Dodge roll a character may dive for cover to halve this damage and AP counts as normal.

The dragon may only breathe flame once per hour. Further attempts to breathe flame within this time period require the creature to make a Resilience test, with a cumulative –20% penalty for every attempt.

Elemental

The only characteristic that an elemental has is SIZ; all of its derived attributes and skills are based on this.

Elemental Scores

Size of Elemental	SIZ	Damage	Hit Points (=SIZ)	Attack (=SIZ x 5)	Area of attack (=SIZ /3)	MR	Dodge	Persistence	Resilience*
Small	3	1D6	3	25%	1m	15m	100	30	100
Medium	9	2D6	9	45%	3m	20m	90	60	100
Large	21	3D6	21	80%	7m	30m	60	80	100
Huge	50	4D6	50	100%	16m	45m	30	100	100

Elementals attack by engulfing their enemies. All opponents within the area of attack are potential targets. Elementals use their Attack percentage, which is equal to their size times five, to hit the target, who then resists using the resistance appropriate to the attack.

*Elementals are immune to disease and poison.

Elemental	Type of attack	Resistance used	Attribute damage
Undines	Drown	Resilience	Hit Points
Shade	Fear	Persistence	Magic Points
Salamander	Burning	Resilience	Hit Points
Gnome	Crush	Resilience	Hit Points
Sylph	Bluster	Resilience	Hit Points

Shades attack using Fear. When they reduce their opponent’s Magic Point’s total to zero, they literally die of shock.

Other Elemental Abilities

See invisible: Elementals have magical senses that allow them to ‘see’ invisible creatures, such as immaterial spirits. They also gain a +50% when detecting hidden characters.

Almost invisible against the same element: All elementals have the equivalent of a 90% Deception when lying next to an environment of the same element as themselves. For example, undines are nearly invisible when lying in a pool of water and gnomes can curl up and blend into a surrounding rocky area.
