(Scratches head) i thought that we where only allowed 4pts of weaknesses? and Draconic Special abilities?? what powers does that include on the list? It's like you put in shape shifting, Resistance to telepathy, magic and part telepathy powers (induced fear) all for only 3pts?

Only 4 pts in Weaknesses are allowed, unless Alyrium got word from somebody that he can have 6.

And I have no problem with the Draconic stuff but to make it a 4 pointer, polymorph is a rather big thing, even with the 3 per day thing it's a bit much. Immunity is definately a kind of magical resistance, only better. And the fear thing is actually kinda high up as well. I'd say making it a 4 point would be good.


EDIT: And you just HAD to make him really hate evil... Damn you! :D

Shape shifting is limited to a single form so it would, naturally cost less points. He can change a few features, but all in all will generrally look the same.

The induced fear is not due to telepathy.. it is due to "Holy shit, a dragon is in front of me, and it is pissed off" (self explanatory)

No magic resistence(I tried, but I simply could notmake him totally match the D&D dragon I modeled him from) His resistences are spcific, and as such didnt think they need be at full point cost. fire for example, is somewhat intrinsic. What point is thee to breathing fire, if it hurts you just as bad? I wuld argue that any energy manipulator would not be harmed by their energy type.

Shape shift I don't have much of a problem with, the fear thing as you have written it here means that it effects everybody, not just those you select, and it's not cowing to everyone, though it will scare everybody pretty shitless.

And I have no problem with you being immune to your own fire, but to other fire that isn't yours IS a power.

How do you figure? Fire is fire...

The fear is pretty much indirected... I mean, come one.. when he is in his true form and angry... all will cower before him. Unless their power is comparable. Villagers run in terror while the Knight errant somehow manages to keep from shitting a brick long enough to be dismembered.

You've got invulnurability of 4, I think that's enough to cancel out most anything you'll have to deal with.

In your first post I thought it said that you can choose who to effect with your fear.

Oh yeah... think of it this way...

Anemies, or people that dont know him... run like hell, allies are damn happy he isnt trying to kill them. That sort of thing... I will edit the post to make more sense

Makes sense.

My guy won't be affected as well as others, he'll still be alittle freaked out but his general attitude towards enemies has been shown before. "A 15 foot butt-ugly skeleton zombie? SWEET!" "Vampires? Pffft." "A giant thingie from another dimension... LET'S SHOOT IT!" You get my drift.

Psych Profile: Halastyrix, as a Gold Dragon epitomizes altruism and goodness. Esentially, his Superego has beaten up his ID and locked it in a cage, only letting it out for a few minutes each day.

He views humans(or Manthings as he calls them) with a sort of aristocratic compassion. he KNOWS he is better than all of you, and sees it as his duty to help those that are so inferior to his greatness.

:? Not sure what you meant by that. Currently he probably would be in his smallest form. Full size at four stories would probably be (going by my work building) around 60ft
