''Ashen Dragons'' are the strongest physically of the chaos dragons, though typically they claim also to be the most magically adept and the most intelligent as well. An Ashen Dragon does not like to admit his weaknesses!

===Birthrights===

'''Adaptability''' - ''Ashen Dragons'' master the basics of Lifepaths with great speed, and are adept at applying lessons already learnt to new directions. For every third Lifepath that the ''Ashen Dragon'' adopts and spends at least 50 years on, add +1 to the ''Arete'' of all his Lifepaths. 

'''Mutable Form''' - Any magics or effects that magically alter a dragon's form (whether beneficial or not) work twice as fast on Ashen Dragons as they do on other breeds.

===Flaws===

'''Corruption of the Mutable''' - The ''Ashen'' breed's willingness to try anything has led to sorcerous experiments on the mystical and somatic fabric of hatchlings and eggs through the generations. One in three ''Ashen Dragons'' will be born as a hideously warped and essentially mindless chaos-spawn, and one in three ''Ashen Dragons'' will devolve into insanity as the grow old, losing mental acuity as they age. 

''In game terms, player character '''Ashen Dragons''' are presumed not to be mindless spawn, though any offspring they have will have a 1 in 3 chance of suffering this fate. As to senile insanity, make a random check for the player when he hits 800 years of age. If you determine that he is going to go insane, he will start to do so after 3D6 years, and will lose 1 Sophia at that time, then a further 1 Sophia every D6 years afterwards.''

'''Fated''' - If you are using the default metaplot, the ''Ashen Breed'' as a whole has a major world-changing event ahead of it that will happen inevitably on a certain date, and beyond player control. Players who select this Breed should be aware that the metaplot has this surprise in store and that they won't be able to do anything about it.
