Overview of Core Framework
CORE FRAMEWORK:
- Spheres: Record your Sphere ratings
- Attributes: Determine your Attributes.
Sphere Ratings
There are three Sphere ratings which reflect a Dragon's power.
Soma is the sphere of the physical, reflecting the power of the dragon's flesh, muscle and bone. Draconic breeds with stronger Soma tend to be physically adept generally, with greater strength, toughness and agility.
Sophia is the sphere of the mental, reflecting the power of the dragon's mind. Draconic breeds with stronger Sophia tend to be mentally adept generally, with greater willpower, knowledge and awareness.
Pneuma is the sphere of breath, reflecting the power of the dragon's soul. Draconic belief has it that breath is the source of magic, of beauty and of inner creativity. Draconic breeds with stronger Pneuma tend to be more magically adept, more passionate, more creative and more emotionally intelligent.
Your Sphere ratings are determined by your Draconic breed, and are normally fixed. A Draconic Breed normally has one Sphere of 5, one Sphere of 6 and one Sphere of 7.
Aspect Ratings
There are nine Aspect ratings which represent a Dragon's ability to access and utilise his spheres effectively. Each Sphere has three Aspects tied to it.
Aspects start with an equivalent rating to their parent sphere. For example, if you have Pneuma 5 then your Pyr, Polymechania and Pathos are by default 5.
You can add +1 to an Aspect by deducting -1 from another Aspect. However at character generation no Aspect may be more than one point higher or lower than its default value.
Soma Aspects
Sarx - Flesh. Determines strength and toughness. The basic brute-force stat. Tachos - Movement. Helps with tasks of agility, aerobatics and speed. Akribeia - Precision and co-ordination.
Sophia Aspects
Episteme - Knowledge. Helps determine how well educated and well informed the character is. Enkrateia - Self mastery. Helps with confidence, inner belief, willpower and determination. Synesis - Perception and awareness.
Pneuma Aspects
Pyr - The fire within a dragon. Determines overall magical power, and helps with aggression. Polymechania - Inventiveness. Allows verstaility of magic, and helps with artistic inspiration and technical invention. Pathos - Evoking emotion in others. Helps with manipulation, presence, seduction, charisma, etc.
