Age Of Dragons: Main Page -> Age Of Dragons: Hatchery Overview -> Age Of Dragons: Core Framework

Overview of Core Framework[edit]

  • Breed Ratings: Record your Pneuma, Soma and Sophia as determined by breed.
  • Variations: Add +1 to one Sphere, and deduct -1 from one Sphere.
  • Energy Pools: Record Soul, Physical and Mental energy



The Three Spheres[edit]

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.

Note that a Sphere Rating of 5 is average for Dragons.

Humans, in contrast, tend to have an average Soma rating of 1, Pneuma of 3 and a Sophia of 3. As a result:

  • Almost all dragons are much more powerful physically than even the strongest of humans.
  • A magically or socially inept dragon might be outmanoeuvred by a talented human, but normally dragons will have greater arcane strength and social mastery.
  • A particularly slow witted dragon could therefore be as mentally weak as the smartest of humans, but even this dragon would be considered bright by human standards.



Breed Ratings[edit]

Your base rating is determined by your Draconic Breed.

The twelve main choices for Breed have Sphere ratings as follows: 

   * Pure Dragons:   Soma 4, Sophia 6, Pneuma 5,
   * Argent Dragons:   Soma 6, Sophia 5, Pneuma 4,
   * Solar Dragons:   Soma 5, Sophia 4, Pneuma 6,
   * Hunter Dragons:   Soma 6, Sophia 4, Pneuma 5,
   * Forest Dragons:   Soma 4, Sophia 5, Pneuma 6,
   * Storm Dragons:   Soma 5, Sophia 6, Pneuma 4,
   * Ashen Dragons:   Soma 6, Sophia 5, Pneuma 4,
   * Velvet Dragons:   Soma 5, Sophia 4, Pneuma 6,
   * Chimerical Dragons:   Soma 4, Sophia 6, Pneuma 5, 
   * Ghost Dragons:   Soma 4, Sophia 5, Pneuma 6,
   * Blood Dragons:   Soma 6, Sophia 4, Pneuma 5,
   * Sable Dragons :   Soma 5, Sophia 6, Pneuma 4,



Variations[edit]

Now, select one of your Sphere ratings and add +1 to it.

Then, select one of your Sphere ratings and deduct -1 from it.

Note that these selections can, if you want, be on the same Sphere. Doing this will make your dragon average for his breed.

Energy Pools[edit]

Finally, record your Energy Pools.

Your initial and maximum Physical Energy is equal to your Soma sphere.

Your initial and maximum Mental Energy is equal to your Sophia sphere.

Your initial and maximum Soul Energy is equal to your Pneuma sphere.

Whereas Spheres are fixed stats, your Energy Pools will fluctuate during the game as you engage in conflicts or carry out actions.
