Overview of Core Framework

  • Breed Ratings: Record your Pneuma, Soma and Sophis as determined by breed.
  • Variations: Add +5 to one Sphere, and deduct -5 from another Sphere.



The Three Spheres

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 50 is average for Dragons.

Humans, in contrast, tend to have a Soma rating of 5-15, and Pneuma/Sophis ratings of 35-45.

Breed Ratings

Your base rating is determined by your Draconic Breed.
