Overview of Tiered Attributes

TIERED ATTRIBUTES:

• First Tier Attributes: Record Spheres (as determined per Draconic Breed)
• Second Tier Attributes: Record Energy Levels (equal to Sphere ratings) and Resilience Levels (equal to Sphere Rating x 2).

First Tier Attributes: Record Spheres

There are three Spheres used in Age of Dragons:

Soma is "body" - the clay from which a dragon's physical body is formed. Those with strong soma are brutally powerful, resilient and physically adept. They tend to be more agile when on the wing, and can achieve greater feats of strength and endurance. A Dragon's Soma attribute sets the dice pool for any tasks relating to pure physical prowess.

Sophis is "mind" - the intellect and will that governs and guides the Dragon. A strong sophis indicates keen intelligence, good memory, strong logic and great force of will. Dragons with well-developed sophis are not easily dissuaded from their chosen course, and are more adept at intellectual pursuits of all sorts. A Dragon's Sophis attribute sets the dice pool for any tasks relating to mental strength or mental agility.

Pneuma is "breath" - the mystical force which the Mother Goddess animated the first Dragons, and the living energy that accounts for all movement and change in the world, be it the burning of a candle, the flow of a river, or the flight of a dragon. A Dragon's Pneuma attribute sets the dice pool for any tasks which relate to social charm, using magic, artistic creativity, environmental awareness or acting with grace and fluidity. Essentially any task that doesn't easily fit under the auspices of Soma or Sophis can be handled using Pneuma.

The levels of your Spheres depend on your choice of Draconic Breed. The sphere ratings for each breed are listed in the Breed Descriptions.

On average, an adult young Dragon will have Sphere ratings between 3 and 5.

Note that an average human has only has Soma 1, Sophis 1 and Pneuma 1, and even an exceptional human wizard will only have Soma 1, Sophis 1 and Pneuma 2.

Dragons are powerful in body and presence, exceptionally clever, potent in magic, and generally superior to mere mortals. Even the slowest witted dragon still is mentally superior to the smartest of humans, and even the feeblest dragon can overpower a muscular mortal man.
