[Ndreare]

TACTICS: This character needs tactics. He will hit an opponent with Havoc giving them a Distracted status, he will then take advantage of Distracted to cast Stun. A stunned target can easily be attacked with the drop, allowing physical decimation.

When this character grows he should select Weird Science only once novice for access to powers and a third power pool. Then allow the character to maximize magic with racial edge that allows mastery, and get AB magic to d12, finally start building Psionics up to d12.

When working in support this character can heal and remove Fatigue. Both these are necessary tasks for a support character.

Hindrances

• Eccentric (Iconic - Racial): Royal Frilled dragons hatch from the egg already slightly strange. Take the Arrogant, Curious, Suspicious (Major) or Vengeful (Major) Hindrance for no added benefit; this has no effect on the dragon’s Untested complication.
• Cybernetics (Iconic): Dragons cannot take cybernetics at any point. Their bodies reject such foreign implants.
• Enemies (Iconic): Dragons are reviled by the Coalition, and hunted with extreme prejudice by CS forces when possible. In addition, many arcane factions seek to control dragons or use their body for the creation of powerful items.
• Form Limits (Iconic): If a dragon transforms into a humanoid race with a restriction based on its body type (such as NonStandard Build, see page 57), it suffers the same penalties as that race. The GM makes the final call on what counts as a body type restriction. In their natural form, dragons cannot wear any armor and can only use vehicular weapons specially adapted for their use at four times the normal cost. Most other gear can only be used in humanoid form (again, GM’s call).
• Hatched (Iconic): Dragons are born not made. They do not choose a race.
• Outsider (Major) (Iconic): Dragon Hatchlings understand so little of the world, they inevitably cause socially awkward situations wherever they go, even in humanoid form. All Dragon Hatchlings have the Outsider (Major) Hindrance.
• Territorial (Iconic): Dragons tend to dislike their own, at least initially. Dragons are hierarchical and generally treat newcomers as invading their territory unless great care is taken in interactions.
• Untested (Iconic): Being so young and without any life experiences, Dragon Hatchlings have not had time to develop moral codes, physical limitations, or foibles. When creating a Dragon Hatchling character, the player selects no Hindrances to start (and, thus, doesn’t get the extra points to spend on character creation). Instead, he selects one Hindrance at the end of each session until he has four points worth of Hindrances. Only when all Hindrances are selected may the player spend the points on his character, working out what is appropriate with the Game Master. This represents imprinting and a “growth spurt” for the Dragon Hatchling.
• Very Young (Iconic): Dragon Hatchlings start out very young. They begin play speaking and reading only one language, Dragonese/Elven, and start with only 3 points to adjust their attributes and only 10 skill points. Unlike the Young Hindrance (which they cannot take), this complication does not grant extra Bennies each session.

Edges

• Armored Hide*(Iconic): The Hatchling has +18 MDC Armor and +6 Toughness in dragon form (plus the Size bonus).
• Bite/Claws* (Iconic): Dragons can naturally attack with massive teeth and talons dealing Str+3d4 Mega Damage, AP equal to Size, see Natural Weapons in Savage Worlds. In addition, their bite has Reach equal to the additional Wounds granted by Size (one at Size Large).
  Keen Claws*: The hooked claws of these dragons are especially large and sharp; gaining +4 additional AP. All other aspects of the Bite/Claws ability as well as other Edges or abilities which modify Claw attacks are unchanged.
• Expanded Awareness (Iconic): Dragons have the detect arcana power as an Innate Ability (see page 70) with the reduced Power Points cost from both the Range (Self) and Aspect limitations (see Trappings in Savage Worlds). They may also sense supernatural beings within line of sight with a Notice check.
• Extended Metamorphosis (Iconic - Racial): Royal Frilled dragons start life able to adopt a single human/humanoid form, which they can maintain for a number of hours equal to 3×Spirit before needing at least six hours of rest. All other aspects of the Limited Metamorphosis ability are unchanged.
• Fear* (Iconic - Racial): Hatchlings are terrifying and cause Fear checks to all who see their dragon form. Additionally, when Royal Frilled dragons extend their frills (a free action), opponents check Fear or resist Intimidation at a −2 penalty (stacks with similar effects)
• Flight* (Iconic): The Hatchling has a Flying Pace of 12" and may "run" for extra movement as usual. Flight is usable in another form if it has wings.
• Infravision (Iconic): Dragons halve penalties for bad lighting when attacking targets that radiate warmth..
• Inherently Magical (Iconic -Racial): Royal Frilled hatchlings are imprinted with the ability to cast spells. Begin with Arcane Background (Magic), 20 PPE, Spellcasting d4, and three powers chosen from the Ley Line Walker’s spell list. Additionally, whenever they take the Power Points Edge, they gain +10 PPE instead of +5
• Major Psionic (Iconic - Racial): Instead of the standard minor psionic abilities common to Dragon Hatchlings, the Royal Frilled begin play with Arcane Background (Psionics), 20 total ISP, the Major Psionic Edge, Psionics d4, speak language, and two other powers—one is chosen from the standard minor psionic power list, and the other is chosen from the Mind Melter’s list (subject to Rank and including any possible Trapping limitations detailed therein, as normal).
• Mighty† (Iconic - Racial): Royal Frilled dragons are incredibly tough and begin with a Strength of d12+3 and Vigor d10.
• Resistant to Fire and Cold† (Iconic - Racial): These dragons take −4 damage from all heat and cold based attacks.
• Toxic Breath*† (Iconic - Racial): A Royal Frilled in its natural form can breathe a purple poisonous cloud using the Cone Template, or arc a Medium Blast Template sized cloud up to 18” (36 yards) distant (see Breath Weapons in Savage Worlds). The toxic vapor is a supernaturally potent neurotoxin. Those caught in the area of effect without an independent air supply (like Environmental Body Armor, filtration systems are ineffective) must check Vigor (–2 with a raise) or be Incapacitated for 1d4 minutes; double that with a Critical Failure..
• Nigh-Immortality (Iconic): Dragons are supernatural creatures thought to be as old as the cosmos itself. Hatchlings mature around 600 years of age and, unless killed, can live up to 12,000 years. They are sustained by passively and effortlessly absorbing ambient magic energy, eating and drinking simply for pleasure. Dragons are immune to the Hazards of cold, heat, hunger, thirst, disease, poison, drowning, electricity, and radiation; see Hazards in Savage Worlds.
• Size 6 (Large)* (Iconic): In their natural forms, Dragon Hatchlings are usually 15–20 feet from snout to tail-tip and weigh up to 7 tons. This means Hatchlings gain a fourth Wound level and, when not using their Metamorphosis abilities, +6 Toughness (in addition to the Armored Hide bonus).
• Slow Regeneration (Iconic): Dragons make a natural healing roll once per day. Permanent injuries may be recovered once all Wounds are regenerated; treat each injury as an additional Wound for purposes of recovery.
• Tail Lash* (Iconic): A Hatchling in dragon form can attack all opponents adjacent to its rear or side as an action. The Hatchling uses its Athletics skill and ignores Scale penalties for this particular attack, which may be Evaded. Those who fail suffer Str+d8 Mega Damage.
• Mr Fix It (Hero’s Journey): +2 to Repair rolls, half the time required with a raise

Hero’s Journey

• Training (20): Functional machines and technology often mean the difference between life and death in the world of Rifts®. Fortunately for any group your hero runs with, she’s pretty good with tech, giving her a one die type increase for the Repair skill, and the Mr. Fix It Edge.

Plan on taking AB weird science. This will give you a very nice potential power list and source. Allowing you to have powers that are likewise harder to dispel and a third power point source.
