Unread post by Shades of Eternity »

just curious

I think it's safe to assume everybody here has considered a hatchling dragon.

what do you try to hunt down for equipment.

Nothing really. The cost to make something for a dragon would be more expencive than the starting money. I just concider it the start of his dragon horde.

I've only played one dragon hatchling for any amount of time (the other died within ten minutes of the game starting to a single blow of a soul-drinker).

He wasn't that interested in most equipment. Because he freely changed shapes, he'd lose a lot of non-magical equipment to size and shape changes. He did gather physical valuables and magical equipment, but when he wanted a weapon, he took it from someone else (or simply took someone else... he did use humanoids as bludgeoning weapons or fist weights from time to time).

Most weapons had very little advantage for him... he had natural ice breath, great close in weapons, and quickly picked up some magic spells (he was traveling Atlanteans).

Which they accumulate through the process of acquisition...sometimes by force...sometimes by threat of force...sometimes by stealing...sometimes by asking really nice...

But point is...they don't need squat...and they'll do just fine!

Yea, I like that pic on pg. 99 of the original Main Book too. :) Pretty much set the theme and tone for Dragon characters for me in Rifts from day one.

Bubble guns and laser cannons.

What else?

There's a reason...and a very good one...that I have certain people in this forum blocked both here and on Facebook.

I can see an illustration of that nearly every time I come here.

One of mine was "raised" by a merc company, so he smoked cigars, acted like a hard-bitten sergeant major, used a TW flameblade and a CS SAMAS railgun. He was a Night Stalker dragon of Aberrant allignment.

So, can a dragon wear a Atlantean Armor of Ithan ammulet (like the BWW wear on their waist) on his wrist like a watch? Does it still provide 100 MDC to his whole body? Or only his arm? Does size REALLY matter?

Seriously though, Im currently playing a Chaing Ku Temporal Wizard, and I have less and less actual equipment as time goes on as I aquire more and more magic.
I want to see from Palladium:

Yes he can, and it would apply to his whole body.

Usually my dragons of any type that are trying to hide as human wear crap clothes that can be easily replaced and claim to be some sort of pychic savant or something. Otherwise they don't buy human stuff. What they find that will fit them they wear otherwise nadda.
