Universal Effects

• All Dragon Kings except for Raptok suffer a +1 Difficulty penalty when using tools or weapons not specifically made for them.
• All Dragon Kings do Lethal damage with their XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/Brawling moves, and pay 1 point per point of damage instead of 2.
• All Dragon Kings soak Lethal damage with their full Brawn.

Character Creation

See XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/CharacterCreation for bonus point costs.

Step One: Choose Nature and Breed.

Step Two: Prioritize the three categories: Physical, Social, Mental (5/4/3 for modern, 6/4/3 for ancient). See XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/Attributes

• Choose Physical Traits: Brawn, Dexterity
• Choose Social Traits: Charisma, Presence.
• Choose Mental Traits: Intelligence, Perception.

• All Dragon Kings add +1 to both Brawn and Dexterity.

Step Three: Choose XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/Abilities (4/3/2/1).

• Ancient Dragon Kings choose 5 Abilities and add +1 dot to each, as per Trained rules (thus, this will not raise an Ability above four).

Step Four: Note altered XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/Backgrounds when purchasing.

• Assign 5 dots to Virtues, all begin at 1 dot, none may be higher than 3 without bonus points.
• Choose Paths - 6 for a modern Dragon King, 10 for an ancient.

Step Five:

• Record permanent Essence (2 for a modern Dragon King or 3 for an ancient)
• Willpower is equal to the sum of two highest Virtues.
• Essence Pool is Essence x4 + Willpower x3
• Health levels are (Essence + Brawn + Might) x 3 (unless Small or Large), with alteration from Ox Body.
• Apply XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/Merits and XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/Flaws as desired

Dragon Kings begin with 25 bonus points, Ancient Dragon Kings add whatever they gain from the Experienced Background
