Training

The Dragon-Blooded are social creatures, requiring careful nurture in order to achieve their full potential. This can be a mixed blessing as those who would nurture a young Dragon-Blooded could also seek to control them for their own interests.

This background awards a number of ability points and specialties relevant to the Dragon-Blooded's early life and training. The player may determine where these specialties are spent in cooperation with the Storyteller.

x- Your Exaltation left you as a big fish in a small pond and the people around you either sought your guidance or attempted to manipulate your newfound power to their own ends.
1- You received some instruction in the correct use of your power, possibly one of your parents was Terrestrial Exalted or a local spirit saw fit to guide you? +4 additional specialties.
2- You have almost certainly had contact with other Dragon-Blooded since your exaltation, though the lessons were informal at best you have benefited from the experience. (This is the level of Training found in most Outcaste groups). +8 additional specialties.
3- A master has done their best to shape you since exaltation or a dedicated training programme has ensured that you are not lacking what they deem to be valuable life lessons. (This is the basic level of Training possessed by young Dragon-Blooded of the Realm or Lookshy, those that pay attention to their lessons at least!) +2 ability dots, +8 additional specialties.
4- Your education was exceptional even by the standards of the Realm, teaching you many useful skills that you will use in the wider world. Only the most privileged or studious of Dynastic Scions are this honoured. +4 ability dots, +9 additional specialties.
5- Your training began before you even took your first breath, so sure were your parents that you were destined for something far greater. +6 ability dots, +12 additional specialties.
