Aspect Markings

These are some short lists of Dragonblooded Aspect marks; they aren't sorted by Breeding or Essence intensity, but some common sense should apply -- really extreme manifestations are probably best saved for high-Essence or -Breeding individuals.

Half-Caste will have subdued markings if any at all, mostly pale tints of color or possibly some faint patterning of flesh.

Well-blooded but mortals Dynasts may well also bear some weakest of elemental marks due to the abundance of Dragonblooded in their bloodline, as noted for the offspring of < Essence-4 individuals in E:tAb.

  • thin sheen of ice / frost on flesh, hair

it is really neat, so I linked it from DragonBlooded - not sure if it should go anywhere else, but cool!
