Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

Still, very nice. I especially like the Chiang Lung.

Thank you. If you haven't seen yet, I went and made a thread with some of my art is MPSIMS, since I was fiddling with old sketchbooks anyway.

In DnD Red and Gold are fire, Blue and Bronze are lightning ... etc.

So why not make a list of aspects that they can pull from and let their chosen dragon be their totem and that totem give them access to scaling elemental aspects or... what ever.

So each major element gets an aura, breath weapon, resistances, specially colored shit nuggets... what ever.
That would just be an elementalist warrior with an area control theme. I think the word for that class concept is "Warden." If you want to have a Dragon theme, you want a Dragon theme, not a raw elements theme. When you pick the Black Dragon as your patron you aren't signing up to be a "Water Warrior" or an "Acid Warrior," you're there for the Black Fucking Dragon. You want to breathe and corrupt water. You want to speak with animals, grow plants, and spread darkness in the sky and under the sea.

That's what I was trying to get at. But you would tie those powers to one of two "elements" or... what ever a dragon consists of.
There's a lot of power overlap between the dragons. So use that to one's advantage. Instead of splitting hairs.


edit: Josh took a pretty good stab at what I was trying to get at, with aspects being similar to spheres.
