Notes
An intelligent European-style dragon that can do the 'paralyzed with fear'/hypnotic gaze and disguise itself as a human, as well as some spellcasting ability. This individual is absolutely ancient, with great magical knowledge, but little knowledge of the modern mortal world (thus the "Gunpowder is so Newfangled" Aspect).
Variations: Even older dragons might have full Evocation and Refinement; Mythic Strength; and/or Supernatural Recovery. An actual Great Dragon, such as Ferrovax or Siriothrax, is far more powerful than that; even the least of them probably exceed the power level for which full statistics can reasonably be provided.
Sanctaphrax:
Mostly I like these. This is an interesting set of possibilities for dragons.
Maybe dragon should be a template...that'd account for the variety.
Anyway, just a few quibbles:
-The Catches seem undervalued. Anyone can hit an underbelly, and it's a well-known myth.
-The Natural Weaponry custom power would come in handy here. This is exactly what it was made for. Having both Claws and Breath Weapon is weird. (Which reminds me, maybe I should give it a Venomous upgrade.)
-I think the Ancient Wyrm should have a Resources skill. Seriously, who ever heard of a poor dragon? Mythic Strength would also be fitting.
-Thanks to Hulking Size, the Aquatic Dragon's Stealth stuff doesn't really work. And why is that stunt listed under Might?
Thugorp:
Hay, I was wondering. Could anyone perhaps make a gnome?
Sanctaphrax:
Sure. What should a gnome be able to do?
Mr. Death:
I'd be tempted to make a Discworld-esque gnome. Maybe even a Feegle.
Diminuitive size, Berserker stunt, Supernatural Strength.
