Was reading Running Wild and the dragon section does not have stats which prompted me to look in the main rule book. Now I have no plans to ever use a dragon as anything but a plot device but, under powers they are listed as having a natural weapon (dmg 10P, Reach +2). Now a typical human can punch some one for Str/2S, a non great, western dragon with a strength of 40 should be doing something like 20S before figuring in the power of natural weapon. I figure at the minimum, the damage should be turned to physical and possibly added to as dragons have claws and all those sharp teeth. Was just wondering if this is a mistake or the product of something I am not aware of.
