I could not find this with search so do you feel that Drakes can learn and use Dragonspeach?
IF so, in what forms and can they learn the innate detection spells too? |

I don't see why they couldn't learn it.
As for detection spells, I didn't know those had a vocal component. (Either way: pick up sign language if you're going to play an eastern drake--or Mind Net--that way you can communicate with your team) |

By RAW, drakes can learn Dragonspeech. Runner's Companion, page 76, "Dragons or other drakes that possess the Dragonspeech power (p. 303, SR4A) may teach drake initiates the ability as a metamagic technique."

Drakes can learn Dragonspeech and there is a optional rule which allows them to learn detectional spells but only with category "psychic" i think.
I remember a drake had spells like for example: Passenger, Combatsense and a spell he could detect enemy foes with. And as we talk about drakes i remember there was another nice optional rule i liked, wich allows drakes to learn a new elemental attack like ice, wind or lightning. I think it was 15 Karma but dont ask me where to find it. |

I think it was 15 Karma but dont ask me where to find it. You are thinking of the optional rule on pg 76 in the Runners Companion. QUOTE (pg 76 Runner's Companion) The default elemental effect for a drake’s Elemental Attack power is Fire. However, drake characters may switch their Elemental Attack to a different elemental effect, including those listed on pp. 164–165 of Street Magic by paying 15 Karma. This new elemental effect is permanent until the character decides to pay another 15 Karma and change it again. So yes, they can change it, but they can only possess one effect at a time. So your chromatic and not metallic. (yes, that is D&D trivia) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
