I understand you're trying to go for the "Uneducated Troll", but with an Log of 2, he's just dim, not mentally handicapped.

I understand you're trying to go for the "Uneducated Troll", but with an Log of 2, he's just dim, not mentally handicapped. I wasn't trying to make him truly dumb. He is not used to taking that much. The lack of technology exposure hurts allot. The lack of education in all areas is supposed to make him look dumb, but he is just slow. If he was ever played I would play him trying to learn stuff (buy off the uneducated and computer illiterate qualitys). One other thing would be to buy sensei quality, maybe do that 1st, then his sensei could tell him he needs to learn computers and such. |

Just reread the drake creation rules, bridge is illegal, can't buy additional drake powers at char creation.
One question I have is how big are Drakes? |

From the section on "The Practicalities Of Being A Drake" in Howling Shadows, probably not that much larger than whatever their metahuman body is (not counting tail, and maybe wings). Certainly nothing like how

Me looks wrong me has wings. I understand you're trying to go for the "Uneducated Troll", but with an Log of 2, he's just dim, not mentally handicapped. Although the whole "Me tarzan me not know the difference between nominative and accusative" is a typical way of demonstrating someone is functionally illiterate, it also is an error made by many popular music artists who haven't bothered to get their lyrics proof-read by native speakers:QUOTE (Bryan Adams) She says her love for me could never die Certainly to some of us this suggests the lyricist is mentally handicapped, although in this specific case the wrong word is likely chosen in order to force a rhyme.But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I. Very likely by the 2070s nominative and accusative will be unified and everybody will only be using either "I" or "me" ubiquitously and indistinguishably. Another couple of hundred years later, the missing word will make a come-back by popular demand. Just recall how "thee" is informal singular and "you" is formal plural; "thee" was abandoned; now "yous" has been coined to be the plural of "you"! It's as bad as dreamses and troopseses. |
