You know guys, unless your GM is a case, you probablt aren't going to go
head to head or even be affected by dragon magic. Chances are that if he
is a shaman he probably is not going to need any of those bonuses to kill
you <<<Force 9 Hellblast>>>. I suppose the only reason this discussion
ensues<?> is because you want to know how he is gonig to act and what
spirits he can conjure, well here is my viewpoint : H'ell summon a spirit
so powerful that it does not matter what kind it is and second, he is not
going to act like a dog shaman.

I refuse to be called a 'case' but I have still thrown two dragons
against my players. The survived, the Dragon didn't. On the other hand,
they were just small ones. (Everyone hates 11D with 14 successes.
Regardless of your body/armor... Yes, the sam had Firearms 7.)

Actually, I am not interested in that. I can kill my players easily.
Anytime, anywhere. I am more interested in the 'grand scheme' of things,
so that it will contribute to my campaign, not to individual adventures.

In this regard, it is not important what a Dragon will do. It is more
important what he is CAPABLE of doing; what is his potential...
