Deleated lots of such of how a Dragon could spend a relaxing afternoon.

If you cann't get the nuc, then use one of those chars mentioned earlier
with the 300+ Karma pool, if its a mage, then it Hell Blast should have the
same distructive effect, but no 'civilian casualties'. (grin) Unless you really
want some (snicker).

Far more fun with having mister GDragon appear, and seeing which PC's
fall to their knees, begging for mercy, first.

Well, hey, I was talking about a group with _3_ characters who
totaled to over 300 (400 actually). Of course, Ivy really _was_
talking about 300+ point characters. (sigh) Alas, it wouldn't
work too well. The Hell Blast would need to be at a grotesque
level to affect the silly thing, and I've seen Karma go away fast
when a drain of higher than 10 is the target. Really painful. ;-)

Haven't had that happen, but then Great Dragons aren't our normal
opponents, thank the Goddess.
