That's right. It's why the dragons are so much cooler in SR than they were in
D&D. One of my friends actually bitched about that. He wanted to kill Lofwyr.
Really. And he wanted to figure out how long he'd have to wait until he'd be
able to . . . and my comment of "Never" wasn't well received until the GM picked
up all the dice we were using, said "This is his body, but if you actually
injure him I roll them all again and again and again until there's no use in you
trying. And then there's his 3 million Karma pool."
