Wow...this is the most traffic I've seen on shadowGM yet...
I like the second viewpoint better...it's better for Gm's... :) This is
something I've been thinking about recently...I was wondering what happened
to elves and dragons during the fifth world. Elves might have gotten some
sort of cosmetic changes during that time, but dragons might be a little harder
to hide. I wonder if maybe when the mana level drops, do they maybe activate
some sort of long-term masking or whatever it is they do? The reason I was
thinking of this is because I had some thoughts of a weird plot line where
a masked dragon was cyrogenically <sp?> frozen for medical reasons, and perhaps
accidentally unfrozen by the PC's, who heal him. He would still look like a
human until he realizes that the mana level has risen again, when he might
still remain as a human for a while. Probably I would use him as an
ultra-contact or perhaps to get the PC's out of a situation they are stuck
in.
Oh, well, enough writing for now...
