Thanks Alex, but this is more of a case of thinking out loud.

EWF survivors (some fairly nice, some nasty and one rather like Sheng Seleris) are becoming pretty central in my game. I want to be able to make use of the True Dragons in my game, and I'm thinkin of what vision of them to present.

I think I'll go with my King of Sartar inspired vision presented earlier. I think beign able to fight a dragon is a mental trick, a change of perspective rather than having abilities in the w6 range.

(I use 10w4 superheroic as the ultimate maximum of a "mortal" being in the mundane world anyway, meaning that even a superhero will not get any more powerful.)

In KoS the hero responsible for EWF experiences strange things. A dragons shrinks to his size, or he grows to the size of the dragon. I like this to be a case of draconic enlightenment (as in Zen-buddhism), rather than the hero having masteries equal to the dragon.

Thank you for advice and comment anybody,
