Quote:Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Transforming probably takes 3-5 seconds to pack or unpack all that mass wherever it goes, and without time to pull up as you say, a dragon MIGHT live where a human would splash, but would be too badly injured to get out of there, and whle there might be those at the highest levels of human government who are in on the whole dragon-cohabitation thing, you can bet your average beat cop or SDF soldier - or even midrank, local commander - doesn't know them from Gojira.
Not neccessarily - this cliff is one, two hundred feet high, right? That's, what, two or three seconds of free fall?
How long does it take to shift forms? ^_^ ...and, for that matter, how long would it take to pull up out of that kind of dive?
Ypur edition of half-dragon - okay, I'll buy that, with the caveat that their physical forms have a closer relation in size than the average true dragon and human-suit. Meaning that if you have a dragon and a half dragon fighting, in human form the half-dragon will dominate, being built like a buma, but in dragon form it's reversed, with a half dragon from the same clan being about 2/3 the size of an otherwise equal full dragon. I still hold to their having a higher innate magic potential, however, making a half-Antler a truly frightening proposition for the traitorous villain. I'll have to look for a chinese to english translator to see about a name for him - (antler)long (shining? whirlpool? undertow?)
