Default Re: Dragons

IIRC, the Dracolich impersonates a Bog Mummy which IS immortal, so you have the odd situation of the fake form looking less durable than the real form--there's actually a quite plausible reason to take a Bog Mummy as an SC so you wouldn't spot it purely because of that. However, you could tell the difference by checking the paths.

What if dragons had a higher base cost and lower path cost? Say, gcost 110 and pathcost 20. It's cheaper than the existing dragon chassis if and only if you take three or more paths. It would encourage rainbow-ism in these oh-so-magical dragons, but when they transformed into dragon form they'd have to rely mainly on their primary path. The one potential downside I see is that it tips the balance in favor of one major/multiple minor blesses as opposed to the current dual-bless usage for dragons.
