That selection looks fine to me. It'd be easier to decide what skill it doesn't have!

Does a draeden really need Climb or Jump? I guess I can't think of anything definitively better, though. Forgery and Disguise don't seem right.

It doesn't need them, but it could make for some freaky visuals if it uses 'em.

We could always throw in another Knowledge or two if you'd prefer.

It doesn't matter so much; the other Knowledge skills are not so thematically appropriate either.

It makes no difference to me.

Updated. WHEW! Those were some massive synergy bonuses!

I didn't give it a speed bonus to Jump, since it only has a ludicrous fly speed, but I suppose if you want to it would be +708!!!!!

I'd prefer to leave it off, or just tack on a token (much slower) land speed.

Regarding skills, I was also going to ask were a draeden could hide. I then came up with the answer myself - behind planets!

I think you'd better give it the ludicrous version of Jump.

Firstly, there's nothing in the Jump rules that says the speed giving the Jump modifier has to be land speed.

Secondly, in the event it's in an area where flight is impossible for some reason, it can move around by Jumping!

Thirdly, I just think it's funny giving it +708 bonus. By my reckoning that gives it Jump +857.

That's just too funny! We need to put that in.

And I think hiding behind planets belongs in the tactics section!

Agreed.

Well it's a tactic, I suppose...
