Approved Submission [Havok] The Drake: Robotic Pet Dragon!

Blizzard

Inactive Member
WIP Article

IDK who to even tag for this, so @Wes @Ametheliana

Basically a FARS that isn't as "robotic", despite being a robot.

Furthermore, would this be considered a species or just another product?

Anyways, SARP will now hopefully have lil' dog-sized dragons. It may have some issues, but I blame that on it being 2am where I live.
 
This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
Wes: No dragons

In any case, I don’t think the civilian model should have sharp claws and fire breath, instead making the scary weapon version be a “bodyguard” edition. You could actually toss on DR for both of those; Tier 1 claws and Tier 2 breath weapon, on a Tier 2 body.
 
The article doesn't meet the style guidelines (having text after the headers).
 
Aha. You need a little prose after the headers in Pricing. Yes, each one. Just write something about availability.
 
You could probably move the DR under the Internals section. The FARS is the best template to use here, but the FARS doesn't have a weapon so we'll have to bootleg another template. Most of them have weapons towards the top, so it's best to move it near there.
 
Put text after main headers and before other headers, images, charts, bullet points, etc.

Where I wrote HERE is where you would put text/prose

  • Hmm...does Havok not have its own nomenclature?
 
@META_mahn made the edits. Havok doesn't do mass production so nomenclature isn't a thing for them. So far they have three products including this.
