Limiting the power of a character and making the overall difficulty of the game harder, does not reduce the creativity, indeed it does quite the opposite.
The Game Master has the option to use any and all of the instances proposed in this guide, or just some of them according to their preference.
It is the lack of something that move and motivate characters, not the abundance of it
DESCRIPTION
A wyrmling blue dragon is a young dragon that has just hatched from its egg. It has a sleek, slender body covered with scales that range from light blue to deep indigo. Its head is adorned with a single horn and a pair of frilled ears. Its eyes are bright yellow with slit pupils. Its tail is long and thin, ending in a barbed tip. A wyrmling blue dragon is about the size of a large dog, but it can grow rapidly as it ages.
COMBAT
A wyrmling blue dragon is a fierce and cunning combatant, using its natural abilities and its environment to its advantage. It prefers to ambush its prey from underground, using its burrow speed to surprise and attack. It can also fly swiftly and maneuver in the air, avoiding melee attacks and striking from a distance. Its main weapon is its lightning breath, which it can unleash in a powerful blast that can electrocute multiple foes at once. A wyrmling blue dragon is also immune to lightning damage, making it resistant to spells and effects that use electricity. A wyrmling blue dragon is not afraid to fight, but it will retreat if it faces overwhelming odds or serious injury.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
A wyrmling blue dragon lives in arid and desert regions, where it can find plenty of sand and rocks to burrow and hide. It usually stays close to its nest, where it was born and raised by its mother. A blue dragon’s nest is a large cavern or pit, filled with treasure and bones of previous victims. A wyrmling blue dragon is loyal to its mother and siblings, but it also has a strong sense of independence and curiosity. It will often explore its surroundings, looking for food, treasure, or adventure. A wyrmling blue dragon is also very proud and arrogant, believing itself to be superior to other creatures. It will challenge anyone who insults or threatens it, or who tries to take its possessions.
ECOLOGY
A wyrmling blue dragon is a carnivore, feeding on any animal or humanoid that it can catch and kill. It prefers fresh meat, but it will also scavenge carrion or steal from other predators. A wyrmling blue dragon has a keen sense of smell and hearing, which it uses to locate and track its prey. It also has excellent vision, especially in the dark. A wyrmling blue dragon is not very social, preferring to hunt alone or with its siblings. It will only cooperate with other blue dragons if they share a common goal or enemy. A wyrmling blue dragon is also very territorial, marking its domain with scratches and scents. It will defend its territory from intruders, especially other dragons of different colors.
