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 brass dragon wyrmling is a young dragon of the brass variety, which is one of the most gregarious and friendly of the metallic dragons. Brass dragons are curious and talkative, who enjoy learning new things and meeting new people. They are also fond of warmth and sunlight, and often bask in the desert heat. They are benevolent and helpful, but also mischievous and playful, sometimes playing pranks on their friends or foes.
A brass dragon wyrmling has a slender, sleek body covered with scales that range from dull brown to bright brass. Its eyes are green or hazel, and its horns and frills are coppery or bronze. Its wings are large and pointed, allowing it to fly fast and agile. Its tail is long and thin, often used as a whip or a lure. A brass dragon wyrmling can exhale a blast of fire or a cloud of sleep gas in a cone, burning or incapacitating anything in its path.
COMBAT
A brass dragon wyrmling is a clever and cunning combatant, who prefers to avoid violence or use diplomacy to resolve conflicts. It uses its charisma and persuasion skills to charm or intimidate its enemies, often trying to make them surrender or flee. It can also use its deception and insight skills to trick or outsmart its foes, sometimes pretending to be weaker or friendlier than it is.
A brass dragon wyrmling is not afraid to fight if necessary, but will always try to gain an advantage or escape if possible. It will use its surroundings to its benefit, such as creating sandstorms, hiding in dunes, or flying in the sun. It will also try to cooperate or communicate with its allies, if it has any. A brass dragon wyrmling is loyal to its parent or siblings, and will fight alongside them if they are nearby.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
A brass dragon wyrmling lives in warm and arid regions, such as deserts, savannas, or steppes. It prefers to make its lair in a cave or a burrow, where it can store its hoard of treasure and books. A brass dragon wyrmling is very curious and adventurous, and will often explore its surroundings or seek new knowledge. It will also hunt for more valuables and stories, sometimes venturing far from its home.
A brass dragon wyrmling is usually born in a clutch of two to eight eggs, which are guarded by the mother until they hatch. The mother will teach her offspring how to fly, hunt, and survive in the harsh environment, but will also encourage them to be independent and creative. The wyrmlings will stay with their mother for about five years, until they are old enough to fend for themselves. They will then leave their lair and seek their own territory, sometimes befriending other creatures or dragons along the way.
ECOLOGY
A brass dragon wyrmling is an omnivorous creature, who feeds on both plants and animals that can survive in the dry climate. It prefers fresh food over dried or preserved food, and will often cook its meat with its fire breath. It will store the excess food in its lair, either by burying it under sand or wrapping it in cloth. A brass dragon wyrmling will also collect books, scrolls, maps, and other items that contain information or stories, which it adds to its hoard.
A brass dragon wyrmling has few natural predators, as most creatures avoid its territory or fall prey to its attacks. However, it may face threats from other dragons, especially those of the opposite alignment or larger size. It may also encounter adventurers, explorers, or settlers who seek to claim its land or loot its treasure. A brass dragon wyrmling will try to befriend or negotiate with any potential enemy that shows intelligence or respect.
