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
The Gorgosaurus, a name that evokes fear and awe, is a towering figure in the world of D&D. This prehistoric predator’s legacy is etched into the annals of time, a testament to the might and terror of the Late Cretaceous period. With its massive jaws and formidable presence, the Gorgosaurus is a creature that commands respect and caution from all who cross its path.
COMBAT
In combat, the Gorgosaurus is a force to be reckoned with. Its powerful bite can crush armor and bone alike, and its sheer size makes it a daunting opponent for even the bravest of adventurers. The Gorgosaurus relies on its primal instincts, striking with precision and ferocity to subdue its prey. Those who face this beast must be prepared for a battle of epic proportions.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
The Gorgosaurus is often found in environments reminiscent of its ancient origins. It roams the vast and untamed wilderness, from dense forests to wide-open plains. As a solitary hunter, the Gorgosaurus does not form packs, preferring the life of a lone predator. However, when it comes to defending its territory or pursuing a particularly elusive prey, the Gorgosaurus displays a surprising level of cunning and strategy.
ECOLOGY
Within the ecosystem of D&D, the Gorgosaurus plays the role of apex predator. Its diet consists of large creatures, and its hunting methods help maintain the natural balance. The presence of a Gorgosaurus in an area is a clear sign of a rich and thriving environment, as only the most bountiful lands can support such a magnificent and demanding creature.
