5th Edition Advanced Mode
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 green dragon is a young dragon that has not yet reached adulthood. It has a long, slender body covered with dark green scales that blend well with its forest surroundings. A crest of horn-like spikes runs from its eyes to the tip of its tail, giving it a fierce appearance. Its eyes are yellow-green, and its teeth and claws are black. A wyrmling green dragon can breathe air and water, and has a keen sense of smell and hearing.
COMBAT
A wyrmling green dragon is a cunning and treacherous foe, using misdirection and trickery to get the upper hand against its enemies. It prefers to ambush its prey from a hidden location, using its stealth and camouflage abilities to remain unnoticed. It often uses its poison breath to weaken or kill multiple targets at once, then finishes them off with its bite. A wyrmling green dragon is also adept at using magic, especially spells that manipulate plants, animals, or emotions.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
A wyrmling green dragon usually lives in a forested area, such as a jungle, swamp, or woodland. It makes its lair in a cave, ruin, or hollow tree, where it hoards treasure and other items of interest. A wyrmling green dragon is often solitary, but may sometimes form alliances with other creatures that share its goals or values. For example, a wyrmling green dragon may befriend a group of pseudodragons that protect it from intruders, or join a traveling circus that provides it with entertainment and food.
ECOLOGY
A wyrmling green dragon is an omnivorous creature that feeds on plants, animals, and humanoids. It prefers fresh meat, but will also scavenge carrion or steal food from other creatures. A wyrmling green dragon has a high metabolism and needs to eat frequently to sustain its growth. A wyrmling green dragon is also curious and greedy, collecting anything that catches its eye, such as gems, jewels, books, or magic items. A wyrmling green dragon may also seek out knowledge or secrets that can give it an advantage over others.
