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 white dragon wyrmling is a young dragon of the white variety, which is the smallest and weakest of the evil dragons. White dragons are slow-witted but efficient hunters, who rely on their keen senses and cold breath to subdue their prey. They are impulsive, vicious, and animalistic, tending to consider only the needs and emotions of the moment and having no foresight or regret. Despite their low intelligence, they are as greedy and evil as the other evil dragons.
A white dragon wyrmling has a sleek, smooth body covered with scales that range from pure white to light blue. Its eyes are pale blue or icy white, and its claws and teeth are razor-sharp. Its wings are large and powerful, allowing it to fly swiftly and maneuver in tight spaces. Its tail is long and flexible, often used as a weapon or a tool. A white dragon wyrmling can exhale an icy blast of hail in a cone, freezing and damaging anything in its path.
COMBAT
A white dragon wyrmling is a fierce and cunning combatant, who prefers to ambush its enemies from a hidden location or a high vantage point. It uses its stealth and perception skills to stalk its prey, waiting for the right moment to strike with its bite or its cold breath. It can burrow through snow and ice, creating tunnels and traps for its foes. It can also swim and fly, giving it an advantage in different terrains.
A white dragon wyrmling is not afraid to fight against larger or stronger opponents, as long as it has a chance to escape or gain an edge. It will use its surroundings to its benefit, such as collapsing ice walls, triggering avalanches, or creating blizzards. It will also try to isolate or separate its enemies, picking them off one by one. A white dragon wyrmling is loyal to its parent or siblings, and will fight alongside them if they are nearby.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
A white dragon wyrmling lives in cold and snowy regions, such as mountains, glaciers, or arctic plains. It prefers to make its lair in a cave or a crevice, where it can store its hoard of treasure and food. A white dragon wyrmling is very possessive of its belongings, and will defend them fiercely against any intruders. It will also hunt for more valuables and prey, often venturing far from its home.
A white 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 hunt and survive in the harsh environment, but will not show them much affection or care. 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 competing with their siblings or other dragons for resources.
ECOLOGY
A white dragon wyrmling is a carnivorous creature, who feeds on any animal that can survive in the cold climate. It prefers fresh meat over frozen or rotten food, and will often kill more than it can eat. It will store the excess food in its lair, either by freezing it with its breath or burying it under snow or ice. A white dragon wyrmling will also eat gems, metals, and other shiny objects, which it adds to its hoard.
A white 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 same color or larger size. It may also encounter adventurers, explorers, or settlers who seek to claim its land or loot its treasure. A white dragon wyrmling will fight fiercely against any enemy that challenges it or invades its domain.
