Dragon (Wyrm)
Adult dragons are enormous creatures, hardly fit to enter human buildings or explore tunnels. Their young, however, are suited for this. Adult dragons lay eggs every year and eggs may be transported from distant lands to be hatched and raised by other dragons or even other species, making Wyrms surprisingly common in Alithas, though their survival is far from guaranteed.
ability score increase:
Your Strength score increases by 2 and you may increase the score of any other Ability Score by 1.
age:
After hatching, dragons usually spend about 8 years in their Wyrm phase, making their age range 0-8.
Size:
Medium
speed:
Your base walking speed is 30 feet. You can fly 30 feet in that time but must reach a resting spot between turns.
Languages:
If you are from Alithas, your first language can either be Alithan or Drakkan and you may choose any additional language. If you are an outsider, you may choose or make up another language as your first language instead and discuss this with the Dungeon Master.
race features:
Dragon Specifications At any point in the Wyrm phase, a dragon may choose their color and a damage type besides piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning that they have a connection to. All dragons are born a pale gray and choices in their early life impact the type of dragon they become. Neither of these aspects are dependent on each other or on their genetics. You must complete this choice before being able to use any other racial features with the word Dragon in the title. Bite Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Dragon Bite If you make a successful bite attack, you may attempt to deal the type of damage that you have chosen in your specifications. The creature you are biting must make a Con saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 5d8 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. After you use your Dragon Bite, you can’t use it again until you complete a long rest. Dragon Immunity You are immune to the type of damage that you have chosen in your specifications. Dragon Pheromones You have uncontrollable pheromones that can be picked up by dragons in different ranges. Any two Wyrms within 6 miles (1 hex in world map) can smell each other. Any Ancient dragon within 12 miles (2 hexes in world map) can smell and be smelled by you. Any Adult dragon within 18 miles (3 hexes in world map) can smell and be smelled by you. Any Young dragon within 24 miles (4 hexes in world map) can smell and be smelled by you. You have no reason to avoid or seek out other Wyrms. How you interact is your own choice. You know by instinct that all larger dragons can defeat you in combat but if you don't engage them, they might leave you alone.
