[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7103583, member: 4937"] Just out of curiosity, did you understand that I was asking how many age categories you'd prefer dragons to have, and not how much they have in a particular version of the rules? Although I'm familiar with the every edition and every dragon article pertaining to this issue, I'm not really interested in what the rules are per se. So quoting them to me does me know good. If you think that 12 age categories are better than 8, which it seems you must, could you explain to me why? While we are on the subject, I find 'wyrm' and 'great wyrm' to be rather awkward. When they were first introduced, they were introduced as extension above 'ancient', and it's not obvious what word English would clearly describe some living thing is older than ancient. But, with the extension out to 12 categories, they became unnecessary if you wanted to reduce the number of categories. Does anyone really love the terms? [/QUOTE]
