Converting True Dragons

[freyar]

Don't ask me about that! Probably relatively small compared to most dragons. +1 or +2 at each age category and - after juvenile?

The faerie dragon has a +2 LA, so I could maybe see going with +1 through young adult, +2 through very old, and +3 thereafter?

Works for me.

Updated. Finished?

 

[freyar]

I think so, actually!

How about adding stuff some the other dragons published by WotC and Dungeon/Dragon magasine like the other chromatics, metallics, psionics, lungs, planars and others like the Fang, Sand, Deep, Shadow and Incarnum ?

I'm not sure they really need it, as the original text doesn't really indicate that they are meant to mimic the other dragons.

Feel free to expand it if you'd like, though.

I see... so according to the faerie drake's "rules", it gets:
- The true dragon's immunit(ies)
- The primary breath weapon of a single-breath true dragon OR the secondary breath weapon of a dual-breath true dragon
- The true dragon's 3rd spell-like ability obtained through aging

Well, it doesn't look that complicated now that you mention it.

Just one thing left. Here's the ageing table for familiar drakes if they age as fast as rattelyrs (five times as fast as true dragons)

Category      Age (Years)
wyrmling        0 -   1
very young      2 -   3
young           4 -   5
juvenile        6 -  10
young adult    11 -  20
adult          21 -  40
mature adult   41 -  80
old            81 - 120
very old      121 - 160
ancient       151 - 200
wyrm          201 - 240
great wyrm    241+

Great, thanks! Updated with the age categories.
