[QUOTE="GrahamWills, post: 7178164, member: 75787"] [SIZE=5]Answer: Three [/SIZE] The first size category is [B]baby dragon[/B]. This is a cute or mischievous creature whose job is to appeal to younger kids and provide amusement or an extended relationship as a pet. The stats for this level are optional, but are more focused on rearing, escaping, getting into trouble and being cute. I run for a group of young kids in my church, and this is the most important age category for them. The second category is [B]adult dragon[/B]. This is a generally antagonist monster that the players might run across and are likely to fight more often than not. They are stat'ed out variously with different levels. You can call them "slightly older than mature adult but not yet venerable", or whatever, but it's basically just levels. They are monsters for the players to deal with. The third category is [B]godlike dragons[/B]. These are icons in 13th Age, or gods in D&D; the Bahumets and the Great Gold Wyrms. They are more powerful than all but high epic PCs and are generally not direct antagonists. Their stats revolve around what influence they have and how they can change the world. So, for a simple campaign frame: The Great Gold Wyrm has untrusted you with the upbringing of his youngest egg, to ensure it understands what the world is really like outside of heaven. You must show him the real world for a decade and a day, keeping him safe but not shying away from adversity. You can depend on the clerics and powers of the GGW to aid you, but the forces of Tiamat (a variety of evil adult dragons) are likely to assail you. [/QUOTE]
