Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 7980841" data-attributes="member: 177">Do remember that a young dragon is a whopping Challenge Rating of 7.  They are nominally a medium challenge for a group of four characters of 5th level.  How does it get an artifact?Does it undertake the same sort of quest the PCs would?  Would the PCs be able to complete that quest... at 5th level or so?  Probably not.  Anyone with an artifact is going to be much tougher than the dragon, and isn't going to be terribly into creating a nominally ill-tempered creature more powerful than itself.  Thus, if the dragon ages itself this way, that implies something even bigger than the dragon that's interested in helping the dragon... for its own ends.</blockquote>
