So one little quirk of mine is that I am very particular about my character ideas. I have weird ideas, and I try to work them into functioning, as I really want to play those ideas. So, one idea I wanted to try was make this really young dragonborn, a child character. Only, it appeared, dragonborns age much faster. So, I wanted to figure out how old my dragonborn would need to be to fall into the age-range I wanted her to be in terms of maturity. I used the following info:
*Dragonborns are hatched walking and with some inherent knowledge of draconian (for which reason I assumed they hatch with about a maturity of a 2 year old)
*Dragonborns have about 10 years of maturity by the time they are 3, and are considered adults at fifteen. This meant that their aging rate dramatically decreases over time.
I won't get into too many specifics about how I got to it, but this is the equation I reached, and thought I would share:
2+4Log2(X+1)= Y , with X being the number of years the dragonborn has, and Y being their maturity
For instance, at age 3
2+4Log2(3+1)=2+4*2=2+8=10
At age fifteen
2+4Log2(15+1)=2+4Log216=2+4*4=2+16=18
And age 0
2+4Log2(0+1)=2+4*0=2
You can do it by trial and error or just it's just reverse the equation for what maturity you want or using it raw to figure out the maturity, so...
(2^((X-2)/4))-1=Y, X being the maturity you want, and Y being the age in which you get it
For instance, with a maturity of 2 years old
(2^((2-2)/4))-1=(2^0)-1=1-1=0
Or to get an 18 year old maturity-wise
(2^((18-2)/4))-1=(2^(16/4))-1=(2^4-1)=16-1=15
So, once again, the raw equations:
2+4Log2(X+1)=Y
To figure out the maturity
Or
(2^((X-2)/4))-1=Y
To figure out the age for a given maturity
Of course, this is all pretty math-y , so use it or not as you feel like, I just wanted to share it XD
Hello everyone! How's it going?

Enjoy!
Seven years later, but I just wanted to let you know that I am exactly the same kind of nerd, and I appreciate your efforts.
I also appreciate your efforts, but I am a different kind of nerd.
I appreciate the efforts, although I’m not a nerd
Hey, i also appreciate the efforts. I also had a similar idea to make a child dragonborn. So this was helpful.
