Homebrew Dragon Wyrmling Species Details

Wyrmlings are the youngest age category of true dragons, having only recently hatched from their eggs. These dragons are much more vulnerable than any variety of older dragon, but they still have enough power to pose threats to unprepared adventurers. Most of the time, these dragons act like any other dragon, seeking out a lair to pursue their own goals and building up their power, but sometimes, through various possible events, these dragons take up an adventuring life.

Make sure your DM is aware of the implications of playing a dragon, both mechanical and lore-wise, before you select this race.
