Dragon life cycle
=====================
"form the tiny egg the great wyrm grows."
---Kobold proverb
Barring some misfortune, a dragon can expect to live good
health for 1,200 years,possibly even a great deal longer,
depending on its general fitness. all dragons, however, start
out as humble eggs and progress through twelve distinct life
stage, each marked by new developments in the dragon`s body,
mind, or behavior.
龙的生命周期
==================
"巨龙始于微小的蛋的成长."
-- Kobold proverb
根据他们的适应性,一条龙可以健康的活1200年,或者更久.
除了一些不幸.
无论如何, 所有的龙,
从一个卑微的蛋开始进化到最后要通过12个清晰的阶段.
每个新的进化阶段都体现在龙的 身体 头脑 或者行为上.
EGGS
Dragon eggs vary in size depending on the kind
of dragon. They are generally the same color
as the dragon that laid them and the have the
same energy immunities as the dragon that laid the
(for example, black dragon eggs are black or dark gray
and impervious to acid).
A dragon eggs has an elongated ovoid shape and a
hard, stony shell.
A female dragon can produce eggs beginning at her
young adult stage and remains fertile though
the very old stage.
Males are capable of fertilizing eggs beginning at the
young adult stage and remain fertile through the wyrm stage.
The eggs are fertilized inside the female`s body and are
ready for laying about a quarter of the way through the
incubation period, as shown on the table below.
The numbers given on the table are approximate;
actual periods can vary by as much as 10 days either way.
RULES: DRAGON EGGS
Although it contains a living embryo, treat a dragon egg as
an inanimate object with the following statistics.
蛋
龙蛋大小变化决定于龙的种类。
他们一般和生下他们的龙同样颜色
并且和这种龙免疫同样的元素伤害。
(例如, 黑龙蛋是黑或深灰色的
并且不受酸伤害) 。
龙蛋有一个瘦长的卵状外形
和一个坚硬的石壳。
一条雌龙可以从她的青年期开始产蛋
即使在她的极老年期也能保持繁殖能力。
雄性从青年期开始有能力使卵受精
并且保持繁殖能力直到太古期。
蛋在雌性体内受精,
准备生产所需时间大约是四分之一的孵化期
,如下表所示。
大概数字在表上提供了;
实际周期可能会有10天的偏差。
规则: 龙蛋
虽然它包含一个活的胚胎,还是将龙蛋看作一个无生命体.Laying Dragon Eggs
Dragon eggs are laid in clutches if two to five as often
as once a year.Ovulation begins with mating,
and a female dragon can produce eggs much less often,
if she wishes, simply by not mating. mating and egg Laying
can happen in almost any season of the year.
Most dragon eggs are Laid in a nest within the female`s Lair,
where the parent or parents can guard and tend them.
A typical nest consists of a pit or mound,
with the eggs completely buried in loose material such as
sand
or leaves. A dragon egg`s ovoid shape gives it great
resistance to pressure, and the female can walk ,
fight, or sleep atop the
nest without fear of breaking her eggs.
Dragons sometimes leave their eggs untended. in such cases,
the female takes great care to keep the nest hidden. She or
her mate( or both of them) may visit the area containing the
nest periodically,but they take care not to approach the
nest
too closely unless some danger threatens the eggs.
龙蛋的生产
龙每年生产一次 一窝有2-5个。
排卵从交配开始,一条雌龙生蛋数量通常较少,
如果她愿意, 可以不交配。
交配和生产可以发生在一年中的任何季节。
多数龙蛋下在雌性窝内的巢里,
在那里母亲或父母能守护和照料它们。
典型的巢由坑或土堆组成,
蛋被完全地埋没在松散的材料里譬如沙子或叶子。
龙蛋的卵形结构给予它强大的抗挤压性,
雌性能够在巢上走动,战斗,或者睡觉
而不用担心打破她的蛋。
龙有时会留下它们的蛋远离保护。
在这些情况下,
雌性会非常重视巢的隐蔽。
她或她的配偶(或它们两个) 也许会定期造访包含
巢的区域,但他们会当心不太接近巢
除非蛋受到某种危险的威胁。Hatching Dragon Eggs
When a dragon egg finishes incubating, the wyrmling inside
must break out of the egg. If the parents are nearby,
they often assist by gently tapping on the eggshell.
Otherwise, the wyrmling must break out on it own, a prccess
that usually takes no more than a minute or two once the
wyrmling begin trying to escape the egg. All the eggs in a
clutch hatch at about the same time.
Properly tended and incubated dragon eggs have practically
a 100% hatching rate. Eggs that have been disturbed,and
particularly eggs that have been removed form a nest and
incubated artificially, may be much less likely to produce
live wyrmilings.
孵化龙蛋
当龙蛋完成孵化, 里面的雏龙必须挣脱蛋的束缚。
如果父母是附近,它们通常会帮助雏龙柔和的在蛋壳上轻轻拍打。
否则, 雏龙必须自己突破蛋壳,
当雏龙开始设法逃脱直到挣脱束缚的这个过程通常要花费不到一至二分钟。
一窝里所有的蛋差不多同时开始出壳。
适当地照看和被孵化的龙蛋几乎有100% 孵化率。
被干扰了的蛋,尤其是那些远离巢穴进行人工孵化的蛋,
会比较不可能产下活的雏龙 。RULES:INCUBATING DRAGON EGGS
Once laid, a dragon egg requires suitable incubation
conditions if it is to hatch. The basic requirements
depend on the kind of dragon, as described below.
The embryonic wyrmling inside a dragon egg can survive
under inadequate incubation conditions, but not for long.
For every hour during which incubation conditions are not
met, the wyrmling must make a constitution check(DC 15+1
per previous check; an embryonic wyrmling has the same
constitution score as a hatched wyrmling) to survive.
An embryonic wyrmling inside a dragon egg becomes
sentient as enters the final quarter of the incubation period.
Dragon egg incubation conditions are as follows:
Black: The egg must immersed in acid strong enough to deal
1d4 points of damage per round, or sunk in a swamp, bog,or marsh
Blue:For half or each day,the egg must be kept in a temperature
of 90`F to 120`F, followed by half day at 40`F to 60`F.
Brass:The egg must be kept in an open flame or in a temperature
if at least 140`F.
Bronze:The egg must be immersed in a sea or ocean or someplace
where tidewaters flow over it at least twice a day.
Copper:The egg must be immersed in acid strong enough to deal at
least 1d4 points of damage per round of exposure,or packed in
cool sand or clay(40`F to 60`F).
Gold:The egg must kept in an open flame or in a temperature of at
least 140`F.
Green:The egg must be immersed in acid strong enough to deal at
least 1d4 points of damage per round, or buried in leaves moistened
with rainwater.
Red:The egg must be kept in an open flame or in temperature of at
least 140`F.
Silver: The egg must be buried in snow,encased in ice,or kept in a
temperature below 0`F.
White: The egg must be buried in snow, encased in ice, or kept in
a temperature below 0`F.
规则:孵化龙蛋
一旦生产, 龙蛋要在适应于孵化的环境下孵化。
基本的必须条件取决于那一种龙, 如下所述。
雏龙胚胎在龙蛋里面可以生存在不充分的孵化环境下,但不会太久。
在没有达到孵化条件的环境下,
雏龙每小时必须做体质检定
(DC 15+1 每前一次检定;一个雏龙胚胎拥有和被孵出的雏龙同样体质数值)
决定是否生存。
在孵化期的最后1/4时间
雏龙胚胎在龙蛋里的将变得有意识。
龙蛋孵化环境如下:
黑色: 蛋必需被浸没在强到造成每轮1d4伤害地酸里,或埋入各种沼泽湿地
蓝色:每天的前一半,蛋必须被处于温度保持在华氏90度 到华氏120的环境下, 随后的半天在华氏40度到华氏60度环境下。
黄铜色:蛋必须被放置在明火或至少华式140度的环境下。
青铜色:蛋必须被浸没在大海或大洋或至少每日2次有潮水淹没的地方。
赤铜色:蛋必需被浸入在强到可以造成每轮1d4伤害的酸里,或裹在凉快的沙子或泥土里(华氏40度到华氏60度) 。
金色:蛋必须被放置在明火或至少华式140度的环境下。
绿色:蛋必需被浸没在强到造成每轮1d4伤害地酸里, 或埋入被雨淋过的树叶里。
红色:蛋必须被放置在明火或至少华式140度的环境下。
银色: 蛋必须被埋入雪下,包在冰里,或维持在华氏0度的环境之下。
白色: 蛋必须被埋入雪下,包在冰里,或维持在华氏0度的环境之下。RULES:HATCHING DRAGON EGGS
To hatch, a wyrmling needs to break out of its shell. Form its
position inside the egg, the wyrmling cannot bite eggshell,
and the wyrmling`s claws are too weak to overcome the shell`s
hardness. To escape the egg, the wyrmling must break the shell
by making a DC 20 Strength check. Fortunately for the wyrmling,
it can simply take 20 in the check, breaking the shell in about 2 minutes.
TO determine the day on which the eggs in a clutch hatch,
roll 1d10. On an odd number, the eggs hatch 1d10 days earlier
than the norm(see table1-1). On an even number, the eggs hatch
1d10 days later than the norm.
If the egg has been tended by at least one of the wyrmling`s
parents,it needs to make no further checks to survive.
If incubation conditions have been less than ideal,however,
the wyrmling must make a Constitution check to survive.The
table below provides a list of circumstances and the DC of the
Constitution check to survive despite the bad conditions.
In the case of a disturbed nest or an egg removed form a nest,
the creature tending the egg may make a Heal check,with a
+1 bonus if the creature has 5 or more ranks of
Knowledge(arcane). The wyrmling can use either its own
Constitution check result or the Heal check result, whichever is higher.
Opening an egg before the final quarter of the incubation period
causes the wyrmling in side to die. if the egg is opened during
the final quarter of the incubation period, the wyrmling can make
a check to survive, but if successful it takes nonlethal damage
equal to its current hit points. this damage cannot be healed
until the wyrmling`s normal incubation period passes, and the
wyrmling remains staggered for the entire period. during this
period, a prematurely hatched wyrmling must be tended in the same
manner as an unhatched egg in order to survive.
规则:龙蛋的孵出
从蛋里孵出,雏龙必须挣脱壳的束缚。
根据在蛋里的位置,雏龙无法撕裂蛋壳,
并且雏龙爪子的力量并不足以突破壳的硬度。
为了打破壳雏龙必须做DC20的力量检定。
幸运的是它可以在鉴定中取20,打破壳大约要花2分钟
投1d10来确定一窝蛋的孵化日期。
结果如果是奇数,蛋将比规则(见表1-1)早1d10天孵出。
如果是偶数,蛋将比规则迟1d10天孵出。
如果蛋为雏龙父母中至少一个所照顾,它不需要做进一步检定来确定是否生存。
如果孵化环境比理想差,雏龙必须做一个体质检定来确定是否生存。
如下表所提供的的环境清单所挂钩的体质检定dc值
来决定能否在不利条件下生存。
如下情况比如巢受到干扰或蛋从巢中被移走,
生物照顾着蛋时可以作一个医疗检定,如果该生物拥有5级以上的神秘知识将具有+1加值 。
雏龙可以使用自己的体质检定结果或者医疗检定结果, 取其最高值。
打破一个在孵化期最后1/4以前的蛋会导致雏龙处于死亡的边缘。
如果蛋在孵化期最后1/4期间被打破雏龙可以作一个生存检定 ,如果通过检定将会受到和当前生命值等量的淤伤伤害。
这种伤害无法被治疗直到雏龙通过它的正常孵化期,
并且雏龙在这整个期间很不稳定。
在这期间照料早产的雏龙必须像照顾一个尚未孵化的蛋一样保证其生存。WYRMLING(AGE 0-5 YEARS)
A wyrmling emerges from its egg fully formed and ready to
face life. From the tip of its nose to the end of its tail,
it is about twice as long as the egg that held it (the
actual size of the wyrmling depends on the variety of
dragon;see Chapter 5).
A newly hatched dragon emerges from its egg cramped and
sodden. After about an hour, it is ready to fly, fight,
and reason.it inherits a considerable body of practical
knowledge from its parents, though such inherent knowledge
often lies buried in the wyrmling`s memory, unnoticed and
unused until it is needed.
Compared to older dragons, a wyrmling seems a little
awkward.its head and feet seem slightly oversized,and
its wings and tail are proportionately smaller than they are in adults.
If a parent is present at the wyrmling`s hatching,the
youngster has a protector and will probably enjoy a secure
existence for the first decades of its life. If not , the
wyrmling faces a struggle for survival.
Whether raised by another dragon or left to fend for itself,
the wyrmling`s first order of business is learning to be a
dragon, which includes securing food, finding a lair; and
understanding its own abilities(usually in that order).
A newly hatched wyrmling almost immediately searches for
food. The first meal for a wyrmling left to fend for itself
is often the shell from its egg. This practice not only
assures the youngster a good dose of vital minerals, but
also provides an alternative to attacking and consuming its
nestmates. Wyrmlings reared by parents are often offered
some tidbit that the variety favors. For example, copper
dragons provide their offspring with monstrous centipedes or
scorpions. in many cases this meal is in the form of living
prey, and the wyrmling gets its first hunting lesson along with its first meal.
With its hunger satisfied, the wyrmling`s next task is
securing a lair. The dragon looks for some hidden and
defensible cave, nook, or cranny where it can rest, hide,
and begin storing treasure. Even a wyrmling under the care
of a parent finds a section of the parent`s lair to call its own.
once it feels secure in its lair and reasonably sure of its
food supply, the wyrmling settles down to hone its inherent
abilities. It usually does so by testing itself in any way
it can. It tussles with its nestmates,seeks out dangerous
creatures to fight, and spends long hours in meditation.
If a parent is Present, the wyrmling receives instruction
on draconic matters and the chance to accompany the parent
during its daily activities.Wyrmlings on their own sometimes
seek out older dragons of same kind as mentors.Among good
dragons, such relationships tend to be casual and often last
for decades(a fairly short period by dragon standards).The
Youngster visits the older dragon periodically(monthly,
perhaps weekly) for advice and information. Evil dragons, too,
often counsel wyrmlings that are not their offspring-evil
dragons lack any sense of altruism,but usually understand
the role of youth in perpetuating the species.No matter what
kinds of dragons are involved,such mentor-apprentice
relationships require the younger dragon,and to bring the mentor
gifts of food, information, and treasure.Should the older dragon
ever come to view the apprentice as a rival,the relationship ends
immediately;when evil dragons are involved, the ending is often
fatal for the younger dragon.
雏龙(年龄 0-5岁)
通过充分的成长雏龙从的蛋爬出来并准备面对生活。
从它鼻子尖端到它的尾巴末端,大约是2倍蛋的长度
(雏龙的实际尺寸取决于它是那个种类的龙;参见第5章) 。
一条新孵出的龙是难以辨认和湿漉漉的。
在大约一个小时以后,它会准备好飞行,战斗,和思考。
它从它的父母那里继承了如何去正确有效的使用它的身体,
但是这种于生具来的知识常常被埋没在雏龙们的记忆深处,
在需要使用这些知识以前都是被忽略的。
与更老的龙相比,雏龙有一些笨拙。
它的头和脚比较大,
而翼和尾巴相对成年期的龙则是成比例缩小。
雏龙孵出的时候如果父母在场,
雏龙会有一个保护者并且也许会安全快乐的渡过它生命中最初的10年。
如果不是,雏龙要为了生存而奋斗。
不管由其它龙养大或让它们自生自灭,
雏龙们要学习的第一件事就是成为一条龙,这包括觅食,
找一个窝和了解自身的能力(这是通常的顺序) 。
新出生的雏龙会立刻开始寻找食物。
对于那些无人看管的雏龙来说,第一餐往往是他们的蛋壳。
这个习惯不但可以保证给雏龙生命所需的矿物质,
而且可以准备选择攻击同一个巢里的其他雏龙 。
被父母抚养的雏龙通常可以吃到它们喜欢的种类。
例如,赤铜龙提供他们的子孙以巨大的蜈蚣或
蝎子。在许多情况下这顿食物是活的牺牲者 ,
并且雏龙将在它的第一次进食下得到狩猎的训练。
在满足了它们的饥饿之后, 雏龙的下一项任务是
一个安全可靠的窝。 龙会寻找一些隐蔽和
可防御的洞,角落,缝隙,供它休息,藏身
并开始存放财宝。
一条在父母的照顾下的雏龙会在它双亲的窝里找一个区域划分为它自己的领土。
一旦它觉得有了相当的食物来源和安全的窝,
雏龙将会全身心的投入对自身天赋的磨练。
它通常测试自己能作的任何事情。
和它同巢的雏龙扭打 ,寻找危险的生物战斗, 并且化很长时间冥思。
如果父母在场,雏龙会接受如何以一头龙处事的指导,
偶尔伴随父母处理他们每日的活动。
雏龙有时会找更老的同种龙作导师。
在善龙之间,
这样关系是偶然的并且通常会维持10年(按龙的标准来算很短的一个时期) 。
雏龙会周期性的(每月1次 ,或每周一次) 拜访更老的龙寻求忠告与信息。
恶龙,同样,也会给予并非他们后代的龙以忠告,
因为他们懂得一个不朽种族中年青者的重要性 这并非出自利他主义。
无论什么种类的龙都是复杂的,
这样的导师和学徒关系要求更加年轻的龙为导师带来作为礼物的食物,
信息,和财宝。如果更老的龙
曾经把学徒作为对手来看待,这种关系会马上结束;
当和恶龙有关时, 结局对年轻的龙来说往往是致命的。RULES:WYRMLING ABILITIES
A newly hatched wyrmling cannot fly, takes a -2 penalty on
Dexterity, and has a -2 penalty on attack rolls these
penalties disappear after an hour.
The wyrmling otherwise has all abilities noted for wyrmlings
of its kind in the Monster Manual,including skills and feats.
Its selection of skills and feats is similar to that of its parents.
规则:雏龙的能力
一个新出生的雏龙无法飞行,在敏捷上受到-2惩罚,并且在攻击检定上受-2惩罚。
这些惩罚将在一个小时以后消失。
雏龙的其他能力则和怪物手册上一样,包括技能和专长。
技能和专长的选择类似于他们的父母。VERY YOUNG(AGE 6-15 YEARS)
BY age 6, a dragon has grown enough to double its length,
though its head and feet still seem too big for the rest of its
body. It becomes physically stronger and more robust.The dragon`s
larger size often makes finding a new lair necessary.Many dragons
relocate at this stage anyway, especially if they do not have
parental support.(After the dragon has hunted in an area for five
years, the location of the original lair might have become known
to outsiders, or the area around the lair could become depleted of prey.)
幼年龙 (年龄 6-15岁)
从6岁开始 一条龙已经长到了它雏龙期的2倍长度,
尽管他的头和脚对于身体来说还是过大。它们变得更强壮而且精力充沛。
为了适应巨大的体形龙必需要寻找新的窝来居住。
多数龙都会重新布置他们的地盘,尤其是那些有父母协助的。
(当龙在一个区域狩猎5年后。最初的窝也许已经让外人知道了,
或者周围的牺牲品已经消耗殆尽了)YOUNG(AGE 16-25 YEARS)
By age 16, most dragons begin a new growth spurt that
eventually carries them to their adult size-though they
still retain a wyrmling`s overlarge head and feet. Their
intellects become sharper as ther gain life experience
and master their innate abilities.
At this stage,a drangon begins to feel the urge to collect
treasure and to establish a territory(though it might well
have done both sooner).In some cases,however, a young
dragon continues to share its lair and its territory with
nestmates or parents.Dragons that leave the nest when they
become young often range far form their home lairs,seeking
locales where they can set up housekeeping on their own.
少年龙(年龄 16-25岁)
从16岁开始, 多数龙开始急速发育直到长成他们成人期大小的体形,
虽然他们头和脚还是和雏龙一样过大。
他们的生活经验使他们变得更聪明并掌握他们的天赋。
在这个阶段,龙开始强烈感觉到收敛财宝和建立领地的欲望
(尽管它们也许能很好的同时进行) 。
在某种情况下,
一条少年龙仍然会继续和它们同巢的龙或是父母分享窝和领地。
当龙长到少年期它们会离开窝,
它们通常远离出生地寻找可以自己打理家务的地点。JUVENILE(AGE 26-50 YEARS)
By age 26, a dragon is well on its way to adulthood.
It has nowhere near the physical power of an adult,but
it has an adult`s body proportions . Some species exhibit
the first of their magical powers at this stage.
青少年龙(年龄 26-50岁)
26岁开始 ,龙可以轻松的走过直到成人期的路。
它的力量远不及一个成人期的龙,但是它有一个成年龙的身体比例。
某些种类的龙在这个阶段会第一次施展他们的魔法能力。YOUNG ADULT(AGE 51-100 YEARS)
As it passer the half-century mark, a dragon enters adulthood
(although its body keeps growing for many more years). It is
ready to mate, and most dragons lose no time in doing so.
By this age, a dragon`s scales have developed into armor
formidable enough to turn aside all but magic weaponry or
the teeth and claws of other dragons. A young adult dragon
also masters its first spells and shows evidence of a formidable intellect.
A young adult dragon severs its ties with nestmaster,mentors,
and parents(if it has not done so already) and establishes it
own lair and territory.
青年龙(年龄 51-100岁)
在经过半个世纪的时间后,龙进入成人期。
(尽管它们的身体继续生长许多年) 。
它们准备寻找配偶,并且大多数龙都会及时这么作。
在这个年纪,龙的鳞片变成了一种强大的装甲,
除了魔法武器和其他龙的爪和牙齿它们不惧怕任何攻击。
一条青年龙掌握了它的第一个法术并显示了它可怕的智力。
一条青年龙将会切断它们和导师 父母 以及巢中其他龙的联系,
(如果它还没这样做)和建立自己的窝与领地。ADULT(AGE 101-200 YEARS)
During the second century its life, a dragon`s physical
growth begins to slow-but its body is just entering its
prime.With the dragon`s initial growth spurt over,the
dragon`s body becomes even more powerful and healthy.
An adult dragon continues to hone its mental faculties
and masters more skills and magic.
At this stage in life, a dragon is most likely take a
longterm mate and share its lair with a mate and offspring.
成年龙(年龄 101-200岁)
在它生命中的第二个世纪期间,
龙的发育速度开始变慢,
但它的身体状况已经是一流的了。
随着它们最初的快速发育的结束,
龙的身体变得前所未有的强大和健康。
成年龙继续磨练着它们的精神力量,
并且掌握更多技巧和魔力。
在它生命中的这个阶段, 龙多数会找一个长期配偶
并和它以及后代分享自己的窝。MATURE ADULT(AGE 201-400 YEARS)
When a dragon passes the two-century marks,its physical
and mental prowess continue to improve,though it usually
undergoes little obvious physical change. By this stage
of life,a dragon is truly a force to be reckoned with-and it knows it.
Mature adults display a degree of self-confidence that
younger dragons lack. Mature adults seldom seek out
danger just to prove themselves(except,perhaps,against
other dragons). Instead,they act with purpose and
confidence, often launching schemes that take years to complete.
Because of a manture adult`s power,wealth,and age,it seldom
remains unnoticed in the large world.Its name becomes Known,
at least among other dragons, and it often becomes the
target of rival dragons or adventures. One of mature adult`s
first orders of business is to review and improve the defenses
in its lair. Often,the dragon relocates as a matter of
prudence. The dragon never chooses its new lair hastily,and
usually includes in its plans some scheme to secure more
treasure. Bards` tales of dragons destroying kingdoms and
seizing their treasuries often have their roots in true
accounts of what happents when a mature adult dragon is on the move.
壮年龙(年龄 201-400岁)
当龙走过二个世纪的时间,它们的威力在物质和精神继续上升高,
通常它们的身体会有一些明显的变化。
在它们生命的这个阶段,一条龙真实的力量和人们所料想的一样,
并且它自己知道这一点。
壮年期的龙会呈现出一种自信,这是更年青的龙所缺乏的。壮年期的龙很少用危险来证明自己(反对,质疑,反抗其它龙)。
取而代之的是,它们有目且充满信心的行动,通常要通过几年的计划来使之完美。
由于壮年龙的力量,财富,和年龄,
它很极少在这个巨大的世界里不被人注意。
它们名声远播,至少在其它龙当中,
并且这经常使它们成为同类竞争者或冒险者的目标。
作为一头壮年龙来说第一件事就是对巢穴的检查和增强它的防御能力。
通常,龙会谨慎小心的重新布置相关事务。
龙永远不会仓促的选择它们的新窝,
并且如何安排保护更多的财宝经常在它们的计划之中。
诗人口中关于龙抢夺财宝,摧毁王国是有它真实根据的,
比如这会发生在一条壮年龙正在搬家的时候。OLD(AGE 401-600YEARS)
By the time most dragons reach this age, their physical
growth stops, though they become even more hardy,and
their minds and they magical powers continue to expand with
the passing centuries.
Old dragons usually begin to show some outward signs of
aging; Their scales begin to chip and crack at the edges and
also to draken and lose their luster (though some metallic
dragons actually take on a burnished appearance), and the
irises in their eyes begin to fade, so that their eye begin
to resemble featureless orbs.
Most old dragons continue to hone the patient cunning
they began to develop as mature adults. Though quick to
defend what they regard as their own, they seldom rush into
anything, preferring instead to plumb the possibilities in
any situation before acting.
老龙(年龄 401-600岁)
当多数龙到达这年龄的时候,它们的身体停止了生长,
虽然它们变得更加强壮,
而它们的头脑和魔法力量在将来的几个世纪里会不断增强。
老年龙开始呈现出一些老化的迹象;
它们的鳞片变得破碎而有裂痕,并且颜色变得黯淡而失去光泽
(虽然一些金属龙实际上有一个光鲜的外表) ,
它们的虹膜开始退色,所以它们的眼睛看起来好像毫无特色的水晶球。
多数老年龙继续磨练着它们狡猾的耐心,
这早已从壮年期开始了。
虽然,龙会迅速保护它们认为私有的东西,但它们很少为了任何事草率行动,
取而代之的是在行动之前考虑到可能发生的任何情况。VERY OLD(AGE 601-800YEARS)
After passing the six century mark, a dragon becomes even
more resistant to physical punishment. It begins
mastering potent spells and magical abilities. This is the
last stage of life in which female dragons remain fertile,
and most females attempt to raise at least two clutches of
eggs before their reproductive period runs out.
极老龙(年龄 601-800岁)
当龙走过6个世纪的时间,它们对物理攻击的抵抗力变得更强。
它开始掌握强力的法术和魔法能力。对于雌龙来说,
生命中的这个时期是它们最后一次繁殖的后代的机会,
并且多数雌性在它们失去生殖能力之前会尝试最少生2窝蛋。ANCIENT (AGE 801-1,000YEARS)
BY THIS STAGE, FEMALE DRAGONS HAVE REACHED the end of their
reproductive years. Many females compensate by mentoring
younger dragons of the species,as do many males.
Ancient dragons have little to fear from much younger dragons
that have not yet reached adulthood,and they have much wisdom
and experience to pass on.
Most dragons at this age have minds to match the best and
brightest humans, and they can tap into vast stores of
knowledge,both practical and esoteric.
古龙(年龄801-1,000岁)
在这个时期,雌龙到达了它们繁殖年龄的尽头。
作为补偿,多数雌龙象雄性那样开始指导更年青的龙。
古龙对还没到成年期的年青龙有一些担心,
且它们的智慧的和经验对于那些龙来说是非常有益的。
多数龙在这个时期拥有一个和最聪明的人类相提并论的头脑,
它们就好像一个巨大的知识宝库,无论是实践的经验还是神秘知识。WTRM(AGE 1,001-1,200YEARS)
Surviving for more than a thousand years is a grand accomplishment,
even for dragons, and this stage is great milestone in dragon life.
Even among rival dragons, a Wyrm commands at least grudging respect.
Male dragons at this stage are reaching the end of their reproductive
years, but their exalted status among dragons practically guarantees
them mates. Younger females often establish territories adjacent
to a male wyrm for mating, for protecting, and to make it easy for
the offspring to gain the wyrm as a mentor.
上古龙(年龄 1,001-1,200岁)
超过一千年的生命是一个伟大的成就,就算对于龙来说 ,
而生命中的这个阶段对龙来说是一个里程碑。
就算是竞争对手的龙,一条上古老至少会赢得表面上的尊敬。
雄龙在这个阶段下到达他们的繁殖年龄的尽头,
但它们的崇高地位保证了它们的配偶。
更年青的雌龙通常会在雄性上古龙的邻近地区建立领土,
为了交配,寻求保护,并使它的后代可以轻松的获得上古龙的指导。GREAT WYRM (AGE 1,201+YEARS)
When a dragon passes the twelve-century mark,its mental and
physical development is finally at an end, and the dragon is
at the peak of its physical,mental,and magical powers.
太古龙 (年龄1,201岁以上)
当龙走过十二个世纪,它们的精神和身体发展到了最终形态,
它们的身体,精神以及魔法力量到达了顶点。
