The Rules
I have been using a modified version of Tar's Pinkerlocke rules because I am both very picky and very sentimental. Listing them here is both to hold myself accountable and to keep track of what I have changed for myself.
Basics:
- When the dragons die in battle, they get moved from the lair to Hibernal and are in a tab specifically for the dead. I don't want to lose such a nice place to store a dragon's specific lore and since there are so many hundreds of slots, I think this is a nice way to keep their memories alive even though they aren't.
- Each level a dragon goes up is one more piece of apparel they can wear. I like planning and making outfits so trying to create things over such a large amount of time will be a fun challenge! Skins and Accents will probably be thrown on and off willy nilly.
- When a dragon reaches level 25, they become an Elder and are no longer usable in battle. This will be important later, but for now, it's a guideline on who gets used when. As soon as a dragon makes 25, they must be removed from the team and the next highest dragon (Not already in the team) replaces them.
- Flip a coin for any Nest hatched. Heads, they survive the difficult first days, tails, they are overcome by the dangers of fresh life.
Pinkerton Specific
Food: Fights, the length of a run depends on the type of food. Plants - 10 matches; Insects - 20 matches; Seafood - 30 matches; Meat - 40 matches.
Materials: Writing, most often either going to be in the form of a finished dragon bio, or in an update to the storied version of these events.
Trinkets: Art, most likely going to be small doodles or perhaps like some poetry. I'll probably end up posting these in bulk on my twitter lmao
Familiars: Hatch a dragon egg. I'm really picky when it comes to dragons, so I figured the best way to not get rebellious and break my own rules by buying a dragon that doesn't match the original ruleset just because it's pretty is to remove the temptation entirely. This will only be in effect if I have eggs or the funds to buy eggs at the moment though.
Apparel: If there is a pair with acceptable breeding colours, and they are not on cooldown, breed them. I'm really Finicky when it comes to breeding dragons, most of the ones in my main lair have never been bred and will likely always stay that way. When I say acceptable, I don't mean perfect, but at least not eye-burny or giving the possibility of colours that are impossible to match.
Battle Item: Illness. Roll a d20 (because I have so many and this is a simple use). If the number comes up as a 1-3, every elder in the clan currently, succumbs and is moved to hibernation. If it comes up as 18-20, everyone survives. From then on, each elder is rolled in order - 1-10 means that elder dies, and 11-20 means that elder survives.
