This is hopelessly unfair.

This is, statistically, a moderately above average start in life for a red dragon, and a massively above average start in life for a sentient on Golarion. You're only 3 years old and already CR 6.

You've got perfectly reasonable mental stats, a very good fly speed, pretty solid attacks and defences.

You belong to the single most powerful species in the world.

A species that has been on the verge of extinction for millennia.

I only get any of that if I stay alive for hundreds of years.

Probably I won't make it through the winter. I'll just freeze to death.

Hot air rises over belkzen, and the night is warm in summer high above the badlands. Your +10 perception sees the edges of hills and dried river beds in the terrain below under the moonlight. Though you can't make out individual people, little glowing lights between the hills tell of villages and clanholds.

Why. Why so many like them and so few like me?

More efficient reproductive cycles?
Lower infant mortality rates?
Opposable thumbs?

Either that or the gods just like them more and you less.

They hate you because you're better than them, and so they know they can only hope to win by ganging up. That's why everyone treats red dragons like they're the worst, the absolute bottom.

Even the Holy Paladins of Lastwall would be rooting for their own enemies the orcs, in a fight against a red dragon.

Because they're more Good, comparatively, not because they're less selfish but because they're less powerful. Good is when the weak win and the strong lose.

This is rigged.

This is life. You exist.

If the rules are rigged against you, then cheat. It's not like anyone wasn't going to assume you're not to be trusted anyway.

So what are you going to do next?
