Is there a way to mature my dragon faster?












4












$begingroup$


Recently, in dnd 5e game, I got a young dragon and I want it to become at least mature (if ancient is not a possibility). However, I wouldn't like to wait for too much. Is there some kind of potion/spell that can speed this process up or some other way.



The campaign won't last a year, so my dragon cannot wait 100 years to mature.

          Depends on what you call "mature".



          Raw aging can be done via magical means, as accurately described in K-T's answer.



          But an adult dragon has a better stats block than a young dragon not only because of it's age, but also because of it's experience.



          Your DM will decide what stat block he wants to use for a "magically aged young dragon" - and how the creature behaves, depending on the chosen method (credit to ling).

            I have the same feeling about the "ghost" option, but I didn't want to include specific means in this answer - it would only make information redundant. Does this wording clarify it enough for you ?

          Lots of Potions of Longevity




          Potion of Longevity



          Potion, very rare



          When you drink this potion, your physical age is reduced by 1d6 + 6
          years, to a minimum of 13 years. Each time you subsequently drink a
          potion of longevity, there is 10 percent cumulative chance that you
          instead age by 1d6 + 6 years. Suspended in this amber liquid are a
          scorpion's tail, an adder's fang, a dead spider, and a tiny heart
          that, against all reason, is still beating. These ingredients vanish
          when the potion is opened.




          The first few times the dragon drinks the potion, it'll probably get younger. But after the 10th potion, the dragon will be guaranteed to get older every time. Getting enough Potions of Longevity might be tough though, due to them being very rare.



          Alternatively...



          Get a ghost to scare your dragon



          Consider the ghost's Horrifying Visage action:




          Horrifying Visage. Each non-undead creature within 60 ft. of the ghost
          that can see it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be
          frightened for 1 minute. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target
          also ages 1d4 x 10 years. A frightened target can repeat the saving
          throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the Frightened condition
          on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or
          the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this ghost's
          Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours. The aging effect can be
          reversed with a Greater Restoration spell, but only within 24 hours of
          it occurring.




          If the ghost uses this action, and the dragon's Wisdom saving throw is 8 or below, it will age an average of 25 years. A ghost can try to scare the dragon once every 24 hours. That might not be very quick compared to drinking a bunch of potions, but it's a lot cheaper!

              Get a ghost to scare your dragon



              Consider the ghost's Horrifying Visage action:




              Horrifying Visage. Each non-undead creature within 60 ft. of the ghost
              that can see it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be
              frightened for 1 minute. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target
              also ages 1d4 x 10 years. A frightened target can repeat the saving
              throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the Frightened condition
              on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or
              the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this ghost's
              Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours. The aging effect can be
              reversed with a Greater Restoration spell, but only within 24 hours of
              it occurring.




              If the ghost uses this action, and the dragon's Wisdom saving throw is 8 or below, it will age an average of 25 years. A ghost can try to scare the dragon once every 24 hours. That might not be very quick compared to drinking a bunch of potions, but it's a lot cheaper!

                Lots of Potions of Longevity




                Potion of Longevity



                Potion, very rare



                When you drink this potion, your physical age is reduced by 1d6 + 6
                years, to a minimum of 13 years. Each time you subsequently drink a
                potion of longevity, there is 10 percent cumulative chance that you
                instead age by 1d6 + 6 years. Suspended in this amber liquid are a
                scorpion's tail, an adder's fang, a dead spider, and a tiny heart
                that, against all reason, is still beating. These ingredients vanish
                when the potion is opened.




                The first few times the dragon drinks the potion, it'll probably get younger. But after the 10th potion, the dragon will be guaranteed to get older every time. Getting enough Potions of Longevity might be tough though, due to them being very rare.



                Alternatively...
