Rules: Dragon Eggs
Although it contains a living embryo, treat a dragon egg as an inanimate object with the following statistics.
Black: The egg must be immersed in acid strong enough to deal at least 1d4 points of damage per round, or sunk in a swamp, bog, or marsh.
Blue: For half of each day, the egg must be kept in a temperature of 90°F to 120°F, followed by a half day at 40°F to 60°F.
Brass: The egg must be kept in an open flame or in a temperature of 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 be 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 a 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.
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 it enters the final quarter of the incubation period. Dragon egg incubation conditions are as follows:Black: The egg must be immersed in acid strong enough to deal at least 1d4 points of damage per round, or sunk in a swamp, bog, or marsh.
