The following are examples of possible level
Wyrm
Mounds of treasure lie beneath the slumbering
bodies of the majestic Wyrms. Be grateful that
these hoards are enough to occupy their mind and
keep them satisfied, for if these great dreamers
stretched out their thieving paws, all would
quickly fall before their wrath. The Wyrms sit on
their throne on top of the world, observing all that
belongs to them, because to the King of the
Immortals, all of creation came to be to obey his
every whim. Ones who will accept their role as
eternal servants will be granted a life of peace, and
those, who dare think of laying their unworthy
hands on one of the treasures, awaits eternal
oblivion.
Becoming a Wyrm
Everyone has heard of the Wyrms from history or
old legends, but only a lucky few could brag of
seeing a dragon and living to tell the tale and no
one knows for sure how these great beasts
originated. Your greed for treasure, an ancient
curse or wish led you to become a Wyrm, you
should discuss with your GM what type of Wyrm
you would like to become, and how this can be
implemented in the campaign.
Transformation Features

features:
Prerequisites:
Ability Scores: Constitution 16 and Charisma 16.

Wyrm. This usually comes from the greatest of
spells or a will that transcends reality itself.
Discuss with your GM how you can achieve this
in-game. Some of your abilities require your
target to make a saving throw to resist their
effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as
follows:
Transformation save DC = 8 + your proficiency
bonus + your Charisma modifier
