    (But that's getting off subject) A DRG was able to execute his/her role as DD by doing less damage than a WAR and having abilities that would shed it's own hat, and in some cases the hate of others. In this way it was easier for taking jobs to fulfill there roll. The Wyvern (witch I still believe should be addressed as a Wyrmling), roll was to make up for the DRG's lack in overall damage output, so in speculation, the DRG/Wyvern combo was a way of applying the max amout of damage as other jobs, but splitting the hate between the two, overall expanding the duration of the exp. pt.

    As for weather or not the Wyvern should grow as they level, this is a big fat no no, being as Level has nothing to do with age. That Wyvern that follows there Dragoon counterpart around just hatched from an egg. That being said, in most if not all mythology, dragons take centuries to get even to the size of the true wyvers (You know those things with out hands, only thouse hookey things on there wings) you all kill on a daily basis.

    In short, one day my little Soryu will be as large as the notorious Bahamut, but I'll be long dead before that happens.
    Deep, very deep.

    Would read again but there is room for improvement.

    Who says growth can't have anything to do with level? There's plenty of instances within Vana'Diel where level is augmented with a variance in appearance.

    Time in Vana'Diel also makes very little sense. Your wyvern growing up a bit would not strike me as odd, when you consider all the other time-related nonsense going on.

    Finally, what real-world mythology dictates is irrelevant- It's SE's custom world, they are allowed to be creative (As they have been, and as they still can be).

    "Call Wyvern" though, that's a good one. The only way we're going to solve that riddle is by SE showing us what an adult Dragoon Wyvern looks like.
