Permanent Portable Magnificent Mansion?

Do not forget, a demiplane can be given any set of features you like. You can even change the laws of physics and magic. Making a demiplane is the ultimate act of not just creation but of creativity...

True, especially if you tilt it moderately Positive and set the Time factor to 1 round:1 day allowing you to enter and return one round later fully rested and 24 hp Fast Healed (plus whatever actions taken within); a feature likewise greatly appreciated by your Crafters.

It is your universe, you make the rules. Decide you can exit a portal to the same point in time that you entered it...

Hm... So does the effect of time passing still impact your body's metabolism? If a day passes within your universe, do you still age a day?

Sure, the demiplane is just outside the normal continuum and the portal connects to a point in Time as well as space.

But your body still travels with you, being you and all. The passage of time, whatever that time may be, still has an effect on your person.
Can you describe to me the specific mechanics you have in mind to prevent this?
I'm seriously asking, because my Factotum's intended retirement many levels from now is to retreat to the Astral Plane (Timeless) thru a protal to his fortress and remain there, crafting, while clients come to him. Should he ever leave, the affects of aging will catch up to him and he'd turn to dust. If there is a mechanical alternative, I'm interested, but I need to be able to pitch it to my DM when the time comes.

RAW says time is subjective so you're correct ... however sounds like he'd be more a plot-point/npc by that time so chances are your GM would gratefully allow some form of immortality/life-extension to maintain his presence. Undeath offers many benefits.

Time in the demiplane would be completely normal. The portal to go in and out of the demiplane would be like a time portal, connected to one point in time outside the demiplane in normal space. So let us say you build the demiplane on January 26, 2012. You go inside and spend a full year inside the demiplane. You age a year. When you leave through the portal you end up in normal space on January 26, 2012, even though you left on January 26, 2013.

The only way to travel with your 2000 warforged scout guerrilla incursion force...

This is the problem though, your body has still aged a year. You return to the Material Plane at the same moment, but your body is older. Do that 50 times, and you've aged 50 years in a second. How does one prevent this?
We need a demiplane where time goes backwards.
