I had completley forgotten about the Disease Track. Being a completist, I would prefer a set of rules that covers mundane aging, and then a disease track of 'accelerated aging' that would simply refer to the former for mechanical impacts. That way you can handle if the effects become permanent..  I agree that the former rules were a bit of a pain as they altered stats, but I think its nice to have a method of showing the difference in ages and the eventual death by old age.** mods, can you move this over to the HR forum?[start brainstorming]Age categories include: - Juvenile {14 or less} - Adult {15 - 35} - Middle Aged {36 - 53} - Old  {54 - 70} - Venerable {70 +  with death by old age in 2D10 years}Ages by race available on the <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/description.htm" target="_blank">3.5 SRD pages</a>Advancing into the Middle Aged and beyond earns the character an ailment of some sort. Possible ailments include: Trick knee, reduce REF by 1 Lame, reduce speed by 1 Half-blind, -5 penalty to sight based perception checks Easily Winded, at the start of each day, you are weakened unless you expend a healing surge Delusional, reduce WILL by 1etc.. Possibly the PC comes up with the ailment based on thier history or build a table of random effects. Generally the ailment should have a minor mechanical impact on the character.Accelerated Aging - Disease TrackCured <>  Initial Attack: You gain an age category and an ailment <>  Adapting: Your body is accepting the change <> Aged: Your new age category becomes permanent, altho a Wish or Major Restoration may reverse this effect.Note: If you are magically aged beyond Venerable, you must make a Death Save each extended rest, failure results in death by aging as your body gives out under the stress.  eh.. I will have to think on this. I will drop back in over this week to see what comments have been thrown as this idea.</blockquote>
