Ghost and aging.

[Outlanders]

In the game I play in, one of the characters was hit by a ghost's magical age attack, and was instantly aged 51 years.

How do we reverse this? Would a restore take care of it, or would we need something more powerful?

By default, there are no methods for reversing aging in 3E, because there are no creatures or attacks that cause aging in 3E either. You must be playing an earlier edition of D&D, or your DM has a homebrewed ghost of some kind. Either way, your best bet might be a restoration spell.

Given that the Core Rules don't contain Aging effects (the Ghost in the 3E Monster Manual doesn't have a magical age attack), neither do they have rules for anti-aging.

Ghosts causing aging is from previous editions, so presumably your DM will include such items from previous editions as Elixir or Youth to combat it.

Ugh, that was what I was afraid of. I checked my Monster Manual, and found that there was nothing in it about a Ghost aging someone...

So, clearly, the GM is using a home-brewed critter here.

Ok, time to start figuring out a way to do it... we can try the Restoration next week, maybe that'll work, maybe it won't.

Thanks for the suggestions.

There is an epic monster that causes aging. But nothing in the base manuals.

Ghost Dragons in Monsters of Farune have a breath weapon that ages d% years... Yeah, clearly a bad 2E holdover...

Don't sweat it, though. I'm sure there's a wizard someplace in your world who's been using an elixir of youth as a new-adged paperweight or something ever since the switch to 3E.

EDIT: If restoration dosn't work, go for Limited Wish, then Wish or Miricale.
