Basically, age is just a flavor. And playing an old aged character is usually OK as old age lowers physical stats while raising mental stats. Actually, one of my friend has played a level 1 human wizard of venerable age.But yeah, allowing to play some type of characters may bring up game-balance issue. Dragonwrought Kobold is one example. Another one is higher level Monk of venerable age who claims to have reached L17 while he was still young.Designers of the core rules seem not have been expecting this problem and I don't know any iron rule to prevent this kind of abuse.I guess it is something should be discussed within each play group.Personally, I will vote for not allowing such PC in our play group if someone tried to do that.</blockquote>
