[QUOTE="udalrich, post: 4916626, member: 53796"] If the feat actually says you ignore aging penalties, I'd be shocked if the designer of the feat to expect almost everyone who takes it to be venerable. So it should be balanced under those circumstances. The only online source I could find for the feat ([URL="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ps/20060111a"]Product Spotlight: Races of the Dragon[/URL]) though, makes me wonder if the designer thought about balance at all. Immunity to spells targeting humanoids, darkvision, low-light vision, immunity to sleep and paralysis effects and +2 to a skill? That seems a lot for a feat. It seems overpowered to me, even without aging bonuses to mental stats. The link listed doesn't say anything about ignoring aging penalties, and I couldn't find anything about that under the dragon type in the SRD. Is the text at the link incomplete, or is that coming from someplace I didn't check? [/QUOTE]
