[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1309249, member: 1465"] Very interesting topic! I cannot find in the SRD if Undead are immune to aging effects. Clearly their dead body doesn't age as a living body would, but if they are not mindless undead the aging bonuses to mental stats should probably still apply. Anyway, I could even accept if a DM wanted to apply the aging penalties to physical stats (except obviously Constitution) by saying that they are caused by the slow decay or rotting of the body... This quote has nothing to do with aging, but it notes that many undead can heal lost HPs even if as undead they have no metabolism. The DM who wants to apply aging penalties to Strength and Dexterity to undead could say that over extended period of time they represent the results of getting wounded/healed over and over, perhaps having a limb severed and maybe not reattached, having bones broken and repaired many times and other nasty stuff... or otherwise simply have the dead flesh become stiffier and more rigid.
