Wow, I don't think I've ever run or played in a game with PC's who were over 25. Most are under 20.I think that the only reason we've never seen much about immortality in D&D is that (1) it just doesn't come up that often and (2) if you can make yourself immortal then there's no real reason to make yourself into a Lich or other type of undead/outsider. I just wouldn't worry about the agelessness thing. Make a Wish able to grant immortality (in the usual sense of 'you don't age anymore' along with the ability to put you at what age you want to be), or at least give you an elf's lifespan - if the latter, make it a special quest or something.Usually IMC, it's not something anyone's ever asked about but there a a number of ways to acheive it (though only one or two routes if you're Good or Neutral - drinking from a certain spring, and a couple ritual spells that are around.)An idea I've also toyed with is that all Paladins are effectively unaging from the time they accept the burden of Paladinhood, and some high-level clerics are - the Gods make them so. (In every campaign I've run so far, you can't be a 'godless' Paladin or Cleric). They may ask that the gift be taken back, in which case they begin to age again (unless they are really ancient; then they just turn to dust). Usually though by the time they're at the point where they'd ask that, they've long since left the material plane behind and they're doing their god's work directly.</blockquote>
