necropolitan/undead question

[parinho7]

do the abilities of a necropolitan change because of aging effects?

if a human take the ritual of crucimigration he changes his type to undead but his race remains human, isn't that right?

so does he get older?

I think that Undead are immune to aging effects to begin with.

Look under "Undead Traits" to be sure.

 

[parinho7]

just checked it, there is not such feature or trait for the undead type. it says though that they are immune to ability score damage but aging does not produce ability damage

I would assume immortality is the reason most non-combatant NPCs undergo the ritual to begin with.

Okay, then look up the aging table for Necropolitan, and apply modifiers accordingly.

I don't know if RAW says anything on that.

My DM gut says that once you become undead, you stop aging, since body physical processes stop processing.

Therefore, the age category you were upon gaining the template would be the age category you remained in.

But that's DM gut, can't support that for or against with RAW.

Well if your game world makes use of the evolved undead template then that might be what an aging necropolitan experiences. That's about as close to aging as most undead get. (except zombies they rot)
