[QUOTE="Chunklets, post: 1584949, member: 20069"] So I'm playing a human druid right now, and he's about the come up on the magic age of 35, which according to the PHB slings him into middle age, with the accompanying bonuses/penalties (he's not high enough in level to get the Timless Body trait). I've got a couple of questions for anyone else out there who's played a middle-aged or older character. First off, what, if anything, did you do differently? Secondly, did you set out to play an older character, or did the particular campaign simply last long enough that you character reached his/her age "naturally." For my part, I did actually deliberately set out to create an older character, simply because I'd never done it before. As for what I do differently... well, it's obviously going to have to be a gradual adjustment of the character's personality. I'm thinking of slowly having the character become more easy-going and relaxed, although he's pretty much that way to begin with. What I definitely want to avoid is a descent into cliche-dom. Anyway, any and all thoughts on the matter are eagerly awaited! [/QUOTE]
