Thanks for the synopsis and link J_D, it does allow for that (shall we* say) more realistic portrayal of an fantasy social ecology. I can see this optional rule making even more sense in a VP/WP adaption (like SW) where just because you are more knowledgeable and older does't mean you get to live longer in a situation when the shots start flying. True, in terms of full blown fantasy adventuring the hero's are supposed to be able to meet challenges of increasing difficulty, regardless of their physical ages. Which is fine for many gamers and DMs. Heck, it was fine for me as well. My tastes have simply changed with time.On that note, remember that I am asking for opinions and instances on 'if' this particular issue comes up. What works for some, may not work for others. And rules is such a misnomer. I wonder if anyone has recently started a petition to change the terminology to 'guidelines.'  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> *and by 'we' I mean me.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> </blockquote>
