[QUOTE="BLACKDIRGE, post: 454775, member: 1953"] Thanks, I am glad you like it. You're right, I did use the half-orc age table. Its probably not exactly how an orc would age but I figure its close enough. Do you think doubling the XP per year is accurate for the life of an orc? He gets up to level 10 in his seventies. Fixed the skill points at level 7, I didn't account for him gaining a point in Int. Yeah, I guess he would have to have two javelins in order to get two attacks, fixed it. I didn't reduce his CR at middle age because I didn't think he lost enough to really matter. His strength is essentially the same and the loss of a point of dex has no effect in the game. He did lose a Con point which dropped hit hit points a bit, but I figured he made up for it with the new magic items. I will, however, take your advice and reduce his CR at old and venerable. Stay tuned for the exciting continuation of "The Saga of Hargash".:D [/QUOTE]
