[QUOTE="Magic Rub, post: 142364, member: 3619"] I agree that the age chart for undead should be mod. to reflect a drastically slower advancement. However that would effectively make this entire string a null point. Besides how old do PC's "normally" get, really. I mean sure if you play the same PC for 5 - 10 years (?depending how much you play?) in real time, or your campaign moves really fast, then I could see the undead age question as being effective. Generally speaking your PC would never age enough for it to make a difference. Another point while I'm ranting. . . Let me play devils advocate & say that the aging chart is meant for just living PC's it has negatives & bonuses for the ageing of a living body, or slowly dieing depending on your perspective. With age comes reduced physical abilities & increased mental power. A nicely designed system of checks and balances. If you're playing an undead PC you obviously don't care about say your CON. & it's associated bonus, and there by you are not going to be suffering a negative by ageing because that won't affect you. It's only a bonus then, and not fair to regular PC's. Maybe if there was an experience penalty? I had an Elf wizard PC that started his adventuring career at a venerable age, however he didn't last very long. Brittle bones, poor cardiovascular, and a touch of senility did him in. It was sad really. [/QUOTE]
