Back in 2e days, casting certaining spells automatically aged the caster, like haste, wish and reincarnation. In 3e they dropped that, so for all intents in purposes over a campaign long story issues of aging never really come up. There must be a reason the player in question making the request did not choose to be an elf or other "more or less ageless" race to be chosen. There must also be a reason (beyond fluff) to want to be ageless. As a DM, I see red flags when someone requests this. They may act all innocent in the request, but there must be a mechanical reason for asking - even if they spend the next 10 levels with their mouth shut about it. Eventually the game breaking aspect to requesting the ageless condition will rear its head - and you'll say as DM, why did I ever allow him to get that.If it works for you, go for it, but I have a feeling someone is going to regret granting the ageless quality to the requester. Too many red flags with that.One of the design goals for Pathfinder is to make it less broken then 3e, if you allow something like this, you're breaking the game all over again - why would you want to allow that?GPPS: I can think of a dozen broken reasons as to why someone would want to be ageless - there in fact is many mechanical reasons for desiring that condition. And they are the same reasons a lich or vampire wants to be ageless, involving power spells and rituals.</blockquote>
