Age Modifiers

Post by JesterOI »

Seeing as how LETO is in would it be possible to have age modifiers?

Take a human for example.
At age 20 they don't get any modifiers.
But
At age 50 they could get something like -2str, -2con, +2int, +2wis.

Not sure how the 3rd Ed. rules handle this, but I know AD&D 2nd had some rules on this.

nice thought, but how you gonna implant it?

right from the creation of the toon (fill in agebox and toon keeps that age)?

during lvling up (like +1year/2-3lvlups)?

time spent on server with that toon ( like +1year/10hours playtime)?

or...?

sure will make wizards more powerfull thou

Yeah, we could do that, as long as at a certain number of years the toon gets automatically deleted....

well, presumably after a certain age even the mental abilities start to degrade, so after a while even a caster would become useless when their casting stat drops too low.
It'd sure suck being a human, all the other races live at least 50% longer.

Except Half-Orcs/Half-Ogres. I believe they live about half as long. I know I would be putting a 2 in the age column.

Maybe after a while, they just become undead and we will have a server full of skeletons running around :-)

I was thinking of keeping the age static like it is now, just adding age ability modifiers for certain age ranges for each race.
