Please implement the AGING system!

[vinzzt]

Dev's! seeing as there are certain pro's and con's about implementing this...but most races are being
undervalued and some overpowered because of this is lacking...

For example: why do you see alot of humans and h/orcs around..(don't get me wrong i don't hate 'em ) because they don't age.. they don't get the aging penalty that the P&P offers...(which helps balancing the races...) which in turn lets people make them the more logical choice... if so implemented, the solution leaves them that if they want to maintain their current strength.. reincarnate...

elves on the otherhand and other long lived races would be much appreciated for their longer lifespan.. as it should be... (cuz right now... go figure..)

just a thought... smile! ^_^

[Dexol]

/no

i dont see enforced reincarnation ever happening, although my dwarf already looks like he's wearing the +3 incontinence underpants that would appear in the store.

[Memnir]

Yes, I'm sure that's why we see so many other races besides Elves....

Seriously have you ever played a campaign where charachters aged ?

[LordRavnos]

I have played a campaign where age was a factor, it was specifically set up so we could RP our children and grandchildren, but my human wizard cheated anyway. He used the wish spell to give him a druids ageless body, forget the name atm, so I got to get all the benefits of increased mental stats with no negative physical stats . Ah I love thee wish spell.

yes! but I was a wizard then.. so aging helped..

as old age grants (70+ for humans) -3str/dex/con +3 int/wizs/cha

DDO is aspiring to be true to it's roots so why not..

let's say 1 year in DDO would be 1 month IRL? (so to start... )

Does it matter if the toon will live longer than the people who play them.

[vinzzt]

guess what... that's why your using it because it's overpowered

NO!! what if people take a break for a few months huh?

[pHo3nix]

What about wf?

[vinzzt]

then let the dev's make a hybernate or eternal sleep option that way your char doesn't age...just wake them up if your up to playing again.. and for other who would wish to age their characters, keep em on..

[bryanmeerkat]

This would actually make elves worse .

Now all casters would be human so they could hurry up and age already for the bonus to int

That is why there is an age limit.... when reaching that, your character becomes unusable unless you reincarnate... (that's the beauty of role-playing your character gets to die of old age)

Ohhh.. edit... still usable.. but as a ghost.. you can wander stormreach talk to players and npc's and travel from town to town.. but cannot run quest...

[NeutronStar]

No

[Eistander]

Heh.. if something like this was implemented, more than a couple of my toons would drop dead as soon as I entered the game.. they are that "old" now.

So no, not something that is needed in an MMO, let alone this one. Just won't work.

Also in real PnP your character becomes "unsusable" when you die and your friends cannot provide you with a resurrection option, but DDO has a respawn button...wanna remove that too? Did you ever bother playing actually an MMO game before?

Incorrect, there are 3 tiers of aging in 3.5

the 1st tier (Middle Age) is -1 str/dex/con and +1 int/wis/cha
the 2nd tier (Old) is -2 str/dex/con and +1 int/wis/cha
the 3rd tier (Venerable) is -3 str/dex/con and +1int/wis/cha

stat changes are cumulative, so by Venerable you have a total of -6 str/dex/con and +3 int/wis/cha

{p.109, directly under table 6-4, D&D Core 3.5: "The effects of each aging step are cumulative. However, none of a character's ability scores can be reduced below 1 in this way."}

So nerf Humans because I like Elves. NO

NO

There used to be a couple of words...


Seriously, it's a MMO. If you want this kind of detail I suggest you look for a SPRPG.
