== Age and Aging ==
 
With age, a character’s physical ability scores decrease and his or her mental ability scores increase (see Table: Aging Effects). The effects of each aging step are cumulative. However, none of a character’s ability scores can be reduced below 1 in this way.
 
When a character reaches venerable age, secretly roll his or her maximum age, which is the number from the Venerable column on that Race's page, plus the result of the dice roll indicated on the Maximum Age column on that table, and records the result, which the player does not know. A character who reaches his or her maximum age dies of old age at some time during the following year.
 
The maximum ages are for player characters. Most people in the world at large die from pestilence, accidents, infections, or violence before getting to venerable age.
 
* At middle age, -1 to Str, Dex, and Con; +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.
* At old age, -2 to Str, Dex, and Con; +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.
* At venerable age, -3 to Str, Dex, and Con; +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.
 
== Weight ==
 
The dice roll given in the Height Modifier column determines the character’s extra height beyond the base height. That same number multiplied by the dice roll or quantity given in the Weight Modifier column determines the character’s extra weight beyond the base weight.
 
These are just suggestions, and serve as examples that can be applied to other races. Please consult your DM when designating a custom weight and height for a race.

Age and Aging

With age, a character’s physical ability scores decrease and his or her mental ability scores increase (see Table: Aging Effects). The effects of each aging step are cumulative. However, none of a character’s ability scores can be reduced below 1 in this way.

When a character reaches venerable age, secretly roll his or her maximum age, which is the number from the Venerable column on that Race's page, plus the result of the dice roll indicated on the Maximum Age column on that table, and records the result, which the player does not know. A character who reaches his or her maximum age dies of old age at some time during the following year.

The maximum ages are for player characters. Most people in the world at large die from pestilence, accidents, infections, or violence before getting to venerable age.

  • At middle age, -1 to Str, Dex, and Con; +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.
  • At old age, -2 to Str, Dex, and Con; +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.
  • At venerable age, -3 to Str, Dex, and Con; +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.

Weight

The dice roll given in the Height Modifier column determines the character’s extra height beyond the base height. That same number multiplied by the dice roll or quantity given in the Weight Modifier column determines the character’s extra weight beyond the base weight.

These are just suggestions, and serve as examples that can be applied to other races. Please consult your DM when designating a custom weight and height for a race.
