Age Effects (Game mechanics idea)


Here’s one for you DM’s that want associated effects & stat changes based around ages.

Age plays an important role in a person's life, as they grow & develop so does their stats, & as the grow old & wise so does their stats as well. This game mechanic is here to help try & represent how aging/persons age affects a person’s stats. Please note that we will be using terms that discus times of development in a person’s life, due to the fact that D&D has a wide range of lifespans for a multitude of creatures.

New Born (anything before learning to crawl): -10 to every stat but +6 to charisma

Early childhood (between learning to crawl & learning to speak): -8 to every stat but +4 to charisma

Middle childhood (Between learning to speak & learning morals): -4 to every stat but +2 to charisma

Late childhood (between learning morals & before puberty): -1 to every stat but +1 to charisma

Teenhood: (Between the beginning & end of puberty/physical development) +2 to Strength, dexterity, & constitution, -2 to wisdom

Adulthood: (Between end of puberty & last 40% of predicted life): No effect

Post-Midlife: (Between last 40% of predicted life & last 10% of predicted life) -1 to strength, dex & con, +1 wisdom, & intelligence.

Elderlyhood: ( last 10% of predicted life to 10% over predicted life): +3 to wisdom & +1 intelligence, -2 to straight, dex, & con.

Ancient hood: (Between over 10% of predicted life to over 50% over predicted life): +5 wisdom  & +3 intelligence, -4 to strength,dex & con.

Long longevity/eternal hood: ( Over 50% over predicted life till death): +10 wisdom, +5 intelligence, -8 to strength, dex & con.

{Special Circumstances Ages}
Post Death (death/after-death): No hp, ac, can’t attack, can’t take/deal physical damage, stats are the same as just before death, but strength is 1.  


Resurrection from death (Resurrected from death): Retains stats from pre-death.

De-aged: (Physical age has been pushed back): Retains gains of wisdom & intelligence, get’s the Str/dex/con/cha of current body age

non-aging: (Doesn't age): Base age benefits of the general mean of world’s ages, gain the gains & ignores the weaknesses

Flumph's Guide to Food (treasure idea)

Here's one for you DM's that want a treasure that is useless to most & valued by fue Description: It's a cook book that goes over all the best flumph meals, & would make for a great item idea.

Backstory: This cook book was made by a flumph who was creatively named flumph. It took many years to make & has a majority of all flumphs favorite recipes on it.
