The aging "system"

I'm happy as long as the heart failure rate is factored into the cost. Hey, do women live a bit longer?

What about your pretender? If your pretender ages, well...

Do aged mages have a higher chance of recieveing a "Broken Hip" afflicition?

And will you get a nice message in the message window saying "Ferdinand the astrologer has slipped and fell in the tub and broken his hip. Unfortunately, a treatment for broken hips has not been invented at the time, and so Ferdinand will be afflicted forever"?

They don't, but it was a fun idea. Could compensate the fact that women generally has slightly lower physical stats (str 9) in the game

Yep, but they have lifespans of several hunderd or thousand years, so it is rarely a matter on their part.

In dom3 that would be 'crippled' I suppose. I believe old guys can get crippled dua to ageing, although the chance might be slim.

There's no chance of your mages growing in magical power as they age, is there?

Actually this is a good question! It would make sense, if the mages would gain some random powers as they age.

It is called empowerment and cost gems

Generally a game doesn't last more than a couple of years (unless someone casts Burden of Time).
