Re: \"Old Age\" system in Dom3 - need some info
Late Winter is the time old chaps do their rolls on the aging tables. 'Been that way since the days of the Pendragon RPG ;-)
This might change in a future patch to monthly rolls, though.
Nature magic moves the 'old age' threshold up (that number in paranthesis, as dirtywick already mentioned), Fire magic moves it down to smaller numbers.
Death magic is said to keep you from getting afflictions.
There seem to be 'aging levels', which give increasing negative modifiers. These levels seem to depend on the proportion of 'real age' to 'aging threshold'.
There are magical means to escape old age, but you have to figure them out yourself.
We had quite some discussion about the aging system during the beta test, but the devs never came forth with (numerical) details, therefore I would say the more exact working of it is kept in secret in purpose.
