Term: Age
The Age of a creature or object, often recorded in years or longer periods of time. Ancestries all list relative ages and how fast said characters can reach adulthood, or the average age of non-adventurous, non-altered folk of the same kind.
For Adventurers (i.e. Potential Players), There aren’t any mechanical adjustments to a character fr being particularly old by default, but An Optional Rule can make this more crunchy and mechanical if desired. Otherwise, particularly young characters can change the tone of some of the game’s threats. To that end, it is recommended not to make a character younger than adulthood, both aesthetically and internally.
