More of Steve's stoopid questions...
Character A is a mythic companion, specifically, a Nephilim. A is 160 years old, and A's player is dreading the prospect of that first aging roll...
Are aging rolls modified the same as they are for human characters? As in, do they add age/10 to their rolls? Supernatural methods obviously do not apply, but do the natural ones apply? If Age/10 is added, then your first aging roll is made at +11 (160/10 - 5)... If not, this is a somewhat better deal...
Assuming Age/10 gets added, with a minimum roll of 2, A gains one full point of decreptitude, and has a crisis of some sort... Also, all crisis are going to be starting at 17 and up... I will assume that Greater Immunity to disease negates the effect of the Illness, but the crisis requires the bed rest...
A's Player rolls, and gets the minimum result - 1 Decrepitude point and a terminal aging crisis... A season later, somewhat weakened, "A" returns to the world...And struggles to learn anything.
IF the above holds true, then every Nephilim Mythic companion will go from normal advancement, to 1 xp a season at year 161. Is the age/10 subtraction a typo? That's not increasingly difficult, that's like having a door slammed in your face... Was it supposed to be Decrepitude? That, to me, is "increasingly" difficult.
IF the above does not hold true, and Nephilim get a flat -5, regardless of age, to their aging rolls, then the above ranting is moot, because that stress die would have to roll better than 14 (or higher) to add aging points...
Help?
