I always read it as they didn't stack, only physical got worse. If it is the former, then Dragonwrought seems much better now. Dan

It says so right under the table if I remember correctly, let me check. Page 109 of the PHB in the left column it states they are. "The effects of each aging step are cumulative. However, none of a character's ability scores can be reduced below 1 in this way."

TheYeti1775 03-13-07, 02:37 PM	Definitely don't feel silly. I had to consult that chart twice in the last few months. Not including this time for you. When you get reincarnated you can change age categories quite quickly.:D

Dan silly is a puddy. and the puddy does age. getting crusty and more intelegent with each passing day. and soon the puddy will turn into a ball of crust that is so intelegent that the world will have to give into its sillyness.:P
