08-20-07, 02:45 AM I'm going on a gaming hiatus and when I came back, for my own various reasons, I wanted my spellcaster to be slightly, well, older.

Is there a spell or some sort of magical item out there that could be abused to this end, or would it require a little creativity on my part to go outside the books?

08-20-07, 03:10 AM I think I figured it out. I'll have my adventuring take me onto another plane, where time flows slightly different.

The apparent time on the material plane will be whatever amount ends up passing during their play, while I'll experience a couple of decades worth on my non (read not) material plane.

Now I just need to figure out what awesome adventuring hook would drive me away from home, and onto another plane, for 20 or 30 years..

08-20-07, 09:20 AM There are spells and effects that age you physically, but you only take the physical penalties and don't gain the mental increases (no actual experience).

Plane-hopping is probably best, or just start play as an older fellow if you are allowed to.
