Just reading the stone to flesh thread, and I was wondering, if someone is turned to stone, then years later someone reverses the spell, have they aged at all?
If not it might be interesting to have a statue of some old hero, who dissapeared, as part of a fountain, or some other town square decoration, which is actually the petrified hero, and no one has considered the possibility.

Well, Im guessing being turned to stone would rather stop any biological aging, so yeah, that'd be a really cool idea, system shock rolls pending of course

I'm pretty sure you don't age while stoned.

For what it's worth I'd say if you get a piece chipped off of you while you're stoned, that piece is missing (and you take damage from the wound) when you get turned back into flesh.

I'd say if you've taken major damage, such as having your head knocked off, well, you die whenever you get turned back into flesh unless someone finds the missing piece (or pieces) and restores them back in some seamless fashion prior to turning you back to flesh.
