Interesting, I didn’t know aging used to be a mechanic in dnd. I will definitely read into that.
Maybe dial it down somewhat to something that will trigger, but not as often.
That’s a really good point. Maybe a dc4 or 5? 20-25% chance.
Also having to roll another check and d4 damage sounds like it would add a lot of time to his turns.
I wasn’t going to add another check, more if he missed an attack. That being said I didn’t take this into account, I don’t want him hogging time for sure. Maybe he loses at turn if he misses an attack. Resistance to mental attacks sounds like a good idea too.
Thank you for your feedback, I will definitely take it into account


This is a great idea, I had thought about him having lower health but didn’t think of how to do that mechanically.
I had the idea that after getting married, he definitely became more sedentary. Thematically, I planned on him burying his sword and armor in the back yard and eventually starting a garden to ‘stay close to his roots’ pun intended. Mildly active, but definitely not fighting shape.
Someone else suggested something similar and might be the right way to approach it. I definitely will look into this.
Thanks for your input
