| {{:abilities:old_age.png?nolink }} **Age** is, in a gameplay sense, how many "Midwinters" a unit's body has seen. The first Midwinter in a game is Turn 10, the second is Turn 22, the third is Turn 34, and so on. Winter marks the passage of time for a fellow, being a period of "unnatural" coldness. | {{:abilities:old_age.png?nolink }} **Age** is, in a gameplay sense, how many "Midwinters" a unit's body has seen.

| Age matters most for those who are **Old**, of course. There isn't really a bonus for being young, but there is a penalty for being old. Every body has a "maximum age", however many years they can last before their warranty voids and they start to have problems. For most humans, this is 50. For most [[Undead]], this is 500. For [[Pretender God|Pretender Gods]], this is 1000 for the mages, 2500 for the titans and monsters, and 5000 for [[Inanimate|idols]]. | Age matters most for those who are **Old**, of course.

| As you can see, cumulative aging bears diminishing problems, at least in this sense. the seven different levels have points to them, ranging from 0 to 6; let's call the point value of a unit's oldness "D". | As you can see, cumulative aging bears diminishing problems, at least in this sense.

| Just for an example, an **Old** human with a max age of 50 within has a 15% chance to run into problems each year, if they're within {{scales>G0}}; roughly a 5% chance to be Diseased, roughly a 7.5% chance to get some sort of minor affliction, and roughly a 2.5% chance to get some sort of major affliction (such as Feebleminded). If the unit is already Diseased, there's an 11.25% chance for a minor affliction and a 3.75% chance for a major affliction.

| {{:dom6:stats:mr.png?nolink }} Each round, a Decaying unit has a 1% chance to get a chance to throw off the magic on them. If they win a [[DRN]] check with their [[Magic Resistance]] vs. **15**, they stop aging so rapidly. | {{:dom6:stats:mr.png?nolink }} Each round, a Decaying unit has a 1% chance to get a chance to throw off the magic on them.

| If the unit never manages to bust out, Decay persists for a maximum of **100** rounds. This includes rounds after the battle is won, or after the unit [[rout|leaves the battlefield]]. It is assumed that [[Twilight]] also ends Decay, though the writer of this page hasn't tested this yet. | If the unit never manages to bust out, Decay persists for a maximum of **100** rounds.
