Some Old Age Tests

[Uh-Nu-Buh]

Actually, it would also be interesting to see:

--mage with 1f1n
--mage with 1f1d
--mage with 2f1n
--mage with 2f1d
--mage with 2f2n
--mage with 2f2d
etc....

Is there any way all this data could be added to the wiki, or to a web page for future reference?

Just curious -- an expensive feebleminded mage can be even worse than a dead one, if you don't have a ready means of healing.

Maybe old age affliction chance is proportional to
({current age}-{beginning of old age})/{beginning of old age}?

[Folket]

Calmon, that last test was interesting. Can you do the same with death 3 and growth 3?

[Endoperez]

The initial rate of old age afflictions is based on maxage and maxage only. Maxage is the start of the old age.
Every pick of Death magic gives a chance of preventing an old age affliction, and I understand high-enough Death makes you immune to old age afflictions.
Rejuvenation, or the ability to heal your own afflictions, migth help prevent afflictions, or it might just increase maxage; I'm not sure.


EDIT: Just to be sure, I requested magicless Crones to be tested because they are always old, and have maxage 500.

We know that Death reduces chance of getting affliction, but I think the impact of Fire and Nature is purely on the maxage. The impact of Nature is much greater, each point increases maxage by 50% of its original value, whereas each point of Fire reduces maxage by 5. I doubt, but have no evidence, that Nature and Fire impact the chance of affliction once you are old.

Fire lowers maxage by 2 for humans (with maxage 50). I think someone has mentioned it lowers maxage by 5 for longer-lived beings. I think Nature always increases maxage by 25 per pick.
