There is already precedent for stats being lowered for age or atrophy. |
But Mon Mothma is not a PC. NPC stats don't follow any system. NPC stats are just created by RPG authors and GMs and should be whatever the GM thinks they should be at any given point in time.

Well summarized.

Most of the other thread focused on atrophy of skills for normal aged characters rather than attribute or skill changes due to aging. That's what I was responding to. Unless one is running a generational campaign, I don't see the point in age related atrophy.

I might see it cropping up in a Clone campaign. Or if the characters are unnaturally aged somehow. If my own campaign, there is a virus the Seperatits are working on that targets the age acclerating process in clones and puts in into overdrive.
But, in most cases, characters don7t age fast enough for aging penatlies to crop up. |
