Does ceasing aging means you don't have to worry about dying of old age anymore?


Rules Discussion


Currently experimenting with character creation and interested in the monk class for its excellent combination of mobility and melee damage, with skills on the side to become a self-sufficient survivalist.

Timeless Body fits the survivalist theme for the most part, and I wonder about the "you cease aging" part: does it mean that my character can live forever as long as nothing bad happens?

Silver Crusade

Yep. It would still call out if you died when you “naturally” were supposed to.


I see. I was wondering mostly because of how it worked in 3.5 D&D: it removes ability penalties from aging but doesn't prevent dying of old age.

Silver Crusade

Yep, that’s what i was referring to. If it doesn’t say you die of old age then you don’t.


Removing the ability penalties from aging but "insisting you still die when you're supposed to" is probably not meaningfully different from "you will never die from aging" since high level hero types tend not to just sunset gracefully anyway.
