In the campaign I'm in right now our GM has been throwing us up against alot of undead that when they hit do age damage to us. Most of the party has aged at least one age category and 2 have aged 2 categories. Considering half the party are Dwarves that's alot of age damage. Right now we have no way to protect from it that we know of. So any idea's of how we might be able to protect from it would be great, as well as any idea's of how we can restore ourselfs to our normal age or close to it. I know that in Ultamit Magic there is the Age Resistance spell. But right now our GM wont give us access to the spells. So please any help or thoughts you can come up with would be helpful.
Wish is the only thing I know of that might actually reverse the effects of aging. Your GM's homebrew undead has screwed you.
If it's premature aging due to a drain or other magical effect, I'd allow restoration to fix it, if it doesn't already...
Yeah we know that our GM pretty much screwed us. He hasn't ruled on if Death Ward will block it or not yet.
Yeah, unless the GM is a real douchebag, he either has a story element that will cure the condition or else it is only temporary.
You need anti-ageing cream.

No such thing...Mrs Spacelard uses it and she still has the hide of a dinosaurs sac...
Perhaps rubbing Spacelard on her would work better...

Then you get your money back. They have this promotion. "Gets rid of dinosac hide or your money back"
Ask your GM straight up. He's changed the rules to add something that there is no defense to, so ask if he added something to fix it. I agree that the restoration line of spells should be the spells to do it. You might want to start a side quest to search for the age resistance spells if he's not giving you free access to them. The fact that he's using aging monsters without a way to fix it is not fun, see if he has a plan. If not just retire halfway though the adventure and tell those young wippersnappers to get off your lawn.
Also, remind your DM that the haste spell ages you a year.
Or get a dragon cohort.
I can't remember exactly what it was called but I seem to recall a spell that prevented aging. I think it is from the UM book. There might be an elixir of youth but I may be remembering it from earlier editions.
I think having restoration or greater be a good cure for magical aging.
Ultimate Magic contains a bunch of spells that reverse the negative effects of aging.

Otherwise, I would say, this is a real bonus for you. Let yourselves hit venerable and then reincarnate and keep the age bonus to your mental stats while losing the age penalty to physical stats.
Actually not true, magical age damage does not grant you the mental bonuses that come with aging, just the negative effects. The mental bonuses from aging come from experience gained over one's life time. There is precedence for this from many spells that age their targets if only temporary.
It helps if you link spell vs saying there are a bunch. All I can find are the Youthful Appearance and Age Resistance spells, not a spell that rolls back time on the body.
I would not give the mental bonuses to age, as you have not lived throught that time and had the life experiences to gain those benefits.
Again, can you link to these spells? All I have been able to find is the Alchemist's Grand Discovery Eternal Youth
I am playing a Fighter in an upcoming Kingmaker Campaign, so I need my Strength.

Make use of the ingame character resources to gain this information: Knowledge checks to gain information about protection, restoration, and or remediation of the aging. Use the information about rules resources gained through this thread to provide information about possible replies to the GM, and realize that he may not see eye to eye about whether there "must" be a solution.
It has the making of strong character driven motivation to find an answer and would probably make for a more organic plot than whatever the "fight the nasty, retrieve the McGuffin of Doom" plot line that makes up most FRPG plot lines. :)
I do not think that going to the forums to ask how to beat whatever your GMs game is going to help much. The GM will eventually restore your age, most likely, possibly using it as another adventure hook, just play the game and don't worry.
*You might try commune to ask your GM indirectly in game for a hint of a cure
