How to best utilize a druid's "Timeless Body" ability - aging mid campaign

[Qayinisorouse]

Playing a Druid for the first time i'm going over his abilities, and this one strikes me as one of those "if you don't use it, its a huge waste"

as a Synth Summoner i saw a player gain an incredible amount of ability points using an very old character.

the issue is, i need to reach level 15 first (this campaign is till 20) and i'd be a fool not to use this, but i can't find ANY way to make my character age permanently, how would i do it?

thanks!

P.S
i know this is slightly cheese, but otherwise this ability is wasted.

Are we role-playing anymore when achieving immortality/eternal youth is considered a "wasted" ability? Not like you lose anything for gaining it.

i meant, since you do die of old age (says so in the text) the only way to "get something" out of this ability (description: "a druid no longer takes ability score penalties for aging")is if you age AFTER getting it, right? and if there is no way to do that, than this ability is useless (cannot be used)

I would argue that it is situationaly useful. The spell prevents magic aging which means any spell effect, curse or random wierdness that would cause you to shrivel and become and old person prematurely becomes useless on you.since most those would only give you the penalties of aging and not the bonuses that's a good thing. It's also a flavorful RP thing great for long form campaigns that take place over the course of decades and such.

That's cool!

i'd like to mention that my last 2 characters were insane blasters, one of the reasons i chose Druid is because my DM assured me it is not easy to make it OP/imbalanced, which means more fun for my other party memebers, letting them destroy enemies.

Arguably it lets you use threefold aspect without penalty, maybe.
