Eternal Youth within the rules (nothing to do with my middle age crisis).

[Invictus Spartan]

Hello again everyone.

I'll keep it simple: I don't want to age. Dying is fine, Pharasma will have me eventually, but until then...

I'm aware of Druid Timeless Nature and the Monk Timeless Body. But do they still have that rule of "still die of old age when the time comes"?

Also, any other way to reach It? I want a Charisma focused, preferably non-undead, ageless kinda guy.

Also, I'm okay with ageless races, like the Android and the Bleachling Gnome, but we don't have rules for them yet... Do we?

Thanks in advance!

1. As far as I can tell, nope. You just stop aging, full stop. I guess they didn't include that because it can fall into more specific game territory, so if your GM's cool with it, you should be good.

2. Not that I know of. Wizards and sorcerers don't have the "I'm immortal" feat/option they eventually got in PF1E, though, that could just be a matter of time. I suppose there is always the Sun Orchid Elixir for an indirect route.

3. We do have rules for Androids, thanks to Ancestry Guide, though it should be noted they aren't actually ageless. Or rather, the person isn't. The body is, effectively, since it shuts down and reconstructs itself back to full functionality, but the soul housed inside moves on and is replaced by a new one.

Androids are in LOAG.

There’s always the Sun Orchid elixir, detailed in LOWG.

Play a leshy: "As spirits, they do not age, and a leshy could potentially remain in the same vessel forever".

I wonder if soul bound shell will make a comeback in secrets of magic and how would it interact with the spell substitution thesis?

"See that towering redwood? Now, see that smily potato with legs? Guess which is older. Go on, you'll be wrong."

While we don't yet have a heritage for Bleachling, the standard rules for Gnome does say that they can live indefinitely. Typical age is only 400 years, but theoretically there is no maximum.

Thanks all for the answers. I read Leshy and it didn't quite "hit the spot" for me, but they're nice. They're just a bit too alien for me.

Being a "normal" Gnome that may live forever (and may not) also isn't the certainty that I have in mind, plus Gnomes in general are too hectic for me. I like peace and calm.

Guess I'll be doing a Timeless Body Monk for the moment and just wait and see if they'll make other options on other books. Thank you all again for your input.

Androids don't age, they just look more artificial as time goes on. At around 100 years old, most androids 'shut down' and let a new soul inhabit the body, and while shut down their nanites repair the android to a new, blank state. It's seen as their own form of childbirth, in a way.

I plan to make an android who is so dedicated to his cause he refuses to let go, and is very artificial looking. Other androids see them as a bit of an abomination, but they beleive their cause too important to let go, becoming a vigilante who always wears a mask and hides his exposed machinery.

you could go to the astral plane but you would age everything you didn't when you leave, maybe you could burlate the aging affect by petrifying yourself then leaving the astral plane and having someone turn you back afterwards or using the imprisonment ritual to lock yourself in a jar, whether or not that works will require a friendly gm

other than that a "unending youth" contract could do the job if you could trick or force a devil to give it to you without evil or drawbacks

the best we can hope is that secrets of magic will add a timeless feat to the wizard or sorcerer
