Yep, that's what it says. If that is the case, then that is a rule I'm deep sixing. The extreme reductions in STR or DEX likely nobble move rate before the other penalty is applied, and I'm against double-dipping on either side of the GM screen. I hate having to toss rules I've paid for. Oh well. Thanks for replying.

When building a character of advanced years, the instructions are clear on what penalties to apply to Characteristics and Move Rate. It also seems that there's a double whammy in the build for older characters: the move rate gets clobbered twice, once by the age factor and once by potential reductions in DEX and STR. However, when aging in-game, do the same rules apply? Thanks. I have to say that this process seems excessively ageist to this long-time GM, especially given the typical age of the players I'm seeing in NY. Did the playtests take place only on college campuses? 😀😄😀

Ah, that would explain it. Must've failed an INT check without noticing.

I dunno if there's a better place to report this stuff, but I haven't found one after searching. Just downloaded the 7th ed character sheets, trying to fill in the color 1920s sheet for one of my players, and noticed the following: 1) No "Operate Heavy Machinery" skill printed on sheet (can be worked around of course). 2) Cannot fill in brawl skill (form field not there).
