Guidelines:  Skill Points by Age

This game aid presents a handy alternative for awarding development points during character generation in the MYTHRAS gaming system. Older characters receive more bonus points in the rules as written, but the progression is not smooth, and does not address certain questions. In a more finely grained system, exactly how many bonus points does a character receive at any particular age? Suppose that a character takes a long break from adventuring and then returns; how many bonus points should be awarded for the intervening span of "regular life"? How many bonus points would an unusually old character receive, beyond the tabulated ages in the rules? This supplement offers a systematic, analytical approach to answering those questions.

To be clear, Skill Points by Age has been crafted specifically for the MYTHRAS gaming system. Any compatibility with other systems is fortuitous. You may find some inspiration here, though.

You are free to use this material in your own game world, for fun. If you are interested in doing more than that, such as incorporating it into a scenario or campaign setting for publication, please contact us.

Skill Points by Age is offered as Pay What You Want. If you like it, please consider leaving a tip, but in any case it's yours for the taking. Happy gaming!
