Reverse Aging

Post by trechriron »

So, you're poor cleric is slammed by a ghost a few times and ages from the young age of 16 to a venerable 76! The party wants to find a way to reverse the effects. I've been browsing my library and come up with a Moonstone in Crusader's Companion that is in the recipe section for magic items. Nothing else listed.

Any spells or magic items suggested?

Potion of Rejuvenation has been one source to restore years. Reverse of the Age spell is another. Elixir of the Philosopher Stone could do it as well. Off the top of my head.

There were two potions in 1E AD&D for this need. Elixir of Youth and Potion of Longevity.

Plus, you could always have them go in search of a magical fountain...
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

In theory, and up to interpretation, the spell shapechange.

And of course wish and its ilk.

Age Restoration, 4th lvl cleric spell, page 7, Domesday Issue VII. Get it at the Knight of the Crusade website!

Let me know what you think of the spell and the Ghost Dragon that made it necessary!

I just crushed several 13th lvl PCs (roll testing Avatar and Archer).

Any Polymorph effect that becomes permanent would also change your age.

Please tell me you've all downloaded the Domesday... and let me know what you think of it please, not just for this one spell. The Ghost Dragon is a great dragon, base on its one use.. I would add d8 "death touch" damage for claws and 2d8 for "bite" on top of aging though...
