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!
