I appologize up front for this, but I can't see how you derive your thoughts. Your entire stance is if nothing less than onesided and insulting. Just for starts. 20 con = 51 deaths(+/-) compared to 60-65yrs age death = 5-10 age withers. You have to kill someone nearly ten times to be as effective as each age wither. Now I know there are alot of different factors, and this life expectancy might be shorter or the shortest.

Comparitively you are way off. Your entire thought of wither being defensive in this way is rediculous. If you want to be a shaman and not be assassinated, try being more aware or perhaps try a duergar. But don't ruin entire races out of fear. Age wither brings nothing to the game. It destroyed all the time and effort I gave to the game in developing my character, training my character, and attempting to establisth RP. Player effort pissed away makes it hard to consider this a game worth the effort. Just my view.

I appreciate the overwhelming effort made to keep this game going. I spend a great deal of time here in this little world. Thanks again.
