Ok so maybe the hours don't change but if a character is AGED shouldn't the age indicator young, mature, middle-aged, old, etc reflect that? I guess that's what we aren't understanding? I know when my arial age died I was only Mature.
So Wither is the grand balancer of no save vs spell vs damage? Not sleep, plague, and a million other maledicting spells and communes or damaging spells? Just seems pretty lame having a power that specifically ####s over non-throw away characters. Also with Skryth I wasn't pure damage, in fact because I had to fight so many imperial shamans I started gearing for saves and strength alot more so I wouldn't keep dropping my weapons. But when you are forced to fight shamans all the time and all they do is spam wither, even with good saves as an arial your basically screwed. So what do I do then, throw my roleplay out the window and say as Harbinger I'm not going to raid because the imperial shamans keep spammin wither on me or have a character I put tons of effort in die at 169 hours or so?

P.S. I'll stop brining it up, but until it's happened to you I don't think you'll get how fustrating it is.

That which does not kill us,
makes us stronger.
