But I don't. Specifically because as far as I could tell you were trying to permanently kill my character with aging withers and then were a complete douche after you died.

Constructively, don't threaten people as a ghost. Especially not the person who just made you one...

I think one character ever got hit hard by it. You essentially need to eat a lot of attempts with near zero saves and still play 400+ hours. By and large few chars reach old age and most who fight shaman a lot gear for saves.

Right, Orb?

Orcs are somewhat vulnerable to wither aging. Low Wis translating to tougher saves, and a particularly short lifespan in pure years. I've lost an orc to it, myself, and could pull out a few more names as well.

I still maintain the ageing component should be removed.

Potential for - 25 str is enough. The potentially permanent lasting impact over the top that lasts your entire play time is not needed.

From a use point of view and I cant comment cause I didnt see the use. Tactically I would use wither all the time to cause when you land a good one not many people are keeping weapons.

But it only affects people who play to age death, so who cares.

Because I always perceive it as "trying to agedie me, asshole?"

Isnt the edge which adds -Dex & removes ageing pretty much every shaman now?

I've seen the ageing echo more than once and it certainly didn't add positive emotions Looking back I'm pretty sure it added to my perception of Deldrach for example.

Languor of the aeons.

Mid/highish cost edge. Worth it iirc. Whoever had that due rear scarab & muuuuuuuuuksube & a few others of note took it

Booooo urns.....
