I've been reviewing character generation, in preparation for "recreating" one of my characters in T5 - Dalthor Et Magera. I'll be posting the complete process, rationale, and history in a different thread. It'll be specific to my campaign - see the link in my sig if you want a bit more detail.
Looking at the aging tables, them seem a bit "dated" to me. Considering the technology and history of the Imperium, and looking at our current society, I have updated the life stages for my campaign.
This reflects what I see today, plus some fudging based on what I think is the minimum that would be available in the far future.
I'm also including the aging table I use IMTU for the Varans, my sophont race. If you scanned the Mikhail sector, and read Varan history, the table below reflects the aging benefits of the Winnowing.
Do y'all feel that these would be logical updates to aging, based on what you'd expect to see in the Traveller universe?
