Optional: Effect on Attributes

The grey-highlighted part of the table offers an optional addition. Without it, being older is purely a benefit. If you use the
modifiers mentioned, it will have the following effects:

• Strength is at one’s peak during their physical prime.

• Dexterity lessens over time, as one gets older and more stiff.
• Willpower increases, as the mind fortifies itself over a long life.
