As per basic you will start making aging rolls at age 50 which will tehn be increased at 70 and 90. The aging rolls will steadyly bring all kind of suckiness up to death to your characters.
nevertheless characters are not given any points bakc for starting their game lets say 49 years or 69 years old vs someone starting at 25 years old.!!
If I am planning acampaign that will have a lot of "downtime"(prepare your time use sheets :D) and will last tens of in game years I really think that starting near to the treshold of aging rolls is a significant disadvantage.
How would you price it?
Maybe eyeball it somehow and compare it with the short lifespan disadvantage?
