Oh. I think I see what you mean now. ITL says "you may assume a character is 20 years of age" when starting. The key words there are "may assume".

You "may also" randomly determine starting age if you want. Something like "18 + 1d6". Of course, all of this assumes they are human...

This leads back to my position that just because they all start with 10 points of skills doesn't mean they have to all be the same age.
