Wisdom from the Wastelands #10: Age Charts 2

[outlander]

The age chart is a powerful tool for Mutant Lords who
want to scale monster encounters with the powers and
artifacts of the player characters. These charts
describe how a creature’s characteristics change over
its lifespan, using three columns: the age of the
creature, its hit dice, and notes. Notes might
include damage, mutations, drawbacks, or anything
else that affects the creature in and out of combat.

Though the first Age Charts article (Wisdom from the
Wastelands, issue #2) introduced the basic idea and
structure, there are still plenty of other
possibilities that go far beyond that starting point.
This issue presents example charts for creatures that
weaken during the last stages of life, giant
creatures (kaiju), plants, and truly odd creatures
that go through metamorphoses as they age.

Wisdom from the Wastelands is dedicated to providing
useful information, game content, and ideas to
players of modern, science fiction, and
post-apocalyptic table-top and role-playing games in
general and to fans of Goblinoid Games’ Mutant Future
RPG in particular. The material it contains are
compatible with it and any others that use the
"Basic" system introduced in the most popular
role-playing games of the early 1970s and are easily
adaptable to many other games (especially successor
systems, to include those covered by the Open Game
License).

Our goal is to release a new thematic issue of this
publication just about every week and to have it
contain a variety of useful and earnest content that
will inspire Game Masters and players alike and
provide them with things that they can immediately
plug into their games. We very much hope you will
find this and subsequent issues of the Wisdom from
the Wastelands to be useful and enjoyable!
