It's about a general D&D rule, not Faerūn. As you know, there are static bonuses (and penalties) for aging characters. Strength, Dexterity and Constitution suffer penalties while Wisdom, Intelligence and Charisma recieve a bonus. I've always thought that this bonus was because as the character grows older, he gets more experience, and therefore he is more wise. The question is about artificial means for immortality (this is my favourite subject :P). If you become immortal at an advanced age, it doesn“t really matter. But what if you become an undead, like a lich? If you're dead, you do not get older, so physical penalties should not take place. But social bonuses do not apply for physical reasons, they're applied because you get older and have more experience. So, assuming this, an intelligent undead would likely have bonuses for aging and no penalties; but it's quite unfair for the living. What should I do? What's your opinion?
