Bring back Age DR proper - Volatile - 04-04-2020
Bring back age DR. As it is now, it's silly. If you're young, your body isn't fully developed. And thus you shouldn't be able to fight on level with those older than you. If not -10% DR for every year under 18, then -5% AP and DR every year. Or something like that. It makes no sense that a 13 year old child should be able to fight on par with an 21 year old whose body had the time to properly develop
Also old people should get increasingly weaker with age. Because that just happens. It was fine as it was. The mechanic enforced the idea that newer characters could be somewhat relevant in time. As older, stronger characters got well, older. It allowed for the cycle to continue!

But what about the Shounen RP? You can't go Full Cowling on a motherfucker if you have like -30% DR.

I've not really got a problem with the old age DR, but I actually agree that its a relatively shitty feeling to be a competent adult character stomped by a twelve year old who had a decent rebirth and a tendency to grind. Just my cent and a half.

I feel it should definitely be more than 10%, especially now that RPL gains are effectively stalling out in the 150 range. I'd move for 20-25% DR penalty, but I agree that 50% at 13 just felt SHIT since you basically can't verb without exploding.
