1. "RE: whats average character age??"
I don't recall age ever becoming a factor .. either they weren't very old or it did not matter (though I think it was more likely the former ... I don't recall ever thinking of my characters as 'old', which at the time would have been anything over 30-35 )

I thought that in one of the Wizardry games a PC would lose vitality points after a certain age.

Or was that a dream....

5. "Dream or nightmare ..."
I think that was back in the Wiz 1-2-3 series (but didn't kick in until you were really over the hill ... like 50 ).

7. "RE: Dream or nightmare ..."
Don't forget, those amulets of vitality help that aging problem. ;) I remember starting with a fairie that had a candle about as tall as a dime on its side. 1 vitality amulet later, she had a tall candle (either that or it burned out and re-started at about that time...). However, I've never seen age effect anyone detrimentally, and definitely never dying of old age.

8. "RE: Dream or nightmare ..."
Actually, I believe the candle height is solely a factor of vitality. Your fairie's candle was low, probably because you had just changed her class (reducing her vitality to the race/class minimum). Try it some time: buy a bunch of the ankhs from the Helazoid and see how your candle grows as you "equip" and "invoke" them.

9. "Age"
I forget what it may have been caused by but I know I've seen my Vitality dropping down on characters in 7 before. They were getting way up there at the time. If we could sleep characters into their hundreds, that may solve the question.

10. "RE: Age"
Hmm,I wouldn't rely on my memory on this, as this was from over a decade ago, but I seem to remember my brother manipulating the data so that the candle was almost nonexistent in length. The character's vitality was 20 (which you can accomplish courtesy of Helazoid Ankhs), and the character's age was 130. It doesn't matter, you can easily avoid any potential old-age death by buying or stealing Ankhs of Youth from Dame Ke-Li in City of Sky.
