Greetings,

Reading some posts from late august, concerning the 3e conversion of the
Gorgon, a new idea suddenly struck me.

It`s a well-known fact that being an awnshegh (or ehrshegh) involves some
kind of trade-off for all the powers that you get, right? Now what if the
trade-off of having Longevity (or Long Life or whatever its called) is that
you suffer a penalty to XP accumulation? The better the Longevity, the
higher the penalty.

It seems to me this would be a great way of explaining why such 1500 year
old figures as Rhuobhe and the Gorgon have not exceeded 40th level and such.

Also, I`m wondering: from what I know of FR, the Chosen of Mystra in
general, and Elminster in particular, have been around for quite a while
now. What`s FR`s explanation for them not having over 40 level? Do they have
any rationalization for it at all? Does anyone know? Maybe someone can also
put this into better perspective by telling me how old exactly Elminster and
friends are?

"Elminster" - what kinda first name`s that, anyways? Sounds like a smelly
cheese to me or something.

Cheers,

- the Falcon
