This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

when a pc ages, it gets penalties to physical stats and bonuses for mental stats.

what are the penalties for being an adolescent or child?
at the moment of sacrifice let no blood be spilled!

I am not aware of them being listed anywhere.

If I had to low stat someone, I would reduce wisdom first, then probably strength for teenagers.
Charisma could be reduced as well.

Age16-18 -1 Wis -1 Str -1Cha
Age13-15 -2 Wis -2 Str -1 Int -2Cha
Age9-12 -4 Wis -4 Str -4 Int -2Cha
and so on if you really want stats for kids

Not completely happy with those penalities, but there you go.

d20Modern gives children (up to 11 years old) -3 to Str and Con and -1 to all the others. At 12 and up, no modifiers.
