Make age a bit more useful that it currently is.
con/dex/str should peak at young/middleaged and wis/int should peak at
middle/old age
Also caster types should rock more when middle/old age and fighter types
should rock more when young/middle aged.

This would have the side effect of shortening all player's lifespans. A tank
would effectively have to reinc at middle aged, and a caster would have to
die/age until middle aged, if they wanted to minmax their stats (and let's
face it, thats what just about everyone does). Some races are short-lived
enough already.

I fail to see how that's a bad thing. If someone wants to minimax their stats,
it seems fair that they should have to pay an age penalty. If someone wishies
to minimax their age, a stats penalty seems appropriate as well.
If a race seems to be too short lived, then perhaps their lifespan should be
expanded, whether or not this is implemented.
