    Reaction scores and aging

    The PG says that once reaction scores are calculated, they are independent of the governing attribute. This would imply that when the attributes of an individual decrease with age, the reaction scores aren't affected. The NG does not seem to clarify this, unless I'm missing something.

    My inclination is to say that the reaction score should be re-evaluated when the attributes change. It might be that a new governing attribute applies. However, this seems a little unfair since the character doesn't get to reevaluation the reaction scores when he purchases attribute points.

    Maybe I'll just kill 'em all before they get old enough for it to matter

    Anyone else have thoughts on this?

    Actually, Fesarius, changes to Reaction scores for Aging is already taken into account. On "Table 8.2: Aging Effects" (PG p. 145), you will notice that Child, Old & Very Old list modifications to reactions (usually Stamina and Quickness).
