For Michebugio:
1 - Middle Age (36 to 50 years old): a LM can force a re-roll or impose a failure aggravation on Common Skills related to Body, but only to those actions that would need an excellent or near-optimal body condition.
2 - Old Age (51 to 60 years old): a LM can force a re-roll or impose a failure aggravation on Common Skills related to Body, to all actions except simple or routine efforts (like riding, marching, swimming calm waters, jumping very short distances)or actions that require only a small exertion from the character.
3 - Very Old Age (61 to 70 years old): a LM can force a re-roll or impose a failure aggravation on Common Skills related to Body to all actions except the simplest ones (like walking quickly, or riding at slow speed). He can also force a re-roll or impose a failure aggravation on Weapon Skills.
4 - Venerable (71+ years old): a LM can force a re-roll or impose a failure aggravation on all rolls that may add Body to the result (Body-related Common Skills, Weapon Skills and Protection rolls). He can also force a re-roll or impose a failure aggravation on other Common Skills, whichever he deems appropriate for the character.
Your suggest has merit, but the ranges you supply would only apply to normal (non-Dunedain) Men. I'm not sure how your table would apply to other races (excluding Elves, who would be immune to most ageing effects).
Men (Normal)
- Middle Age: 36-50 years old
- Old Age: 51-60 years old
- Very Old Age: 61-70 years old
- Venerable: 71+ years old
Dunedain
- Middle Age: 61 to 90 years
- Old Age: 91 to 120 years
- Very Old Age: 121 to 140 years
- Venerable: 141+ years
Hobbits
- Middle Age: 46 to 65 years old
- Old Age: 66 to 80 years old
- Very Old Age: 81 to 95 years old
- Venerable: 95+ years old
Dwarves
- Middle Age: 111 to 150 years old
- Old Age: 151 to 180 years old
- Very Old Age: 181 to 210 years old
- Venerable: 211+ years old
The above are just rough estimates by me. Refinements are welcome.
