Aging Characters out of Cannon

[calsnowskier]

How do you age a wrestler card if he/she stays around in your fed longer than the official story line?

If I feal a wrestler has left due to age, but I need to keep him around for what ever reason, I use the following chart to age a wrestler...


(all penalties are cumulative)

Year 1 -- +1 to Power, Agility, pin; only takes 2 tokens to get "tired" instead of normal 3

Year 2 -- +1 to Power, Agility, pin; -1 to opponents pin

Year 3 -- +1 to Power, Agility, pin; -1 level on all charts

Year 4 -- +1 to Power, Agility, pin; -1 to opponents pin; -1 on all charts (all charts are now "C")

Year 5 (and each subsequent season) -- +1 to Power, Agility, pin; -2 to opponents pin

I am still tweaking this chart, but overall, it has worked rather nicely for me.

I'm more inclined to update the card, but that seems like it would work.. maybe a little harsh.. you'd have a high enough PIN to be useless after only a couple years.

I currently have Torin Caelum and Santon in year 4 of the chart. Their pin ratings are pretty high (TC = 8 (5) and Santon = 11(8)). Caelum's card is pretty studly, so he is still a top notch contender whereas Santon is more of a lower Mid-Card guy now (ability wise).

If anything, I have found that this chart is not harsh enough.

This is a neat idea. I guess I've always just used the "retirement chart" in the ringside companion, which is similar to this. But this is a good way to age a wrestler. I think it's fair, not too terribly harsh, imo!? Good job overall. If you finish "tweeking" it, let us know how it works out! Might be a good thing to archive sometime!
