Hey, It's ya boi Kavu or Zirus, or whatever. I'm back for a while.

From what I have gathered the conventional knowledge on veela-veela foot fighter builds seems to be about the same as it ever was. Height is largely preference-based, stout is fantastic, and you want to cap out your str, con, and dex unless you're going for a pure mage.

What I don't understand is the insistence by some on age 31 instead of age 30. At age 31 you receive the exact same attribute point pool as 30, but you get 1 less point in your cap for Constitution. Why wouldn't I go with age 30? I understand this is a minimal difference in the large scheme of things but I do wonder if I am missing something somehow if the weight scaling affects different ages to a different degree or some nonsense.

The Long Life clade gift which reduces age-based penalties is the answer to your question. You cannot preview its impacts at character creation.

Age 31 caps with Long Life:
88 Str
121 Dex
101 Con
97 Int
107 Psy

Age 30 caps with Long Life:
88 Str
121 Dex
99 Con
97 Int
107 Psy

Also relevant to you may be the age 23 caps with Long Life:
89 Str
120 Dex
100 Con
95 Int
105 Psy

Good question. I trusted my eyes over words of others and ended up choosing age 30. RIP

Long life clade gift looks pretty unavoidable, so it looks like ill be going age 31 after all.
