Why do Elders get lower Fate and Potential?

Why do Elders get lower Fate and Potential points? Just wondering. Also, what's the name of that symbol on the front cover? It's beautiful! Fantastic work. Keep up the great work!

¡Hi, IronMagpie! Sorry for the delay, life was merciless these past few days.

The original idea bahind the Age Chart was a mix between these goals:

  1. Making it somewhat fair to have a Child character next to an Elder one;
  2. Representing the fictional trope that younger characters depend more on their character developement (i.e.: their Rewards and Potential) to be successful than older characters, while they in turn depend more on their learned Traits.
  3. Making an homage to Burning Empires, in which characters with more Lifepaths start out with fewer Artha points.

About the symbol on the cover, it is credited at the end, but I'll repeat it here, :). It was called "Adorno Flor Simetría", which roughly translates to "Symmetry Flower Decoration", and the author is OpenClipart-Vectors. Here is a link (but it appears to have its name changed): https://pixabay.com/es/vectors/ornamento-flor-simetr%c3%ada-c%c3%a9ltico-147146/
The pattern that is in the background was done by Gonzalo Rubio, who works with us and has his own itch page too: https://krinnen.itch.io/
