    The Immortality arcane discovery. Can only be taken by 20th level wizards. Removes physical age penalties and stops the aging process entirely.

    The Fortify seed for epic spells has a built in effect you can use to add more years to your current age category. It won't make you younger but it'll keep you from tipping over into the next category for a while. You can cast it again once you're there to extend that category too.

    That's up to interpretation, because the adjustment to one category adjusts the following categories too, so one could imagine that another casting would only extend the following category if the bonus added superseeded the previous bonus (since they don't stack).

    Where in the rules does it say it adjusts following categories too? And even if it did, that just sves you having to actually cast it again.

    Right in the seed's text.

    Usually, 3.5 avoids effects that deal with age and aging. Even the Ghost's attack, that in previous editions caused aging, became ability drain.

    That's because they realized nobody bothered to track age. They also removed the hit from Haste which broke it. Or revealed it was broken already, IMHO.

    Based on Belkar's pineapple throwing ability (I am too new to hyperlink..cuz that's a thing...but #514) I think he's more likely a descendant of Baron Pineapple.

    That, or he's throwing the baron's descendants just for the fun of it...
