take a look at his attributes while he is OLD. Then you will see what being OLD means in this game ;)

Does OLD wear off or do i have to find a place to get it cured ?

you need to get it cured. temples are your best friend in this regard.

There is no spell to counter Wither, you can only cast Wither. AFAIK, it does not wear off.

It's a perma debuff that makes all your statistics to become 1. You can only cure that in temples. But as you level up those 1 statistics are no more a big issue. I endend up an entire dungeon with no problem.

It usually means that character attacks last and may get hit more often. But yeah, OLD is not as debilitating as I remember it being.

I usually get out of a dungeon ASAP when a member has an incurable stat.

don't fight magicians when you are just starting out. Just run from them.

If you have low level characters that die or get OLD or something, sometimes it is just better to delete them rather than cure them.

After playing the game a bit you might learn how to create better characters (rogues don't seem very useful, CON is really good, etc.)

I played the originals but even with the new version, I deleted quite a few of my starting characters. If you keep your strongest, characters and reroll half your party it is pretty quick to get the new characters up to speed.

You can also play with the premade group, and slowly sub in your own characters (probably the easiest way to start the game off).

38 is not old :trazz:

Btt: I usually reload when I am just at the beginning or in the middle of the dungeon, but you can usually finish it even if some team members being old.

I'm still in town and level 3. I don't know anything about the classes or how to replace them. I just went with the default team as a first time player. I found the temples but it is a bit of a pia to go back to them. I haven't figured how to leave the town yet or if i am able to leave the town - i find a locked gate that i can't open and a second statue that can kill me in one swing but dies fast. Soon I will be level 3.
