When [[Player Characters|player characters]] are [[Character Generation|generated]], it is necessary to establish the character's age.  I usually do this with my [[Character Background Generator|character background generator]], but in case I have to do it manually, and so that players understand the formulas for calculating age, I include the table shown on the right.
