{{Sidebar|The Grim Reaper|In some games, the GM might want to limit the use of magic to save a character from close death. Eventually after the fifth use of [[SRD:Greater Restoration|''greater restoration'']], the Grim Reaper will take note of you and make it more difficult for you to be cured. The next time you fail a save a [[SRD:Limited Wish|''limited wish'']] will be required to save your life. If you fail a save again afterwords, the Grim Reaper will tighten its grip; the only spells capable of saving you will be a [[SRD:Wish|''wish'']] or a [[SRD:Miracle|''miracle'']].}}
You no longer magically die at a random age, instead a venerable creature must make a fortitude save (DC 10 + half the number of years you are into the venerable age) at the end of each year. If the creature fails as many saves as her [[SRD:Constitution|constitution]] modifier, she falls ill and will die within the year. A [[SRD:Greater Restoration|''greater restoration'']] spell remove removes the illness and saves the creature, but another failed fortitude save against venerable death will cause the illness to return.
A character that died of old age may be brought back from death at old age (although only with [[SRD:Resurrection|''resurrection'']] and [[SRD:True Resurrection|''true resurrection'']] spells), although he or she is always one saving throw from dying again.
