100 - 180 is purposely fast, but it's still difficult to hit in a week. The highest RPL characters that are 14 years or under are just breaching it, and most have existed for roughly two weeks. Typically a fresh character is also roleplaying a lot because motivation is high, so I don't mind that pace.
Halved AP gain at 13 and under & -10% DR until you're 18. You aren't crippled beyond play, but anyone who's half decent can probably defeat you since they have a higher RPL and possibly a hidden. To the ones who can't, they're just below average as far as their fighting potential goes. That's fine.
I believe the only change that's worth making to age DR at the moment is to lower it from 50 to 40, or even 35. Assuming you started at 15, that's 125 days of activity, about four months. At that point, you should probably do less instigating and the spotlight should naturally move on over to the next generation anyway. 50 was appropriate back when the year speed was 4 days per year, but now it's 5 and things have slowed down fairly because of that. Also, age -dr caps out at -10% now, so it's a light handicap at most compared to the -30% it could reach in Spires.
