If you wanna get buff as in a huge sized character, then max out your health. It is the only stat that will make you bigger. The physique only increases the melee damgae you deal whilst the toughness stat makes you more resistant to enemy attacks. Im pretty sure that they don't affect your character size.

Very easy. All you have to do is keep fighting and you'll be as fit as a fiddle. :)

You can reduce your age by sacrificing at the Chapel of Skorm or donating money at the Temple of Avo or do both but only by a few years, so it's not possible to return to the age when you're at the beginning of the game (unless you use a trainer or something). ;)

The amount of skills you have learned directly affects your age, so if you don't want to be old, learn only the skills you need to know.

you will get a large buff character if u put up more than one strength stat. Your character size is composed of a mixture between them, only putting up one wont make u big.

and for the guy that old and obese you need to run around the map your obesity will go away eventually

And you can become 18 again, on two seperate occasions in the game, when your finding the archeolagist instead of hitting the stones to find him just run to the temple and do the age bonus and hero save to do it again, and the other time is during the mission when you rescue the knothole glade chief's son.

True, but it will cause the game to become unstable as in longer loading times and eventually, causing a crash so if you want to use this hero save trick, just be extra careful.

Agreed there. Happened to me but that was when I was playing about with the Arena. Still the game only seems to become unstable because the Hero Save is used in Witchwood. Didn't occur when I used it during the Blind Seeress quest.

Age is more or less equal to your characters level. The more advanced you are, the older you are.

You can still become permanently young by wearing Jack's Mask. It grants immortality.

This slowdown and instability issues happened to me after using hero save during the "Find the Archaeologist" quest at Witchwood. Haven't tried in the other parts yet, though.

Exactly my point. Problems occur only in Witchwood for some inexplicable reason. Though at times it can be useful to obtain rare items such as the Will Master's Elixir, I don't really recommend it being used too often or too many times in a row.

If you want to get younger again, use a trainer. I dont know how this might effect the monsters around in the game, cause I tought the higher your age the stronger the monsters.

Does your game become unstable doing so? In the Witchwood arena I mean.

Lucky you. I too play on the PC and it gets unstable after two or more loads in the arena :(

But by the time I'm in Witchwood, I usually have maxed out xp points, courtesy of physical shield. :)
