Merge houses with farms and you can get rid of 'food'. Also, why only physical attacks, surely some creatures would be able to do magical damage. I also dislike the whole 'ages' thing, they were never a brilliant idea anyway, and the concept is really threadbare these days.

@Buldgeon:just in weekends,in weekdays I'm very busy
@MattII:To combine houses and farms I don't it's the best idea.Undead don't have farms,I know will be logical if they won't need houses,but will be also overpowered(because they also don't need food).About magic damage,the spellcasters cast spells which have a constant damage(maybe there will be somethig like spell-power which increase magic damage

They do need magic though, to stop themselves rotting, so that's how you work it. Also, theoretically demons wouldn't need food either, but they probably would need some sort of magic to hold open the gateways to their infernal realm.

Actually, Ghouls and Vampires need to eat/drink.
Quote:
Ghouls feed on corpses
Quote:
However, they need to drink human blood on a regular basis to thin this venom down, and prevent it from dissolving their body from the inside.
Skeletons, Liches and Ghosts are the only creatures that we're sure are freed from the need of eating/drinking.
