Potion of Longevity 5e
Potion, very rare
When you drink this potion, your physical age is reduced by 1d6 + 6 years, to a minimum of 13 years. Each time you subsequently drink a potion of longevity, there is 10 percent cumulative chance that you instead age by 1d6 + 6 years. Suspended in this amber liquid are a scorpion's tail, an adder's fang, a dead spider, and a tiny heart that, against all reason, is still beating. These ingredients vanish when the potion is opened.

We’ve all considered what eternal life could look like; with enough potion’s of Longevity and some countermeasures to the cumulative penalty, your D&D character may be able to make that a reality!
Age doesn’t impact any mechanical element of your character.
The cumulative chance countermeasure means a creature likely will be able to reduce their age by 4d6+24 years by drinking four potions before it isn’t likely to reduce more years than the potion adds.
