Interesting. Didn't read through all 5 pages of it, but:
Mortality is much more debatable. This is just simply that you have to play realistic characters.
We are NOT allowed to play non-humans

No, you can't. All characters are humans in BattleMaster, which is strictly a low-fantasy game. There are some monsters, undead and legends about fairies, trolls and other creatures, but your character is a human.
Meaning, you can't play a 10 foot tall man, or someone who can lift 2000lbs, or..who can wear in plate mail & sword & ride a horse into battle when they are 104 years old.
You are perfectly welcome to play a character that age. You just have to expect him to be limited to what a 104 yo can do.
Which ain't much.
