Maybe have a curve for transferring skills.
At 60 to 80, you get to transfer more skills to the new character.
At 100, the amount starts to drop again.
Incentivizing people to retire before 100.
If this, I would suggest a one month grace period where players could retire their REALLY old characters and get the 60-80 range. After that, they can still retire and get a boost, just not as much.
And I like the idea of adding a retired characters honor and prestige to the House as a permanent bonus.
That could really work.
