Game balance issues, there. One of the challenging factors in KoDP is the need to constantly train up new, youthful heroes, since your current crop age and die. If one of your leaders could continually grow without aging, always going on quests and becoming stronger, the game would end pretty quickly.

Or, it would become an RPG in which lead characters go off on immortality quests. I prefer what we've got, now. :)
