[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8063506, member: 6779196"] I shorten the lifespans of all of the common races significantly. My dwarves grow, mature, and age basically as humans do, but thanks to their toxin resistance they tend to remain healthier in their later years and can live to around 120. Eladrin are immortal but have largely all buggered off to the Otherworld, while their mortal descendants the elves have lifespans comparable to humans, though many nearing the end of their lives will opt to enter Trance and never awake rather than succumb to deterioration and disease. Halfling children grow about as fast as human children do, so they reach their full height pretty early, usually around 7-9 years, though like humans they of course aren’t finished maturing sexually until their mid-teens or developmentally till their mid-twenties. They have the same average life expectancy as humans but on occasion have been known to live over a hundred years in favorable conditions. Humans [I]can[/I] live up to about 120 with a great deal of magical aid, but such life-support is not available to the common folk, who don’t tend to live much longer than 80 or 90 years. EDIT: Oh, and my Tieflings are literally humans with Turathi noble heritage so they have human lifespans, and my dragonborn exhibit negligible senescence. [/QUOTE]
