[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 6085466, member: 25696"] I am trying to create the Tanis Half-Elven character for a 3.5 Dragonlance campaign, but are running into a little problem. According to the official Dragonlance sources, Tanis Half-Elven is over 100 years old, but looks to be about 21 due to his elven heritage. Also, his Strength is 16. According to the player handbook, a Half Elf of 100 years old has a -3 penalty to his physical stats, which would make his starting strength 19. (unless he took an ability increase at 4th level, in which case hist starting strength would be 18) This would suggest either incredible starting stats (given his other physical stats would have to be Dex 18 and Con 15) or the Dragonlance race(s) use different age categories for the standard races. I've looked online, but cannot for the life of me find any reference to an offical Aging Effects table for dragonlance races. Does anyone know where I could find such a table? Or is Tanis Half-Elven really 'Old' during the official campaign? Edit: Ok, found ONE reference myself, in Races of Ansalon: Half-elves (including phaethons) mature at 20 years and use the half-elf age effects chart from the Player’s Handbook with +20 years added to each listed age for Middle Age, Old and Venerable. That would make Tanis Middle Aged, not Old. If anyone has anything to add to this I welcome additional sources and references, but for now I think I'm good. [/QUOTE]
