Life Expectancy in Arelith?

[Diilicious]

So i was wondering what exactly is.. or rather how long can a human character reasonably expect to live in the cannon of this universe?

do hin live longer than humans? or are they just mini-humans.

also what about orcs? and half orcs.

[METAL BAWKSES]

Hin live about half a century longer than humans, iirc. Humans probably live the typical 80-100, running the gambit depending upon healthy living/magic. You can live a lot longer if you are a wizard, obviously. Orcs I can't recall but I believe they have typically short lifespans and I believe the same goes for half-orcs due to health and lifestyle issues.

[My decency]

Half-orcs were like...60-80, iirc.

[Cerk Evermoore]

Goblins I think have pretty short life spans, that's why they get the -1 ECL.

Missed one.
Elf(drow) Considered mature adult of breeding age at 30 years
Average lifespan about 60-80 Max lifespan +4d% years

[Mr_Rieper]

Man that's crazy.


A drow surviving for 30 years.


What a world.

[Shadofury]

didnt miss one no elf is considered adult at 30 this table was for generic elves except for sun ( grey) elves and this was from the 3d ed chart of faerun guide to the realms

Even drow didnt have their aging altered when they were cast down, only their physical appearance

[gilescorey]

goblin would fall under deep gnome i would assume

Why would goblins fall under deep gnome, they're not related physiologically in any way shape or form

Lifespan is not the same thing as life expectancy.

Drow often die very young due to...external factors. If they were in a culture that didn't practice regular murder, sacrifice of sentient beings (including their own race) and infanticide.

They may have similar physiology to elves, but as a general rule they die much earlier. Thus, what Durvayas said.

[Durvayas]

Liriel Beanre is already an adult and proficient seductress at the tender age of 49. Your information on how quickly drow mature physiologically is, by dint of canon, incorrect.

Elves as a whole are MATURE(emotionally) by 110. Physically, they age only slightly slower than humans.

[gilescorey]

aw hell yeah

[Kuma]

Liriel Beanre is already an adult and proficient seductress at the tender age of 49

aw hell yeah

Huh, I guess drow really are bottom rightists.

what do you mean i can't crowdfund the assassination of the ulath taller with skull coins

[azrael_athing]

do hin live longer than humans? or are they just mini-humans.

She lives in Burrowhome for more then seven years, still refers to them as Mini-Humans?

Now from the NWN Wiki
"Halflings are clever, capable, and resourceful survivors. They are notoriously curious, and show a daring that many larger people can't match. They can be lured by wealth, but tend to spend rather than hoard. Halflings have ruddy skin, hair that is black and straight, and brown or black eyes. Halfling men often grow long sideburns, but rarely beards or moustaches. They prefer practical clothing, and would rather wear a comfortable shirt than jewelry. Halflings stand about 3 feet tall, and commonly live to see 150."

"Half-Orcs are the short-tempered and sullen result of human and orc pairings. They would rather act than ponder and would rather fight than argue. They love simple pleasures, such as feasting, boasting, and wild dancing. They are an asset at the right sort of party, but not at the duchess's grand ball. Half-orcs are as tall as humans but their brutish features betray their lineage. They also regard scars as tokens of pride and things of beauty. They rarely reach 75 years in age."

According to the FR wiki, Orogs have a normal life expectancy of 85 years.
Kobolds about 50
Goblins 62-80
Hobgoblins 60
Ogres it doesn't say, assume they live forever + metagame appropriately

[Wordless Truth]

Numbers listed above may be off? On the character creation screen NWN itself states elves reach about 750 years.

A consistency error on the game developer's part. Forgotten realms routinely features elves that are well over a thousand years old.
