Westryn Elf age ranges - Doktor Joy - 08-26-2026
I've just gone through creating a new group of PCs for the Blackmoor campaign I'm starting. One of them is a Westryn. I've got the Dave Arneson's Blackmoor hard-back that I'm using to determine height, weight, and *age* of the respective characters. For Westryn, it says they become adult at 110 years old, middle-aged at 100 years old, old at 150, and venerable at 200 - and then they'll live for 3d100 more years after that. Those figures can't be correct?
I know they supposedly interbred with a lot of humans before Norris's curse so a lower life-span than the Cumasti makes sense - but to be old at 100 *before* they reach adulthood at 110 has to be a printing error yes?

yes. I'd cut the adult age in half. ymmv

Sounds like a good call

Thank you both - I have followed your advice and our little 1st level Westryn Ranger is now 67 years old (and has a pretty decent back story too
)
