Have they already been provided (in whole or in part) in the Age of Mortals supplement? If not, will they be provided elsewhere? If not, what do you all think those missing vitals should be? The height and weight can be readily surmised from the racial physical description sections, but age is less clear. Kender seem similar to halfings as far as aging characteristics, but SAGA (the Saga Companion) indicated that they don't have a long a lifespan as half-elves. So here's what I figure ... Random Starting Ages Per halfing. Aging Effects Middle Age: 45 Old Age: 70 (based on specific reference in kender description) Venerable: 90 Maximum: +4d20 Centaurs don't have any clue as to age ... but the SAGA system listed their lifespan as the same as Kender ... Minotaurs were listed in SAGA as having the same lifespan as kenders ... Draconians. Hmm. They're descended from dragons, which are longer-lived than elves ... and Kang doesn't seem to be suffering fom old age. What do you all think? Ogres and Half-ogres would seem to be like the half-orc in aging. Irda would probably around the elf lifespan ... maybe.

They have been described as being able to live up to a thousand years old. Irda would probably around the elf lifespan ... maybe. At the very least they should live as long as elves.

I would recommend picking up the Tales of the Lance boxed set (if you can find it) for info on the height, weight, etc. for the various races. It won't cover a few (i.e. ogre, half-ogre, centaur, and draconian), but it will have most of the "mainstay" races.
#4 zombiegleemax Aug 22, 2003 15:22:21	-shameless plug- I've compiled a height, weight, age table like the one in the PH on my Ansalonian Gazetteer. You can find it on my sig.

I've got the Tales of the Lance boxed set and just looked, it does provide aging characteristics for Minotaurs and Irda, so that's something at least.

#7 zombiegleemax Aug 23, 2003 5:50:06	Figuring out the venerable age for Kender is like like figuring out how long it takes a carton of cream to go bad if left out of the fridge... Most of them go before their planned expirey date. (not necessarily true, but I thought it was mildly amusing)
#8 jonesy Aug 23, 2003 6:03:24	Kronin Thistleknot lived to be 80-90 years old and he didn't appear to have slowed down much in Spirit of the Wind. ;)
#9 iltharanos Aug 23, 2003 23:56:06	There are half-kender in Age of Mortals , right? Are there any height, weight, age tables for them?
#10 iltharanos Aug 26, 2003 22:28:20	*Bump* How about an official response to the vital stats query? Even if it's only a, "No, we're not going to be putting out vital stats for kender, centaurs, minotaurs, irda, ogres, half-ogres, and draconians." ;)

Most likely, we'll include such a table in a Races of Krynn type book in the future. Christopher
