Other than Trollslayers, are dwarf's a naturally long-lived race? I just saw a reference in EoN regarding an elder dwarf, "that was the first to come to Ubersreik in response to Magnus's appeal for help in rebuilding the town." That was something like 200 years ago.

What's the max lifespan of the various races?

I've been wondering that myself recently. I know there was a discussion on it on the old v2 boards, but since they've gone down the drain I'm not sure where to look. Neither the v2 or v3 rulebooks seem to mention even an approximation of how old they can get.

The Methusalem like dwarfs that won't seem to want to die, reach over 400 years in age and are called living ancestors.

Dwarfs that live longer than 200 years are called Great Beards.

Any dwarf over 150 is called an Elder.

Most of them die around 200 years.

Just to keep going:
Long beards are at 120y
Full Beards (adults) at 70y
Anything younger is simply a young clansman.

forgot to mention:

this is based on the Dwarfs supplement - Stone & Steel

Excellent work Nisses!
