| Foxboy200007-05-04, 09:29 PM | The Eberronian year is twelve months of 28 days. Earth's year is thirteen months of 28 days plus one day and a quarter. This changes certain assumptions about character ages. If you describe your Eberronian character as 21 years old, you are describing the equivalent of (on our own earth) someone who is 19 and a quarter years old . . . Thus this puts Eberronian Humans' adolescence starting at approximately 11 to 13 . . . Just a few "translations" of character ages for those of you who somehow put yourselves into your campaign worlds: Format: Earth - Eberron 16 - 17 21 - 23 35 - 38 65 - 71 |

| Ezekiel07-06-04, 09:46 AM | Like bluebrush said: Eberron humans age faster than earth humans do. They reach adulthood after fewer number of days than we do, but the same number of years. |
| Kesh07-06-04, 06:16 PM | The point being, there's not enough difference to actually matter. Like it was shown above, there's not much of a noticable difference until you're over 50 years old. Adolescence and adulthood would be virtually identical in all practical terms. For the lifespan of an adventurer, it's a moot point. |
