05-31-07, 08:01 PM how long does a githzerai live?? I am just curious although aging is hardly ever used in any campaign I tend to run one of my characters through many ages of the same campaign world.

Yeah, but I like this account. It has all of my thread subscriptions.

Well, I'd like some kind of official approval. Until then, I'd recommend the OP go buy the book (it's a nice system, just remember to rewrite all the flavor text).

06-01-07, 12:26 AM The aging table I got from the fan-made Planescape update, which is presumably the ORIGINAL gith table, is as follows:

Adulthood (equivalent to humans at 15) starts at 30.
Middle-aged is from 125 to 166.
Old is from 167 to 250.
Venerable lasts until they die of old age, at 250 + (random rolled number between 1-100) years.

The 3rd edition is much less, for some reason. Bah. I stick to the old-school ways. :P

06-01-07, 02:20 AM For starting age, use human values. As for aging effects, githzerai (and githyanki) live slightly longer than dromites. That is, it takes them slightly longer to enter Middle age, and a still a bit more to become venerable. Otherwise, they're identical :)

What MushroomSpore posted is form the original githzerai age and aging effects table from 2e Planescape accessory, Planewalker's Handbook (p. 81).
