11-06-07, 12:21 AM Hey everyone, is there any resource out there that gives the ages for goblins? You know, adulthood, old, venerable, maximum age, all that jazz.

Thanks a lot for any help!

i'm fairly certain they are not long-lived. they breed like rats, spread too fast, and ultimately conform to most horde mentality; exceed carrying capacity; lack of food resources, therefore, they must take from others that were more, um, responsible in their growth.

Adult: 10
middle age: 20
Old: 30
Venerable: 40 +2D10

Oh good, there is something about it in one of the official books! Thanks a lot!

Thanks also to 1 ton ghost and bullfrog for your helpful suggestions and ideas!
