03-16-08, 06:56 PM As the title states, I was wondering where I could find the information, but I am also open to speculation on the subject.

I do realize that it may vary by dragon type, but I was looking for an approximation.

03-17-08, 10:31 AM Thanks. I'll see if any of my players have the book.

03-21-08, 04:44 AM I have the book and all it says is that they live longer than normal for the race. No where in Races of Dragons does it give a definate lifespan for them.

03-21-08, 07:24 AM 150%-200% of each age category doesn't sound bad to me. It means that a Half-Dragon Thri-Kreen (the base race can live for 30 years tops) will not outlive Half-Dragon elves.

It's kind've a catch-22. You can be ridiculously overpowered, but for 30 years, tops.

03-22-08, 02:53 AM That's not a Catch 22. A Catch 22 is when you want to do something, but the very act of wanting to do it makes it impossible.

What you're describing is a trade-off.

03-23-08, 06:24 PM i think there are rules in races of the dragon for increasing the life spans of dragonwrought kobolds compared to normal kobolds. maybe using a similar scheme to that would work for half dragons.

03-24-08, 02:36 AM I don't believe there is an official answer, and as such, I believe it reasonable to assume that the base race's life span should be correct.
