    I see Aerie as being naive and young, but not 14-15 young! Heck, I've had friends who stayed as naive as her into their mid-20s. In human terms, I place her at around 19 or so, about the same as the PC.

    Oaz -

    That chart you linked to says the base height for human male is 4´10"!

    Are the humans in AD&D pseudo-dwarves! I mean, c'mon, pre-teens are that tall!

    Random weight and height values are between the stupidest things in D&D rules. You always get the epitome of a dwarf - short and round when you roll a human.

    @Oaz: for elves majority age is 110 per core books. As for humans it's 15, it's impossible that human age of 19 should correspond to elven age below majority level.

    I don't consider 14-15 to be unrealistic. My sister in law was married at 14 and she was as adult as any, just not very mature socially. That is how I picture Aerie. And I just will never be convinced by the coming of age at 110, if that was the case genocide would be so easy...

    Perhaps. Player's Handbook though says 110 is majority age for elves.

    Chevalier.

    You are right, but I don't treat the PH as my final decision, I use my own.

    Alot of talk about Aerie.
    I dont think this matter will ever be settled.
    The picture says about 20 (human yrs) that could be everything from 20 to 2000 elven years. By her sayings I´d guess she´s probably 18-22 (human yrs) somewhere. Yes, abit childish at times, but I´ve met more immature people IRL that is over 30. So my guess is that she´s in her early twenties (HY). Elf years - No idea, could be anything from 100-500. Might even be older, just acting younger to get some.

    khazraj is right i think ... korgan must be old as a stone, him and his clan caused the fall of house De'Vir. that doesn't tell WHEN it happened and how long viconia's escape has passed but i think all the stuff and his adventures he tells of from time to time - he is definitely the oldest male npc. i don't know about haer'dalis but as he is from sigil i don't think he can be measured

    PC: In his middle 20s - probably 24-25
    Sarevok: In his late 20s, maybe even in his early 30s
    Imoen: Still a teenager, 20 year old, 21 at best
    Viconia: About 200
    Anomen: 25
    Keldorn: 55 I think
    Minsc: 25 again (true age 7)
    Boo: he is immortal! Miniature Giant Space Hamsters are immortal! Right Boo?
    Aerie: 150
    Korgan: In his active age for dwarves - 100-150
    Irenicus: Probably he was immortal, before he was abducted by his sister. Queen Ellesime wouldn't want her lover to die... :)
    Bodhi: well, she wasn't immortal but she was about 500-600 year old... :)
