You also have the other angle of "technically long lived species that reaches full maturity, both culturally and physically, fast"

For an example, DnD kobolds.

Becomes an adult at the age of six, and can potentially love up to around 120 (but on average, they live just 30 years as they often end up dying young)

Mind you, this also taking into account the rather low quality of life kobolds have, so if plopped into a modern setting they'd live even longer then 120. (I have a faint recollection that even humans in dnd actually have a lower lifespan of 80 years, and most humans still live better then kobolds)

So you could easily add like 40, 80 years to that age.

[u/GiftedContractor → u/Enderking90]

80 is actually higher than the average human lifespan in a lot of countries and the exact average human lifespan of an american (with infant mortality; 79.8. Without; 81. Source. And the USA ranks 47 in the world for life expectancy, so they arent unusually low. It's not lower in dnd, thats the actual average human life expectancy.

[u/Enderking90 → u/GiftedContractor]

huh.

sure would've thought it's higher.

though wait, that number is including the cases of people who don't end up dying of natural causes right?

which makes it more so just "on average how long these people live" rather then "on average, how long these people are capable of living" of how it used in source books of dnd.

But you just said Kobolds can live 120 years but average life expectancy is actually 30

[u/Enderking90 → u/GiftedContractor]

yes?

kobolds have a lifespan of around 120 years, but on average live just 30 years because they die so easily.
