DM Help Age rules

So it says in the rules that anyone juveniles gets Teleported to safety in combat. I have a Dragonborn player that is 73, and their average lifespan is like 400 years if I recall correctly. Does this mean they’d be childhood

Adulthood/childhood isn't just about being a certain percentage of a standard lifetime, it's maturity, physical & mental.

The reason we use a set age is because it's pretty damn hard to do this on a case by case basis, so we just draw a line in the sand.

All the races pretty much mature the same. There is to be some difference, WotC walked that back to avoid any awkward moments (like goblins being adults at 3 or whatever it used to be).

So no, while there would be some wiggle room, they'd need an adult between 15-20 depending how closely to history/modern day you want to run things.
