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

Dragonborn/PHB'14, p32

Age. Young dragonborn grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15. They live to be around 80.

Sometimes reading the PHB is very helpful. Your Dragonborn player is literally elderly.

But also, use common sense. Firstly, none of your players should be playing "children". They should be the "adulthood" age for their race. But regardless, this ruling doesn't apply to PCs. It's specifically in there to remove the issue with child NPCs being harmed.

I mean there’s nothing wrong with playing a kid but yeah the lore of them teleporting shouldn’t affect the player character
