* In third edition ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', a 110-year-old elf is said to be equivalent to a 15-year-old human. However, the sourcebooks have disagreed on whether this is their physical age, or simply the age where they reach full emotional maturity and are considered adults by their culture. In the fourth edition, elves and eladrin reach adulthood in the same time as humans, but stay in their prime for as long as 200–300 years. In third edition, elves do not die of old age, but [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|but travel to a realm called Arvandar]] when they reach anywhere from 700 to 1,000 years old.
** Dwarves tend to be long-lived, and can live to be over 700 years old if they're lucky. Their close cousins the gnomes can live a few centuries too, but not as much, except forest gnomes, who have been known to live a very long time, some as old as 800 years.
** Giants tend to be very long-lived in some sources. Stone giants live the longest, up to 800 years. Storm giants can live to be 600, while cloud giants can average 400. Other giants aren't so lucky, but can still live anywhere from two to three centuries.
