Talk:Caduceus Clay/@comment-30678646-20180809024959

As a person who is a nerd, especially concerning math, I did some work and I think Caduceus is in his 70's or 80's. If you're wondering where that number came from I'll detail it below. If you're not, or you feel like doing something silly like citing CANON, then you can ignore the rest of this.

Operating under the assumptions that a human reaches adulthood at 20 years, reaches middle-age at 40, is considered old at 60, and dies at 80 (mostly because these are really friendly numbers), we can extrapolate similar landmarks for a Firbolg at (20 segments, (Death-Adulthood)/3, 500-30 = 470 / 3 = 156, round down to 150) 180 for middle-age, and 330 for old. A 25 year old human has lived 25% of the span between adulthood and middle-age, so a Firbolg at that age range would be about 68.

However, the above assumptions are for a modern human with access to modern medicine. If we use the age ranges given in the Player's Handbook ("late teens" = 18, "less than a century' = 70), than a 25 year old is 40% on their way to middle-age, putting Caduceus at about 90 years.

Not calling for a change to the page. Just a nerd doing some math.
