    Default would this be a baby or old timer?

    I'm still making a world, and orcs and goblinoids play a huge part of the world, and the php and MM don't have anything on orc, goblin and hobgoblin ages, do you have to make them up yourself of is there a book I dot have?

    I'd say make it up, or give them halfling, or maybe Dwarf ages.

    I know but the problem is that orcs supposedly have a shorter lifespan, that is just from looking at the half orc, but you're right

    when in doubt

    HOMEBREW IT!

    Yeah, I'd base orc as younger than half-orc, and very similiar ages for all others.
    I take this game with the seriousness it deserves.
    Not all that much. It's a game.

    I say give the orcs livespans notably shorter than half-orcs for continuity. Make the goblins even more short lived to balance out their rapid reproduction and explain why they're so low tech for such a cunning race. The hobgoblins should be slightly more long-lived than humans, allowing for their disciplined lifestyle and militaristically similiar nature. Bugbears should be near ageless, like elves, their population kept in check only by their violent lifestyle.

    I think there's info for that in one of the Eberron books, but I'm not completely sure. I'll go check when my DM is done using my books.
    I think, therefore I am... I think...
