Hello, this is my first post to the forums. In my spare time I like to group together reference information into word documents for my and my players to use. I recently purchased Alien Archive 2, and just yesterday found the Vital Statistics section that covers the PC races of it, Alien Archive, & the legacy races of the core rule book. I had already made a section in my documents of information for all Starfinder races, filling in the gaps as I went.
So today I was going through and updating my created information for the correct information provided in this book for previous player races, and when I got to the Dragonkin I noticed its Maximum Age is only listed as 100 +d% years. If anyone could provide my with clarification on what this is suppose to mean that would be wonderful. As of right now I'm just going to put it down as 2d% years until I know of a possible definitive answer. Thank any of you for your time helping me with this small puzzle.

It's supposed to be 101-200 years with an average of 150.5 years. 2d100 would be 2-100 years, with an average of 101 years.
What page is that info on? I tend to only read the information that applies to my currant playthrough or for future pc creations. So i have not come across that info.

He's saying it IS what is listed, 100 +d% years, or 101-200. There's no "should." If you want dragonkin who live as long as dragons then you need to houserule it.
Note, those are natural lifespans. It would be totally setting-appropriate for proper medical care to greatly extend lifespan. Sure, it might not be cheap to literally live longer than your species' normal limit, but its a thing you can do.

I'm not wanting to modify it, just clarification. In this instance does the +d% mean +1d%? My confusion comes from that other races all have numbers in front of the 'd'. Such as Ghoran are listed as 200 +1d% years. If the Dragonkin is supposed to have that lifespan then shouldn't it be listed as 100 +1d% years? If its a typo that's fine, was just looking for clarification. Thank you for your time with adding that. I'm be changing my notes to 1d% years.
I misunderstood Berggen's response earlier, I apologize for that, was just confused about the missing number in the book.
Oh, I see. Yeah, that seems like a typo if they generally put a 1 in front of a die size to indicate only one. But I feel (without researching) that it's pretty typical to use d4, d6, d8, etc. to indicate a single die, but maybe Paizo's house style has been different without my noticing.

Thank you you, and Berggen, very much for your responses.
