How long can a healthy dwarf live?

The 2E Core Rulebook says "A typical dwarf can live to around 350 years old."

The 1E Core Rulebook tables Table 7-2: Aging Effects indicates that a dwarf could potentially live to 450 years of age.

And yet, Dwarves of Golarion states "A healthy dwarf can live well into his fifth century, though most return to Torag’s forge before they’ve passed 350 years."

So which is it? I made a REALLY old dwarf character, and I'm keen to have a good idea of the maximum potential age so that I can really play it up.

I mean, humans /can/ live to 122, but most die somewhere in their 70s.

it's both (since 450 years and "well into his fifth century" are the same thing, as your first century is from birth to 100).

A typical dwarf only lives about 350 years, but they have the potential for about 450.

OOOOooohh. That makes sense.

I got it in my head that "5th century" meant 500+. Never was the best at math. :P

Bro, same.


Someone born in 99 who lives 2 years has lived through 2 centuries. There's another angle on grammar logic for you.

They have lived in two centuries. That's not the same thing!

How old can a healthy dwarf live? Two questions-
1. How much gold does he have?
2. What is his perception score?
