that's not how this works!! it's silly to assume all other species reach maturity at the same point proportional to their average lifespan! almost as silly as to assume all species reach maturity after the same absolute time.

Americans will invent a fantasy world, give a character a Scottish accent but still set the drinking age to 21.

There was a short form video I saw somewhere about how bartenders in fantasy universes gotta have a thick handbook with every species' legal drinking age listed

The correct calculation is is (<your age> / 2) + 7. Oh wait that's for something else.

Wait there was no need to do 21/100*71 and check 15, they could simply compare 71 with 100.
She just secretly wanted to do math!

see this is the setting i want. modern urban fantasy with none of the grimdark that seems to plague the genre.

Why would a dwarf calculate it from human age?

73! = 4.47011546 x 10^105 seems old enough

4470115461512684340891257138125051110076800700282905015819080092370422104067183317016903680000000000000000 seems a bit higher than 100

But, it's just beer.

15 is old enough for mead! (In Germany, unless she bought it herself, than 16 would be the required age. That bar looks pretty German to me.)

But... Dwarven mead might be considered hard alcohol.

But, she's an elf, so she might digest alcohol completely differently...

This is a much harder question than just comparing 73 to 100.

Their parents are german, the elf will be questioned why this is not their 12 beer

I mean, if it Forgotten Realms. You're probably considered an Elven Adult once you no longer dream of Avandor- they're depression era.

Okay but why is 73 being ratio'd to 100? Shouldn't it be whatever age is considered elderly for an elf instead?

In all seriousness I’ve wondered if living that long would actually make you mature slower or at the same rate. It’s like Grogu in the Mandalorian is around 50 but still acts like a toddler.
