      Does it matter? If we used maturity as a measure, I would still be unable to drink.

      I’m talking about physical maturity, not emotional maturity (which is greatly influenced by environment).

              In D&D, the standard assumption is that elves mature just as fast as humans, but they are culturally treated as children until around hundred or just a bit higher. But I’ve started developing a campaign setting where elves really are the equivalent of kids until that age, and all the implications of that. One of which is that, if humans attended school alongside elven kids, they’re going to lose their reputation of mystique and wisdom— they’re going to be viewed as kinda slow and dimwitted, as the humans graduate through the grades and the elevens get held back a decade or so.

                Others have doubted the 21 year figure being appropriate for humans but I think the 100 year figure is ridiculous for elves. It’s based on the assumption that age of maturity and total lifespan are always preserved in an exact ratio across different species, when this is demonstrably not the case.

                Whats's even funnier is that Pathfinder 2e has an "Ancient Elf" heritage, and the guidelines state that it's at least 100 years old

                  I think it’s one of those things where they don’t want you playing a 16 year old elf because reasons.

                  Just like how you need to use fantasy names rather than normal names like Steve or Tiffany.

                    only if you assume the drinking age is 21 or the equivalent.

                    Which is exactly what the character is doing

                    No the character just confirms that an equivalent age of 15 is too young. 21 is just the baseline age they use to do the calculation, because it lines up with 100 years in elf years. But the bartender wouldnt have to do the second part of the calculation at all if the drinking age is 21. It could easily be 16 or 17 and the elf would still be too young.

                      I read that and then imagined it was a lecture by some sort of an insect, likely an ant-type, wearing a monocle and a top hat.

                        Who is "they" in this situation? Because in PF2E, nothing is really stopping you from playing a 16 year old Seer Elf apart from the rest of the table possibly looking at you funny
