Elves in Dungeons & Dragons typically live for around 750 years. They reach adulthood at about 100 years of age and can live up to 700-750 years on average

. While physically mature by their mid-20s, elves are not considered adults until around 100 years old

. Their long lifespan gives them a broad perspective compared to humans, who rarely live beyond 100 years

. Despite their longevity, elves can still die from physical trauma or disease. Their extended lifespan allows them to develop skills and knowledge over centuries, but it also influences their culture and behavior, often making them more cautious about risks

. In summary:

• Elven adulthood begins around age 100.
• Typical lifespan is up to about 750 years.
• Physically mature by mid-20s but socially mature much later.
• Their longevity impacts their worldview and lifestyle.

This lifespan is consistent across most D&D settings, including the Forgotten Realms
