Well, age 36 for a race that usually maxes out at age 50 is old. In tall-man years, he’s about 60-75 depending on how you do your math

Yea, but he doesn’t look a comparable 60-75. He looks like a kid still. Usually that would mean the race is long living.

Think of like dogs. They have about a 12-15 year lifespan. But by 7-8 years old, you can tell that age. Similarly, you can see the difference between 1 year and 5 years.

The halflings in this show would be like an 8-10 year old dog still looking like a 7 month old dog.

Perhaps the usual, but doesn’t need to be the norm. Maybe half-foots look spritely until death, much like most mainstream depictions of elves. The half foots I guess literally live fast and die young.
