==Long Lived Races==

Long lived races have potentially very high NPC class levels if given a high xp rate.  This tendancy is countered by higher starting ages for longer lived characters and is lessened by the ever increasing level requirements.

Still, a Elf who is 350 years old, and has accumulated 250xp/year from the age of 114, has 236 year x 250xp/year = 59000 xp and is level 10.  Typical minumum levels for onset of middle age are as follows:

 Race     Adult Midage     XP Level
 Human       15     35   5000     3
 Dwarf       40    125  21250     7
 Elf        110    175  16250     6
 Gnome       40    100  15000     6
 Half-elf    20     62  10500     5
 Half-orc    14     30   4000     3
 Halfling    20     50   7500     4

Older NPC's and NPC's with higher xp accumulation rates wil be of higher levels.  At the extreme edge, a venerable Elf who is 350 years old, and has accumulated 1000xp/year from the age of 114, has 236 year x 1000xp/year = 236000 xp and is level 20, possibly epic.

===Dwarves===

Adult male Dwarves typically have heroic class levels and fairly high xp rates (500xp to 1000xp or sometimes more).  Adult female dwarves (cloistered) also typically have heroic class levels but have lower xp rates (250xp-500xp).
