So, I'm working on the backstory for an illithid npc for an rp I'm in, and I can't seem to recall how long illithid's live for. Any of the scribes on here have this knowledge and care to share?

Thanks. My copy of Lords of Madness is on a harddrive some three hundred miles from here, so what I had figured was the best source was beyond my reach.
That is a somewhat disappointing answer, though. Was hoping for something in the count of centuries. |

No, it's never been much more than a bit over a hundred. I think The Illithiad had it at about 120 years, but I'm afb right now and can't check.
The only illithids that live for centuries are alhoon, who techinically aren't illithids any longer. |
Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

| Well, I didn't think it was centuries; I didn't know one way or the other. Just that centuries would have better suited my purposes. |

Question; what is the average illithid lifespan?
