This represents the age when a member of the lineage grows into adulthood, and their expected lifespan. You can choose any starting age for your character, but if you want to a play a very young or very old character, make sure to run it by your GM first.
Size
Most lineages are medium size category but some may be small. Large is not common
Speed
Your speed determines how far you can move when traveling overland and in combat. Most creatures have only a walking speed, but some lineages grant special types of movement such as climbing or swimming speed.
Traits
Each lineage grants hereditary traits that are unique to members of that lineage. These are traits your character is born with, such as a dwarf's ability to see in the dark. This can sometimes grant magical effects but those lineages are not described in this book.
