You have Dwarves starting to age at about 200, and dying by 300 or so. In The Hobbit Thorin & co. often mutter "if I were a century younger", which to me implies that they are active adults for many centuries, not just one or two.

Excellent point with the Dwarves. I think another level of lifespan is in order. I'll update the template.
Bilbo at 111 was remarkably old, and at 130 was unheard of. Definitely older than typical Men, but even a single level would put Hobbits into the 140s easily. As Stormcrow pointed out, the slow maturity is probably cultural as well. Without half-levels, I figure it's best just to hand-wave the thing as minor. No need to charge a point for something that's probably not going to come up.
