So on page 185 of the Time Travelers Companion it says that Neo Time Lords have Enhanced Longevity among other things. And I was wondering what anyone else's group had made up for a human Neo Time lord's lifespan. Oh and I was kinda hoping that someone could tell me how long their Human Neo Time Lord's regeneration lifespans are as well.

Well if each body is human, but they can regenerate 12 times then take a human lifespan and multiply it by 13.

Yeah but the problem is the TTC said that Neo Time Lords get enhanced longevity. But thanks for the idea nonetheless.

Well Gallifreyans without self-regenerating biogenic molecules typically only live for 300 years.
Gallifreyans WITH self-regenerating biogenic molecules typically live for around 7,000 - 12,000 years [10,000 is the statistical average], but this is over the course of 12 regenerations [so 13 bodies].
If you had some sort of lame version of the biogenic molecules that enhanced life-span but didn't allow for regeneration, then I'd expect a life-span of about 770 year for one body. So the biogenic molecules increase your lifespan by a factor of about 2.6. Which means if you gave them to a human, each body would last about 200 years.

Yep Thats about The lifespan I was thinking. I just wanted to hear someone else's opinion. Sorry for not getting back to you right away. Also thanks for the advice, I will be using it.

Sorry to Necro but If a Human/Time Lord Mix as described in the TTC book on page 185, has the Ability to Regenerate, how would that work out Lifespan wise?

If a normal Gallifreyan lives 300 years and one of the Doctors incarnations (#11) lasted c 1100 years, the enhanced longevity gives each body up to 3.67 times species normal. For humans species normal today is 84, multiplied by 3.67 is 308. Factor in 12 regenerations and we get a total of just over 4000 years.

It should be noted that 1100 years for a single incarnation is on the long side. Probably closer to a human living to be 100 years old. So the total lifespan of a pure human with biogenic molecules would [statistically speaking] be closer to 3300 years.
It should be noted that many of these numbers are extrapolated well past their sell by dates so the GM would have a fair amount of flexibility to tweak things.

I should probably mention that this character has been spliced with Time Lord DNA.

Time Lord longevity varies a lot in Doctor Who fiction - if you haven't already seen it, have a look at the last couple of pages in my Chronology of the Doctor's Age for a complete list of references from TV and spin-offs as to how long Time Lords live. The current version can be downloaded from the link in the last post in this thread: The Doctor's Age - a chronology
