Thankfully I usually have no difficulty suspending disbelief regarding age and such, although admittedly there is a limit. Probably around 15-16 or so, as Katsunami said. However, it might be worth bearing in mind that a kid of 16, or for that sake 12, of today, is nothing like a kid of the same age would have been a few hundred years ago - and fantasy books tend in general to be set in societies roughly equivalent to our late Middle Ages or the Renaissance. At that time in the real world, a 14 year old would have been considered more or less a grown man and would have been physically far more capable than the average adult is today.
