D&D (2024) Half Race Appreciation Society: Why don't they just make a list?

[HammerMan]

They should just grandfather half elves and half orcs and be done with it.

Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t keep those two as iconic.

I enjoy half-elves.

 

[Mind of tempest]

I enjoy half-elves.

and I disagree with that, I think they are pointless and are for people who care more about the character's parents than the pc itself.
but you do you as people say.

WotC puts in entries for half-orc and half-elf

'why do these two get their own write-ups, while Trixie (the obviously common Troll/Pixie combo) does not?'

You disagree with the fact that I enjoy half-elves?

On @Sir Brennen 's example:

OOC: [...]Then determine which of those Race options provides your game traits: Size, Speed, and special traits. You may exchange one Inheritable special trait of your chosen Race with an Inheritable special trait of your other parent's Race. [...]

I would require exchanging all inheritable traits -- that's where the balance point is. So: "You may exchange the Inheritable trait or traits of your chosen Race with the Inheritable traits of your other parent's Race." No swapping just darkvision from elves.
