D&D General 30 humanoid races, 30 way to mix blood

[le Redoutable]

You begin to play with one race at 1st level;
Then each time you climb a level you mix blood with an unknown race;
Each race provides special abilities, a +stat and a -stat;
To resolve an action you roll 2d6 , then add/substract the indicated stat.

For example, a 5th level pc may have
The race which provides +1 to Str and -1 to Con,
+
The race which provides +1 Str/ -1 Dex
+
The race which provides +/- Str/Int
+
The race which provides +/- Str/Wis
+
The race which provides +/- Str/Cha

For a total of
+5 Str / -1 Con / -1 Dex / -1 Int / -1 Wis / -1 Cha
+5 from the character's level

Your math is very wrong...

30 races means 29*30/2 = 29 * 15 = 435 ways of mixing your blood + 30 races without mixed blood.

I should have printed " 30 slots to mix blood "

Thanks for the correction ( I was feeling a little exalted )

Or 870 if you discriminate between father and mother.

Thanks TerraDave for correcting the typo!

Okay okay this is for #combinations...

870 plus 30 pure blood.

I feel the combing of lineages purely for mechanical benefits to be pointless.

The story of why a character has a hobgoblin father and a dragonborn mother to be exceedingly more important than what numbers you add to the characters' stats.
