[QUOTE="Galieo, post: 3705253, member: 16691"] If the human PC is no longer going to be the template or default PC race, then I could see both of the 1/2 races (i.e., 1/2 elf and 1/2 orc) departing. With the push to having "monsters" as viable PC races, the need for the 1/2 orc is diminished (not to mention certain details around the conception of such PCs that WOTC would like to downplay) and the 1/2 elf is the appendix of Tolkien, a vestigial homage to old J.R.R. that could be phased out. In addition, the naming convention will have to alter. If the human is not the default, the understood and unspoken second half of these two races, then the name would need to be "1/2 elf 1/2 human" or "1/2 human 1/2 orc." There will not be enough spaces on the field on the internet forms for these two races and therefore they will be illegal in 4E. :lol: [/QUOTE]
