[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8913093, member: 57383"] I thought we'd leave that kind of stuff to the Description of the cyclopian humans writeup. Assuming we actually get around to that! I don't think the griffon-riders routinely visit cyclops lairs to collect the offspring, although it wouldn't surprise me if they do flyovers now and again to pick up new recruits. However, if they do indeed have a "hidden kingdom" that suggests the hybrids breed true, which implies either that female hybrids can exist, or that the all-male High Plainsmen have to constantly find wives who'll accept their ocular shortcomings. I prefer the "one eyed women" solution, although one does wonder how often a cyclops would miss that a one-eyed baby is a girl! Speaking of odds, I did wonder about including the original probabilities in [I][B]Cursed Births[/B][/I], i.e. "(the type of baby can be randomly determined with a d10 roll: 1-4 is a cyclops, 5-7 a human, 8-10 a hybrid)" but couldn't decide whether to bother.
