[QUOTE="Ilium, post: 3014994, member: 40124"] [I]EDIT: People post fast. By "both" in this post I mean Diaglo and the original post.[/I] I agree with you both! :) You could eliminate the half-races and everythingn would work fine, but half-races have a long history in the game. And of course half-elves and "goblin men" figured prominently in Tolkien's work, which informs a lot of people's D&D experience. The only mechanical caveat I would mention is that if you eliminate half-orcs you may want to include another "big strong dumb" race to fill their niche. Either something with the same stats but different fluff, or just make full-blooded orcs a playable race. [/QUOTE]
