[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7927035, member: 4937"] Half-dryad is a thing. In fact "half-X", where X is pretty much anything in the game is a thing. For obvious reasons, but it hasn't avoided importing every single monstrous or potentially monstrous being of myth, often without explanation, leaving DMs to try to grapple with the origins of all those myths. Moreover, while obviously D&D has avoided certain "adult subjects", the mythic and magical setting implies that things work pretty much like you'd expect in myth and not biology. And this is reinforced by the existence of a half-X just about everything. This is a change in topic, but I don't see how it relevant. As he admits himself, orcs are not real, so what the players and GMs think about orc morality at any particular table, is in some real sense true for that table. Ok, where in this thread have I ever implied humans aren't racist? Heck, I even implied my fantasy humans were in some senses more racist than the other people groups in my world. The fact that humans are racist doesn't make his argument less weak. It certainly doesn't make it less racist. [/QUOTE]
