Not all races can breed to create hybrids, for example:Humans and elfs produce sterile hybridsHumans and orcs create fertile offspring. (Which means that in my campaign Orcs are humans folks... orcs have no ships, humans have good ships, guess who was the invader? Orcs hate and kill humans for much the same reason that American Indians hated and killed the white settlers - with much the same result.)Halflings and humans produce offspring that is indistinguishable from humans. Two half-halflings breeding have a 25% chance of producing a halfling child.Dwarfs and gnomes are the same species, merely a racial and cultural difference and may interbreed freely.Goblins are fey, not the standard D&D critter. As indeed are many of the Monster Manual creatures, who are slowly making a reappearance in the world after a 1400 year absence. The monolithic church that kept them out has begun fracturing and the walls of faith are crumbling... As a side result sorcerous bloodlines have also come back, and wizards have found that their spells have become easier. (The appearance of 3e was stangely congruent with this change...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> )Fey can breed with anything, being an incarnation of magic shaped by people's beliefs.Dragons do not create offspring with anything but dragons, or is there anything like the metallic/chromatic split between dragons - a dragon is a dragon is a dragon ranging across many, many types...And the Wars of Religion (Reformation - counter reformation) have begun.  Guns are fairly common - counting as exotic in the first 20 years of the war, becoming martial thereafter.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
