a.k.a. taints table
Players are allowed to describe their character's appearance; you don't need a table to determine the appearance of your taint.

a.k.a. taints table
Which to me was a colossal disappointment; I was hoping for something better than I'd already made up on my own, and didn't get it. Things it lacked (or didn't do nearly well enough):
- a comprehensive chart of what can breed with what, including monsters, deities, etc.*, and chances of conception for each combination
- a genetics chart and some guidelines to indicate how past interbreeding might affect descendants (e.g. what are the mechanical and-or fluff effects if I am 1/16 Centaur?)*
- a continuation of said genetics chart showing which racial bloodlines tend to be recessive and which are dominant
- a table for use during initial roll-up to determine whether my character is pure in its race or whether it has some odd genetics in its background (a.k.a. taints table)*
- a childbirth table giving gender chance by race, deformity chance, twins-triplets-etc. chance, stillbirth chance, etc.*
- I seem to recall they gave some guidelines on what a child's eventual core 6 stats would probably be if those of the parents were known*, but I also recall it not being very well thought through
* - these are things I've put together myself over the years, but I'd prefer something from a professional designer instead of my homebrew.
