Drow Mating ??

[melkoriii]

If a Orc can breed with a Human and a Elf/Drow can breed with a Human. => An Orc can Breed with a Elf/Drow.

If species A is compatible with species B, and species B is compatible with species C, then species A is compatible with species C.


I like at most all the humaniods in D&D like we look at Dogs.

You can breed any two together. You just maynot like what you get.

Also Humans can breed with Giants (aka Half-Ginats Dark Sun)

So you could have a Half-Drow/ Half-Giant too.

Or just a mut of a (Drow,Orc,Human,Giant,Dwarf,Gnome,Halfling(ouch),Elf,Goblin,Oger)

Amazzingly it looks much like a human.

Why not?

I played a Drow/Orc crossbreed back in 2nd Ed. It was fun.

Since in the tolkein tradition from which all of current D&D is spawned Orcs are corrupted versions of elves, we figured it was a no-brainer that drow and orcs could intermingle and produce offspring.

Of course being the offspring of two hated races was not easy, but then I wasn't playing some lame Drizz't clone, so I didn't much care. I was happy to kill anyone who had an issue with my character.

We could probably do it much more effectively in 3e, given the nice rules breakdowns in Savage Species, and likely could even make it balanced.

I believe the Muls of Dark Sun were Half-Dwarves/Half-Humans.

I'm not really sure why this would be something to get upset over. By the rules I'd say it's probably not possible, though not explicitely prohibited.

In my own game the group has run into a half-orc helf-elf. (Well, maybe Drow, it's never really been questioned). Given that character also had a brother who was apparently half-orc half-halfling, the group knew there was some perverted magic afoot.

Yes they are.

Just my 2 cents

Perhaps under very special circumstances a mating can occur.

"Pass me another elf, Sergeant. This one's split."

If a Orc can breed with a Human and a Elf/Drow can breed with a Human. => An Orc can Breed with a Elf/Drow.

If species A is compatible with species B, and species B is compatible with species C, then species A is compatible with species C.

Do you have any proof that mating would be an equivalency relation?

 

[Caliber]

Well, in the real world, when creature A can mate with creature B, and creature B can mate with creature C, its pretty safe to assume creature A can mate with creature C.

But thats real life. I'm sure several people will say you can't apply real life science to a game.

If a Orc can breed with a Human and a Elf/Drow can breed with a Human. => An Orc can Breed with a Elf/Drow.

If species A is compatible with species B, and species B is compatible with species C, then species A is compatible with species C.

In the real world this is usally but not always the case some subspecies may be able to mate and produce offspring with other subspecies who are not fertil together. This can be becuase of genetic or physiological reasons. It takes very little genetic variation to produce zygotes incapable of development.

Can you give me an exgample?

From what I understand, there can be soo little differance that if A can with B and B with C then A can with C.

They may have physical problems (Chihuahua and Great Dain)
But they are geneticly compadible.
