I do want more official rules for customizing character concepts.
It seems to me, you yourself are interpolating your own interpretation into the rules (eisegesis), when actually your interpretation remains absent from the Rules As Written.
Regarding the Rules As Written, the design space for the Elf-Orc remains a desideratum.
Note, how your interpretation gets problematic with regard to Eladrin-Orc. Eladrin can be either fey or humanoid. Your interpretation would mean sometimes the Eladrin become Half-Orcs or Full-Orcs but fey Eladrin dont.
Even according to your own problematic interpretation, if the fey Eladrin Elf is the parentage for this Elf-Orc Grugach (actually a decent allusion to the Forgotten Realms lore for the Wild Elf!), then the design space for a distinctive Elf-Orc remains.
Because you keep implying that anyone who disagrees with your own interpretation of the rules is "untraditional" (wrong)?Seriously, I am at the point I really don't get why you keep trying to justify this against my views?
