Half-Dwarves and Half-Gnomes...

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Dwarves are too proud of their heritage to participate in all that uncontrolled crossbreeding -- unlike nambly-pamby elves and dragons, who will apparently shag anything that moves.. Besides, thems beardless gnome and human women are UGLY!

I distinctly remember a wierd "Half Dwarf" called "Muls" from the Dark Sun 2nd Edition Campaign Setting.

They were REALLY rather bizarre.

Not sure if that helps.

I didn't think they were that weird. They were particularly tough and hardy, and inherited their dwarven parent's hairlessness.

They were all male, and were infertile, as well.

They were known for making pretty decent gladiators.

The Midnight campaign setting has some interesting halfsies. As I recall, there's a half-dwarf/half-gnome race, a half-halfling/half-elf race, and a brutal half-dwarf/half-orc race.

Dwarf and half-orc? Now, tell me that was consensual.

Okay, that was consensual

*thinks breeding ANYTHING with a gnome is a bad idea* Mostly because gnomes deserve to be fodder for gnolls.

In the Arcanis campaign setting, the gnomes are "the twisted offspring of humans and dwarves". They tend to be physically deformed and in constant pain, but get some interesting feats and racial abilities based on that.

See I knew there was a reason I liked Arcanis besides they included Forsaken Elves...or was that another setting?

In any case, that's a cool fact.

Thanks Cal.

Very cool idea. Doesn't work for where I'm going, but still cool.

As for creating my own race, I'm sorry I wasn't clear, but I'm a lazy dog, with an enormous world to build, and I'm looking for cheats/helps/plagarizing others works. I might not worry about ti too much, or just miz and match the races until I come up with what I want in the end, I'm just sniffing around for finshed works...
