[Sonikal]

For a laugh, lets get our imaginations on overdrive and think of some cool Half-Human races, and who cares if it isn't physically possible, this is d20, its magic!. What I mean is lets think of their personality and apperance, not a whole wad of stats, people can do that with their favorites...

However they have a disturbing ghost like quality about their behaviour.

Their favored class is Bard.

Ankhume(Half-Ankheg)

I would really appreciate some replies... please...

 

[Ace32]

Wow, that is a LOT of material. When did you find the time to do this?

It looks nice though, a lot of thought went into it. Some of them I dont understand (half-Allip, half-Ankheg), I guess magic would make it work though.

I like the Half-Solar and others like it, they work well as flavor for the half-celestial template. Others could use some stats eventually - but yeah, you have some solid ideas going.
