[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 9112550, member: 7040132"] In BG3 I chose a half-drow over drow for two reasons: The big one is that I liked the face design better, and second, I felt that proficiency with a shield would be helpful for AC. (Half-elves get a "Civil Militia" ability that adds some proficiencies). If there were more face options that I liked, I would not have cared whether the character was a drow or a half-drow. Mixed species characters should count as both species, not be something different that are not those species. It's fine if they genetically favor one parent or the other for special abilities and they are cosmetically varied in appearance. I think for 2024 it would be good for Mixed Parentage characters to choose between updated Custom Lineage rules from Tasha's, and an updated version of the rules in playtest packet 1, or somehow merge the two into a rule for Mixed and Chimeric lineage.
