How to stack races?

[TabulaRasa]

Are there any rules on stacking races?
Ex. If I want to make a Half ogre/orc instead of an Half Ogre/human.
Or what about a half orc/elf, or ogre/elf ? you get the picture
Do I just add benefits and draw backs or what?

Hey Geoff, remember that conversation we had about when somebody would come up with the bright idea of multi-racing?

I win.

There are rules for stacking races. They're called templates.

If there isn't a template for it, you'd have to make one.

I'm not aware of a half-ogre template.

Not really, you have to figure it out if the races isn't already somewhere.

Ex. If I want to make a Half ogre/orc instead of an Half Ogre/human.

They're called orogs, and AFAIK are in Races of Faerûn.

Or what about a half orc/elf, or ogre/elf ?

They're impossible, I'd say. Both Corellon and Gruumsh will take measures if such a thing should happen.

Do I just add benefits and draw backs or what?

Sometims, but often you have to think what should get into the mix and what should stay out.

I think there's a half orc template in Book of Templates that you could apply to races for this.

Now I have read that article. But it seems much to simple.

Then I just have to make my own rules. I just thought that the rules was made already.

Where's the 'hong "like a half-storm giant/half-tarrasque" Ooi' I'm expecting?
