[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9080747, member: 7006"] I happen to agree with you on this. Because I happen to believe species mechanics on the whole are essentially merely window dressing... I think the game [I]should[/I] give a 'Mixed Ancestry' species write-up and select one or two features from each species in the new PHB that are the exchangeable since no combination of them could hope to overpower anything. So you select a foundational species to start with and then swap out one or two features taken from the other parent. They pretty much already do the same thing for Multiclassing, so why they wouldn't do it for Mixed Ancestry is beyond me. It removes the issue of the word "Half-" from any species write-up, it allows for more parental pairings than just human/elf and human/orc, and it gives a lot of people what they want. And those of us who don't particular care for it can just ignore one species write-up rather than two. [/QUOTE]
