If there are no half-elves or half-orcs will there be Tieflings (half fiends)?

[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9081206, member: 7034710"] i remember finding this lineage builder list in (presumably your) thread with this in a good while back and honestly i loved it, i've still got it bookmarked and sometime go back to play with it, i spent a good while messing around building lineages with it when i first found it (i would add a breath weapon trait though), the existing custom lineage is so anemic in what you can build with it, something similar that could be implemented for creating cross-species for existing lineages is give every individual species trait a value of X points, then building the offspring you get the average point score between the two parents and pick traits from between the parent species (anything granted by both parents is automatically granted to the offspring but not accounted in the total point score of the parent species for buying traits). [S]trait values are grabbed out the air don't look too deeply at them[/S] Vuman: any skill [1], feat [4]-----------------total: 5 points WoodElf: darkvision [1], fey ancestry [2], trance [0/ribbon], keen senses[1], elf weapon prof[1], fleet of foot[1], mask of the wild[1],-----------------------------------total: 7 points and so i can build my half elf using 6 points using the traits from between the parents for perhaps: Half-elf: feat [4], trance[0/ribbon], keen senses[1] elf weapon prof[1]--------------------------total: 6 points or Half-elf: any skill[1], darkvision[1], fey ancestry[2], fleet of foot[1], mask of the wild[1]--------total: 6 points yes i do recognise you could in fact use this to build a half-elf with all the traits of a human plus more, maybe there would be a clause about not being able to take all the traits available from one parent? i dunno 🤷♂️ [/QUOTE]
