[QUOTE="Flyspeck23, post: 1618144, member: 10648"] I leave that to the race in question... ;) Well, for me it's species - if they can't produce offspring, they're of two different races/species. Because it's fantasy, there can be half-elves and half-orcs and the like, but personally I don't go overboard with this concept. Generally, I don't like "sub-species". Wood elves, moon elves, silver elves, wild elves, dark elves, desert elves, snow elves, high elves, average elves, tolkien elves, salat elves, ... [i]that's[/i] what I call ridiculous. 8.5 or so. Now that's a really tough question. Remember that the core rules feature more than seven races, because there are orcs, goblinoids etc. For me to introduce a race to my homebrew, it must either be "standard fantasy" or in some way beneficial (read: serve a purpose) to the setting (current example: I really like the kalashtar from eberron). Under normal circumstances you won't hear any cries for "More races!" from me - and definetly not for Eberron. But I'd guess people ask for how to include the XPH races into Eberron, because "If it's D&D, it's Eberron"... [/QUOTE]
