[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6295279, member: 4937"] I wouldn't allow it, as its not one of the explicitly allowed hybridizations. Goblins eat elves because they are no good for breeding or as slaves. However, it's your world. It's hard to mechanically marry the two races because half-orc and half-elf both suck. This is the best I can come up with: -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma. • Medium: As Medium creatures, Orfs have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. • Orf base land speed is 30 feet. • Darkvision: Orfs can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and half-orcs can function just fine with no light at all. • Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects, and a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells or effects. • +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks. • +1 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. • Elven and Orc Blood: For all effects related to race, a Orf is considered an elf and an orc. • Automatic Languages: Common, Orcish and Elven. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic). • Favored Class: Any. When determining whether a multiclass Orf takes an experience point penalty, her highest-level class does not count. Alternately you could just do regularly half-orc stats and add something like: ELFIN BLOOD [TRAIT] You have an elfin ancestor, and the blood of that ancestor flows with unusual strength in you. Prerequisite: You may not take this advantage if you are elfin or half-elfin. Benefit: For all special abilities and effects, you are considered an elf. For example, you can use elfin weapons and magic items with racially specific elfin powers as if you were an elf. You may also choose one of the following special abilities: treat Empathy (animal) as a class skill, or a +1 racial bonus to listen, spot, and search checks, or low light vision. [/QUOTE]
