[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 6295376, member: 25619"] In my campaign: -- Elves & half-elves v. half-orcs & orcs can't interbreed. It's a rule of the universe. (The creations of enemy gods.) -- Dwarves interbreed with no one. Ditto on Gnomes. -- Goblinoids can presumably interbreed, but you'd likely just get more of the weaker version, as in goblin + hobgoblin = goblin, goblin + bugbear = goblin. Can goblinoids interbreed with orcs? Probably. Can trolls or ogres interbreed with others? Nope. -- Halflings are actual the middle ground -- Tallfellows are part elvish, Stouts part Dwarvish, and Hairfoots part gnome. Presumably they can mix with human too, resulting in short humans? Probably can't mix with orcs. -- Mongrelmen, who can explain their origin, but they do exist. Magical experiments? Magic runoff contaminating the drinking water? -- There is no such thing as half-dragons. Polymorph doesn't make it possible. It's just another rule of the universe, as in the DM finds the concept annoying. :) In this situation of an old, old campaign going aquatic, I'd go for something different . . . I've always wanted a selkie PC, and she could claim to be something else, as they are shapechangers. [/QUOTE]
