[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 2500496, member: 6957"] I actually worked out a list of what can breed with what in my homebrew world. Humans and elfs produce sterile hybrids. Humans and halflings produce humans, but two half-halflings have a 25% chance of producing a halfling. (Technically a halfling is a human with a double recessive trait.) Humans and dwarfs - no offspring. Humans and ogres - no offspring. (Ogres are not quite the normal D&D ogres.) Humans and orcs - fertile offspring. (Again, orcs are technically the same species as humans, differences are racial, not special.) Dwarfs and Gnomes are the same race, differences are cultural and dietary. (Dwarfs eat more meat, exercise more.) Dwarfs and Ogres would produce sterile hybrids. (Dwarfs are giants in this world, just very [i]short[/i] giants...) However in over a millenium of written history it has never happened. Humans, elfs, and orcs are the only races prone to rape. Fey, celestials, and fiends are fertile with everything, but only with one species at a time. Their bodies are essentially recreated for the purpose. Dragons breed only with dragons, and spawn in great numbers when they spawn at all. (Dragonspawn are fishlike amphibeans, going through multiple stages before becoming a full dragon.)
