Some of the reasons being biological and some being social (the Arali Elves just being too snooty overall to even consider breeding with lesser races - even other types of elves).However, biological breeding is not always the only way to have a half-breed character. If a player comes up with a good background reason, I would surely allow other types of half-breeds than those normally possible. Perhaps the character is the result of magical experimentation and escaped from the lab when he was young, or perhaps he was fused with another person during a magical ritual gone awry. The possibilities are huge, and unique characters can be extremely fun to play (so long as they are not unbalanced).So..... my answer has to be a "Yes".</blockquote>
