Go figure. You can now have a half-ooze, half-harpie paladin, or some such. I dunno. Not a bad idea, but as always, it gets ruined when people take it too far and just start spewing out garbage.Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-84727346536467821732008-10-02T15:17:00.000+08:002008-10-02T15:17:00.000+08:00Dark Sun had a race called 'Muls' who were rather ...Dark Sun had a race called 'Muls' who were rather like half-dwarves. <BR/><BR/>One of my pet projects is to create some sort of modular system for racial hybrids, so you could have elf/hobgoblin, goblin/halfling, human/bugbear, gnome/orc combinations or whatever else you wanted to come up with.noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-14102201505979155392008-10-02T15:13:00.000+08:002008-10-02T15:13:00.000+08:00Something at the back of my mind is saying "Dark S...Something at the back of my mind is saying "Dark Sun", so there may have been half-dwarfs in that, but that setting was so gonzo in places that I don't think it counts. It is very strange that half-dwarfs don't come up more often; perhaps it's because dwarfs are generally portrayed as less alien than elves are, so there's less potential in exploring a hybrid.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-37906731351793424822008-10-02T09:00:00.000+08:002008-10-02T09:00:00.000+08:00Which is weird, eh?

I'm not saying it floats my boat in particular, or even at alll, but it must occasionally occur that a dwarf and human end up being more than just good friends.noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-53617659513736726602008-10-02T02:04:00.000+08:002008-10-02T02:04:00.000+08:00It's funny, half-elves have been in the game since...It's funny, half-elves have been in the game since the beginning, but I don't think I've ever seen half-dwarf rules until now, even as house rules.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
