Best official race that covers the half/half is the Dracnoinds from phase world, nightvision, see invi, resistant to fire & cold, natural psychics OR magics plus there vunerabilities are the same as a dragon.

If you don't like them and you want to create the half-breed you could use there stats are a bases fo the design?

How does a half-dragon come about anyway? Is it anything like what happened in Shrek?

I am glad someone found a cleaner answer than the one I thought of.


And instead of just saying "go play D&D" it could have been pointed out that genetics is a factor in the various races of PB not being able to procreate. otherwise you gould get troll-centaurs and Elf-goblins.

Yes, thank gawd for Kev's dissicion to leave out half-breeds (except on very rare ones). Didn't mean to sound stand offish there but the rules are the rules.



BTW, the site pblackcrow links to in his post is a cool site, I bookmarked myself last year.

Yeah, and I just recently caught some flak for asking for advice on creating a GM-approved NPC hybrid elemental.

While I can accept that canon states no hybrids, any GM who feels froggy can toss that rule out the window. Therefore it seems like it would be more polite to respond with "If you're looking for a canon answer, it's not possible; however if you're looking at making a house RCC, here's some ideas....."

These games are about having fun and being creative, after all.

In case you haven't noticed, half-breeds are a sore point with many people.
Personally, I feel that allowing half-breeds (usually) either shows a lack of knowledge of basic biology, or that the designer just wants a reason for making munchy characters that can pass for human (if only in a dark room).

If you want to make half-breeds, my suggestion is that you buy AtB and look up rules for Chimera, and work from there.

I allow crossbreeds in my campaigns, so long as it's reasonable. Half-dragons aren't so bad (remember: they're *half*, so they aren't as powerful), and half-elves were always my favorite (don't always have to be a stuck-up daisy eater).

And if they keep pointing to the "no half-breeds" rule, then how come they went and created Half-Naga humans from, I think, China 1?

The one thing I always deny my players are half-demons. I tried that once and 2/3rds of my players ended up with parents that went to Hades or Dyval without any pants.
