That was one of those things that kind of bugs me about so many other hominid species in DnD and the like. You’re telling me there are this many species that are basically a human+X, but they’re all distinct and separate? How does that happen? Even with racism, you still get the horrors of sexual violence that will cross those taboos. We have half-elves, but not half-genasi? And all the half-elves are half elf, half human, not half something else? Same with the half-orcs? Same with tieflings, etc? If there are no actual physical blockages to human/elf pairings, and half-elves are so much longer lived while still reaching adulthood in the same number of years as a human, how many generations do you really think you can maintain a distinction between them? Give it a few hundred years and you won’t have elves and humans and half-elves, you’ll have a complex gradient of very elf to very human to very orcish to very dwarven to every every other ‘race’ on the setting. At a certain point races in DnD make even less sense than the imaginary ‘races’ of humans in the real world.
D&D actually has mongrelfolk as a hybrid of basically everything.
I hadn’t seen them before. Man, the DnD ‘races’ concept always gets weird in its relation to real world racism but… sheesh.
mandatory “pathfinder 2e fixes that”
How does it fix it? I’m familiar with the rules but not the lore
Partial fertility and magic influence. Orcs and elves aren’t interfertile. Genasi aren’t half-elementals, they’re humans with elemental influence. Perhaps the inherent faeness of elves prevents elf-genasi.
Or take a lineage and do whatever.
There is the ‘mule rule’ thing. It solves the issue in some ways, but still just seems odd somehow. Given the alternative is just *jazz hands* ‘because magic,’ though…
I’m a simple man. I see an opportunity for another feat, I take it.
“What you in for, boy?”
“Littering.”

“…And causing a nuisance.”
everyone comes back
Image is from SCP Confinement by Lord Bung, its on hiatus due to Bung having relationship issues that made a lot of his fans angry when the latest ep leaked and it was mostly soft core porn about SCPs
Oh, that’s a shame. There are a lot of scp’s that would make great porn!
Would and do, just google Mal-0 with safe search off
And the guy in the middle is arguably the most powerful SCP in the room. Whenever he is killed, he regenerates a new body to replace the old one, and he also might be host to some even more appalling eldritch abomination.
Thanks for context. It was giving me Ugly Americans vibes, but I knew that wasn’t correct.
My current character is a somewhat generic human fighter. It’s going well.
A human? Ugh, what a weirdo

Thanks, I thought it was Superjail.
There is only one of each of the other creatures as well, so?
Since it says “full human” I like to think the rest are like half-human or something, so they all technically have that in common, even if their other halves are all different
