Interspecies Romance/Tabletop Games/Dungeons & Dragons: Difference between revisions

* Mommy, where do half-[[Our Elves Are Better|elves]] come from?

* Duthka'gith, anyone?!

** For non [[Planescape|Planescapeers]], hybrids of Red Dragon and Githyanki, deliberately bred by the Lich-Queen Vlaakith.

* Al-Qadim, being [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|quasi-Arabic]] setting, has polygamy limited by tradition to four wives. That being ''Al-Qadim'', this number is justified by the legend about the first sha'ir, who had four [[Our Genies Are Different|genie]] wives -- one per element. Marriages between a mortal and a genie are not quite stuff of legends, though of course rare and many are troublesome -- given how capricious and powerful genies are, few can hope to hold one's interest for long, let alone be a more or less equal match. Mortals of Zakhara are immune to [[Fantastic Racism]], so romance between humanoids happens now and again, though rare except human-elf and human-orc pairs -- they are known to be inter-fertile, so it's much less of a big deal.

* While it doesn't get a lot of mention, the novels for the [[Dragonlance]] setting admit outright that humans can cross-breed with just about any of the humanoid races. Not only is a half-elf one of the main characters of the first trilogy, but several mentions have been made of half-kender, and at least one half-ogre, half-dwarf, half-goblin and half-gnome has each turned up over the course of the novels.
