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

* ''[[Dragonlance]]'' is not immune from this trope: the Dragonlance setting features 'Gully Dwarves', allegedly the offspring of gnomes and dwarves. Aside from being a strange combination, Gully Dwarves are incredibly ''stupid'' creatures, depicted as being totally incapable of counting higher than two. Those that ''can'' count higher than two tend to lick beer from tavern floors.

* The changeling race, from the [[Eberron]] campaign setting of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', are theorized to be descended from the viable offspring of humans and dopplegangers coupling, though this is unconfirmed (various factions have their own varying theories about why, exactly, changelings exist).

* Note that in Standard D&D this is explicitly not the case: Dopplegangers are a [[One-Gender Race]] that breed with other races, their children turn into Dopplegangers at puberty.

* Shifters or "beastkin" are similarly referred to as being a "mixed race" of lycanthropes and humans, although this, too, is unconfirmed and fiercely denied by shifters who belong to the anti-lycanthropic [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|Church of the Silver Flame]]. (Such shifters insist that they existed first and lycanthropes are an unholy union of humans and shifters.)
