ok long story short i'm looking to make a race out of the core races + 4 non core races, and i was wondering about the whole breedin process, like if you breed a fully blooded orc and a fully blooded elf you would get a half orc half elf, but theres a way to determin what feats it gets from its parents right?, if someone could kindly bring me p to speed that would be great

Feats? Usualy you don't get any feats based on race.

Um what you describe is called a mongrelman just use that.

Elves are immune to sleep, etc as a racial trait, not because of a feat.

I would presume that an elf and an orc cannot interbreed in this instance, as there's no rules-way to create such ... which means, if it is possible, it's in the hands of the individual DM, and thus his call. :)

The intense suckitude of combining the two worst races in the PHB, the half-elf and half-orc, would either result in the weakest imagineable race ... or -1x-1=1 and it would be the meanest thing that ever walked the planet.

just because i used half elf half orc as an example doesn't mean thats the race i was creating, this i the race i want made

1/10 orc +1/10 elf +1/10 gnome +1/10 dwarf +1/10 vampire +1/10 werewolf +1/10 gargoyle +1/10 halfling + 1/10 human + 1/10 Kolbold = Dusk Stalker (Final Race)



Base Land Speed 25 feet(2 feet), Base Land Speed 50 feet (4 feet)
-2 Charisma,
Low Light Vision,
Orc Blood,
Elven Blood,
+2 Listen Checks, Search & Spot
Blood Drain for 1 Con damage and gain 1 HP,
can't transform in direct contact or sunlight, if in shadows, Dusk, Dawn or night it can transform
+1 Natural Armor,
looses 1hp on contact with sunlight
Natural Weapons: 1d4 damage claw attack and 1d6 damage bite attack
Full Attack: 1d4 damage claw & 1d4 damage claw attack and 1d6 damage bite attack
(Due to having Claw like hands it is capable of holding weapons so it can use something like a short sword, in one hand then can continue to use claws and bite) (bite can also perform blood drain in the same turn Players decision)


(Transformation 1: combat ) Can transform 1/day for 10 minutes
and gain 2d6 damage claw attack
and 1d8 damage bite attack
and DR 3/magic,
Reverts on contact with sunlight
(if the 10 minutes period is not yet complete it can transform again untill the whole 10 minutes is used)


(Transformation 2: sleep)
Becomes an unwakeable statue for 8 hours
starting at midnight instead of sleeping gaining DR 10/- during this time
+10 natural armor
requires STR check to move


ok this is what i got it looking like so far, in my mind

about 4'6, humanoid style monster, it can stand on its back legs but its body arches forwards. it has a black / greenish leather type skin, how ever it inherits fur from the werewolf side, aswell as transformation, the fur is a thick soft greyish red colour, this only covers the torso and back of the neck, the face displays the skin colour fulled showing the eyes as completely diffrent from the core races, the coloured part of the eye would be completely white and the white part of the eye will be black (look in the mirror you'll know what i mean), the nose streches along the kolbold beek and then curves under to to form the roof of the mouth, it has 6 fangs medium in length, just slightly shorter than a vampires, but as thick as a werewolf, it is capable of walking on all 4's, this doesn't feel odd in anyway to it but perfers to walk on back legs, also its hind feet are
the same as its hands, and have the same flexibility, but due to its blood line it perfers to stand on them

Mongrelman. They're a mish-mash of an untold number of races. Just use what it says about them in Races of Destiny. Please.
