The Dworcs were created during the demons' capture of the orcs. They decided to improve the strength of the orcs to use in there armies. One of the ways that they did this was to breed Male dwarves with female orcs. This created a race that was faster than a dwarf but slower than an orc, smarter than an orc yet dimmer than a dwarf, stronger than both, and much uglier than both. The dworcs were stronger than the cwarfs but much dimmer.
My other Dwarf-Orc hybrid, the Cwarves, are weaker and slower than the Dworcs, but much smarter and better looking.
They fought against their will in many a battle, until the demons were defeated at Reflendrion. The Dworcs and Cwarves were free. But there battle for acceptance had only just begun.

Or just post.
Male lions both have a growth gene and the female tiger no inhibitor, but the female lion and male tigers have growth inhibitors. The Liger (scenario 1) is larger than either parent. The tigon (scenario 2) is smaller than either one.
And both are mules, meaning genetically unable to reproduce, and very rare, hardly something you wish to base a PC race off.
EDIT: I mean to be honest this reminds me of the 2e Orog and the Ogrillon, both crosses between on ogre and an orc, but to be blunt even in 2e no one could really tell you the difference much less care as they were too busy just sticking it with a blade.
Mules and Hinny are the same way.

They are called Tyrakoth
Although I will admit that the Gnoblins and hobgnoblins were done before I had thought of them.
Most were not crossbreeds. Quite a few were actually alchemically created. Although, not even a healthy minority.
There is another version that is a cross between a Maeluth(dwarf with fiendish ancestry) and a Tanarukk(orc with demonic ancestry).
They are called Tyrakoth
I'm not mad man I just find your whole pantheon of absurd and contrived half breeds to be frustratingly and farcically ridiculous. I mean take the quoted post above, lets look at it logically. One what are the odds of a fiendish dwarf and a demonic orc meeting? Two what are the odds of them being of opposite gender? three what are the odds that they don't kill each other on sight not only because of the hatred between dwarves and orcs but also the hatred between demons and devils? Four what are the odds that they choose to produce a child? Five what are the odds that the child survives? and finally Six, what are the odds this happens often enough for there to be a race of these things? I just don't buy it, its ridiculous and absurd.

Come on, probabilities mean nothing when you're talking about LOVE.
Or wizards who can alchemically merge races...
Maeluths in mine are more often of demonic ancestry than devilish ancestry. This is mainly why.
I didn't say they were a specific race. Rather, they are more like the tieflings of the race.

He does have a point.
Wait, where have you been.
Wait, where have you been.
Around. The reason I haven't been contributing much is because you seem to have a pretty good grasp of these things, and I really didn't want to completely steal your ideas from you.
If you haven't read it already, Fireclave has written a pretty good guide to homebrewing races. It's well worth a read.
These Tyrakoth—did you stat them out? I'm curious to see how you handled them. Do they make good shrimp arthromancers? (I'm only asking because I'm an optimizer at heart, and the trogrogroll can't be the only real option here...)
I never saw this post until now. They favor barbarians and slightly less warlocks as well as hellmasters, not really so much arthromancers, though they do a little bit due to the abyssal blood.
Although, they are good at it.
Don't be discouraged. They are powerful at it.
This brings back fond and hilarious memories from twenty two years ago of a fellow named John Henry who created races such as the the half-elf troll and some sort of dwarf which had double-heels: made him more steady, see.
Yeah, I'm paying attention to this thread and a few others I've subscribed to as I trawl the forums, looking for stuff I can use in my own campaign. It's just that I can't think of anything helpful...don't worry, if I find anything I think you can use or have a sudden burst of inspiration, I'll drop a line. You've got some pretty good ideas—it seems to me all you've got to do is pull these ideas together, and flesh out the details.
Thanks, dude.

Dorvangron: Tanarukk-Azerblood cross.
Zarginonse: A Dworc who has a gnomish ancestor on the dwarf side, hiding until him to show its influence. These guys would be the best of my Dworcs to be an arthromancer.
But a Durzagon-Derro cross is much stronger.
Derro cannot cross with dworcs nor orcs.
Derro aren't mine.
Do you like these ideas.
Derro aren't mine.
I'm wondering what the point is.
You've thrown out a whole bunch of weird crossbreeds, haven't bothered to stat a single one, and now you're asking if the forum community likes them.
I'm going to be frank. Chances are, your campaign doesn't need all these races. Your party is going to be what, 5 people? If you've made a dozen new races on top of the existing ones, there's a strong chance that most, if not all of them, won't even be used!
Don't expend the effort of doing a PC writeup of each of these races. Find out which ones your players are interested in, then stat those ones up. The others can just use NPC rules.
Most of the Teams are at least a 10 people, most allies.
The guys are quite persuasive.
Strangely, most of their allies are either women, or mercenaries.
To be honest though, I can't stat races.
