Don't humans have the ability to fuck everything? It's why half elves and half orcs exist, but no non-human hybrids.
I hate that this exists
Ah, good old Book of Erotic Fantasy. It's so gloriously stupid that everyone should own a copy. That table is by far not the silliest part of the book.
It's only bested by the official sex rulebook for The Dark Eye, which is an April Fools joke that spiraled out of control and has actual rules for intercourse – deliberately bureaucratic and unsexy ones included purely as a "you asked for it" joke at the reader's expense.
Honestly, Elder Scrolls has it right: the offspring of two different races will always be the race of the mother, but with some traits of the father.
None of that funny crossbreeding stuff, just keep it simple.
So basically your mitochondria decides your species?
Personally I like keeping it a little more complicated. It's the same race as the mother, unless the mother is a ditto, in which case it's the same race as the father.
At first I read this as "these species can fuck each other". Then I realized that this is only concerning conception, all these species could fuck each other as they please.
Y or M means you can fuck that species. N means you can fuck that species without protection.
No way would I fuck a bugbear without some sort of protection...
I see that nymphs bang everything, makes sense. Sprites are only slowing down (with M for Maybe) at very large sized humanoids like Giants and Ogres, that’s pretty hardcore/disturbing.
If it applies to DnD's cosmology, than it has to mean with viable offspring, because half-dwarves canonically exist in the Darksun setting and they're called Muls.
Half dwarves exist in the default rules, they're just indistinguishable from dwarves. Supposedly they're actually pretty common.
There's a small text at the bottom explaining the chart.
Then the chart is just wrong (I know which book it's in and it is intended to apply to DnD).
Go on...
Dragons and Nymphs ~~don't~~ fuck around. Got it.
And fiends of course
How do you fuck a dragon?
With a car
I'm so glad this meme transcends platforms
Have you watched Shrek?
Adult dragons can shapeshift, so the same way you'd fuck anyone else.
Cum all over its trea$ur
By this I'm assuming lizard-folk lay eggs.
It never occurred me until now that half dwarves are not a thing
Muls from the Dark Sun setting are half dwarves. They’re sterile so I guess maybe they don’t count?
I was gonna say something about ligers and tigons, but then I did some research (looked it up on Wikipedia) and I learned some stuff. It has no relevance to my life, but it did clear up my misconception that hybrids are always sterile! So, in addition to making $125 donating plasma, making a new friend at the bus stop, and almost immediately getting drunk, I learned that some hybrids can be viable!
Be sure to continue your research with an image search, because they are cute as fuck.
Dryads: I'll breed with anything
Dryads (earlier that day): I don't care for Lizardfolk
Found the bard. ^
One day I'm going to play an asexual bard, just to subvert expectations.
This is the truth they don't want us to know.
You sure? I believe I remember there being a story about a halfling or a gnome drinking an enlarge potion or two to get hot and sweaty with some giantess.
Imagine being the halfling-giant and you're just some normal guy.
You're gonna have big feet no matter what
You know what they say about big feet...
That'll be from the human half of the half ling.
Do they fuck everything, or get fucked by everything? How that half orc came into existence wasn't a good time for everyone.
Haha, unexpectedly wholesome!
The best kind of unexpected!
Technically it implies that all these other races are diverged near humans, humans being relatively unchanged remain close enough to produce viable offspring, but with different non human races being diverged from each other to the point of non viability.
So basically the racial map for a D&D setting would have humans at the center, with half children in each of the spokes of a wheel, and every non human race being nodes located in the environment where they developed in extremity, and then from there you can build the environment under the premise of the conditions that developed elves or dwarves or orcs from the human starting point.
This would also have to include a backstory spanning tens of thousands of years.
Is a half halfling a quarterling?
And half a quarterling is a sixteenthling, just like music.
Why wouldn't it be?
well it depends on what the half in halfling is. if they're half human already they could be three-quarterslings which doesn't roll off the tounge very well.
Alternative: humans were specifically engineered to be able to half-breed with anything - even elemental beings - so that they'd be able to take over the world.
Too close to great replacement theory to be campaign safe IMO
You're thinking of dragons. Humans only have the ability to fuck elves, orcs, and dragons.
Depends on the setting, some have other half species
