What I don't understand is, there are elves and halfelves, orcs and halforcs, ogres and halfogres, but there aren't any lings. When will TSR publish a description and stat block for the Ling?

People is discussing fantasy half breeds and pen and paper games and all I focus on is the movie title refernces.
Okay, FATAL was already mentioned, I think a particular subset of hentai manga is self-understood in this context, so... Nobody mentioned Pun-Pun. You know, the Kobold that can do anything, reach anywhere and be infinitely divine thanks to the power of the allmighty loophole.
That's when fantasy gets weird. So this is how I play
-I want my character to be human~fox with dragon wings and red eyes
-But how...
-SCREW HOW, he exist, I'm him, and I roll the dice to punch anyone who asks
Im not into D&D stuff. However, i really like the D&D Monster Manual, is pretty cool. The information is overwhelming, and most of the time, is filled with technical stuff (such level, attacks and such), but its still cool.

It's large base of players and GMs.
Você jogou a isca. Agora vai ter que fazer um arco de RPG igual o Tim Buckley.

I always thought that the interbreeding issue is one of those things in tabletop RPG that one mustn't inquire about too heavily, for one's sake. Like the dimensional travelling or the Inamobible ro... ¡CLANG!
Isn't half-breeds are.. magically born creatures?
BTW, read some... doujins... about birth of Crossbreed Priscilla, lovely Dark Souls boss and cute character overall.

@Dmitry Solovyov: I asked some russian D&D/RPG-fans here and they directed me to http://rpg-world.org/ . I don't know how good this community really is, I am not much into RPGs.
And here i am, never played any table games because they are not popular in Russia (
And as i couldnt find any online playing of those i will probably die never playing one -_-
was it DnD that had the horrific story of that wizard that created a "hyperspace" cream or gel that could let humans have sex with fairy-kin?
Then he was thrown in the dungeons when the horrific twisted corpses of fairy's were discovered, ends up there were many experiments made for the right mix.

I Dont think Ogres and Orcs give most Human women a choice in the matter.

Magic experimentation gone awry would be something like half trolls, which is less a MATED template and more a FUSION template, where the mage just slapped a troll and the second half together to see what stuck

The first is consensual magic, where one party uses magic to polymorph or shapechange to a more compatible form - and since scrolls are dirt cheap, ANYBODY can afford to do this.
The second is magic experimentation gone awry.

[url=#user_comment_351241]@57r0n[/url]: Nah. Remember one key detail: magic
In D&D 3.5, there was only two EXPLICIT explanations for how half breeds worked in the grand scheme of things, and both involve the use of magic.

[url=#user_comment_351241]@57r0n[/url]: Orcs, ogres and goblins can totally be hot. Except in Pathfinder, where all ogres are disgusting, inbred mutants and goblins are effectively unisex boblehead dolls.
Also Jo, sometimes when I post comment it failed to appear on the comment section, I need to re-type the previous post since it was disappear after I posted it.
[url=#user_comment_351241]@57r0n[/url]: Actually there's a lot of cross breeding in the fantasy world NOT involving rape. There's one when an Elf girl with human husband visited the Obgyn and met with female dwarf with ogre husband and female Orc with human husband. You just watch too much hentai.
[url=#user_comment_351241]@57r0n[/url]: Not really, there's a lot of cross breeding between species in fantasy world sans rape. I remember an Elf girl with Human husband visited the Obgyn when she met with a Dwarf woman who have Ogre husband or female Orc with Human husband. You just watch too much hentai.
If you check medieval beliefs a lot of weird things can mate and generate an offspring including an ant and a lion.
There are other stuff like birds that grow from trees listed side to side to other animals like bees (that are birds born from oxen) http://bestiary.ca/beasts/beastalphashort.htm

[url=#user_comment_351241]@57r0n[/url]: Naw, you know in D&D orcs, ogre and goblins aren't necessarily evil.
I guess all myhtos is wrong, and actually whichever god is at work in D&D worlds created humans first, and then derived all other races from the human.
That's why there are half-humans half-whatheveryouwant.
Or maybe they created humans last to counter declining birthrates...
there are 897 dysfunctional/contradictory rules in D&D 3.5

I think that mate is a kind word for rape. I understand a human falling in love for a more human-like creature like elves, dwarves or even a halfling. But when the mate is an orc, ogre, goblin it's difficult to believe in consensual sex.
