Elven and Orcish Heritage Feats

[Morgenstern]

Added to wiki (with slight rules-grammar corrections).

I also wanted to suggest looking at the Offshoot feats (same tree on the wiki), for possible ideas on formating these benefits.

Having seen the Elf Blood and Orc Blood feats, I think I still prefer my 2-feat chains

Fair enough, but I think we had different goals and limitations The "value" scale of the Blood feats is different from the Heritage/Legacy feats, per the FC 2nd printing species feat balancing, and they're intended so someone can be a half-ogre or half-elf with investment of a single feat. I didn't think it was particularly fair to ask a character who wanted to be a "full" half-orc out the gate to be a Sorcerer, or wait til Level 3.

Oh, I totally agree  Still, the great wealth of feats offered up in the AC makes me think a lot more games will be running with the fast feats & proficiencies options set to on.

No doubt! I think we quadrupled the number of tricks in the game with this book...

I have the strange urge to see what a pech-blooded Giant and a giant-blooded Pech would look/play like

With the group I play with this will be the first thing pondered as a group after the book hits.

It makes that Giantess with the Pech picture [page 47] take on a whole new possible subtext, which I'm sure will be mentioned too.

You didn't start it. There's whole fettish communities decated to it.

Dammit, Kren, let me have my moment of infamy!

In Wyrmstone, at least, the answer is "like a human"

Now I'm having traumatic flashbacks to hot halfing-on-orc action in Grunts (actual book title, sorry). Thanks a lot.

Didn't one of the official FR books have a halfling brothel?  I know that gave me disturbing thoughts after reading it. What sort of person goes to a brothel full of a race of people described as looking like human children? Pech-Blooded as a feat makes me wonder similar things.  Of course it's only marginally different from the stereotype Half-Orc (& many half-elves) being the product of rape, probably the whole concept of half-breeds is just disturbing when you think too deeply on it.

...probably the whole concept of half-breeds is just disturbing when you think too deeply on it.

Only some of them in some contexts.  The FR halfling brothel, yeah, but if halflings were described differently it wouldn't be that bad.  Similarly half-orcs aren't a problem if you assume a setting where animosity is not the usual logical way for the two to get together.

Of course then you get the other sort of ugly backstory.......and frankly Chief Grukgruk not want to dwell on that.

We're talking about a world where halflings are fairly common, however. It would seem weird to us, but it may be (somewhat) normal to them. Also, don't forget about primordial dwarfism. Some of the people with that condition could pass for halflings. There's one lady in Australia who has had a child with her normal sized husband.

In a similar vein, is a 50 year old female elf still a cougar if she still looks like she's in her 20's?

*cough* Moving on...
