Could a half orc/half dwarf hybrid work well? It seems like it'd be cool to me.

So it could happen at any time always

That's just a very hairy shorter orc
It wouldn't work very well, as Orcs prefer to rape Elves instead.

I think the end result would be pretty much like Trolls in ElfQuest: dwarf-sized, green, nasty, bearded creatures with a penchant for metallurgy, gemstones and backstabbing.
But you have to call it a dork for extra funnies, intentionally miss spelt so everyone knows you're doing it ironically

The 5e MM explicitly calls out dwarves as a potential progenitors for half-orcs, so, yeah, it's just fine and dandy in 5e. It's just assumed that dwarf/orcs are no different, stat-wise, to human/orcs.
What about half orc/half gnome?

Sound painful.

I had a player try to argue that then demand I give him weapon familiarity. The player was highly autistic though. I don't say that in a /tg/ kind of way, I say it in a "almost too autistic to function in society" kind of way.

So is a half orc half dwarf called a dork?
In 3.5 Midnight D&D they're called "Dworgs" and they're sort of awesome...
Why haven't all the species interbred with each other and formed a single "race"?
>>52747171
sterile like ligers and mules perhaps?
>>52739203
As painful as a half red dragon/ half pixie?
>>52748587
At least one of the partners can shapeshift in this pairing.
>>52748623
Red dragons can't and pixies can't either in the good editions.

5e says most orc half-breeds come out full orc because they're horrible rape monsters made to override everyone else. It's only a few races where orc genes don't always come out dominant
I a half orc dragon
No self respecting dwarf would ever breed with the greenemy

The Orc's a pretty big gal
