Im playing TDE with my group since half a year, but after a while, I thought about something, that makes me wonder. Not just in this setting, but in general. What is ist with Half-Elve Offsprings? For example, if a half-elf and a elf have a child, is it a full fledged elf? Same you could ask for humans, for example.
This is why half-elves should have never happened. It only leads to more problems than anything good for any setting.

You could avoid such issues if you say they can't produce offspring. Its like when a horse and a donkey produce a mule.
Of course having a female half elf with high charisma without worrying about getting pregnant will be hell of a ride into magical realm.

I think, if a elf and half-elf make out, the offspring should be a elf, maybe with some tougher stature than other elves, but nonetheless a elf. Same goes for human.
I want quarter elf as a playable race.

I'd rule that if the half-elf's parents were a human and an elf, the child of the half-elf/elf couple still counts as a half-elf, but if the half-elf's parents were themselves a half-elf/elf couple, the kid is an elf for all intents and purposes. Same sort of thing on the human side.

I would play it off as "half-elf" lasts through two generations.
>elf x human = half-elf
>half-elf x human = half-elf-h, counts as half-elf with more human features
>half-elf-h x human = human-e, counts as human with miniscule elven features
>half-elf x elf = half-elf-e, counts as half-elf with more elven features
>half-elf-e x elf = elf-h, counts as elf with miniscule human features
for the sake of argument, going in the opposite direction (half-elf-h x elf) will just give you a normal half-elf (half-elf-prime), otherwise it gets too convoluted.as if it wasn't already.

Are there such things as half-dwarfs?

Dark Sun has Müls. That's all, for whatever reason.
>>53270297
Half-elf doesn't necessarily mean 50% elf, it just means you have enough elf in you to override whatever else you have, but not enough to be a full elf.
>>53271331
No. Dwarves reproduce via spores
>>53272681
No, they grow from stone.
