Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
Putting aside your wanton catgirl slaughtering, , I believe in canonical d&d, half-elf isn't literal. A half-elf, quarter-elf, or eighth-elf, and etcetera to an unspecified amount of elfiness, all use the same rules.
Of course, Coffee can change anything she wants. xDRecent Homebrew: The Socialite | The Crystalline: Memory Altering Construct Race | Sanguine Hand, a ToB Discipline of blood and cruelty

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
That is completely true, but half elves are as generic as any race (Assuming any stat plusses or minuses are mutations). However, by real genetics, such a race would be widely varied. D&D uses simplified crossings, thus my idea was simplified. Goodness, if real genetics would be applied to half-elves, each one would be enormously different....
Please do not call me drak. It irritates me.

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
Okay, Gicko, Elves are on average a foot shorter than human's.
And for the other things, there is an actual rule in DnD about this. Children concieved by a half-elf and either one of the other species will result in the full blooded species. Meaning that in the game, the child would have all the same stats as the Human/Elf that is married with the Half-Elf. However, the child will have some characteristics of the other species as well. A human child may have slight tips at the ears as well as a slight elven apperance while the Elf child may have slightly rounded at the top ears and be slighlty taller than normal.

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
It's actually even worse. Some traits may be expressed only if they come from the mother, and some traits may be expressed only if the came from the father. This is due to something called genomic imprinting which can 'tag' genes so they're not expressed. Different genes are tagged in mothers and fathers.
This is why mules and hinnys are different.
And catgirls are only killed if real-world physics is debated. Given Coffee's aversion to physics, this should probably be avoided.Avatar by CoffeeIncluded

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
I think 1/4 elves and 3/4 elves are considered half-elves, in the Eberron campaign setting book, they got a half-elf born to an elf and a half-elf as a sample NPC.

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
Personally I like to go with half eles being incredibly varied and unpredictable and any mix of elves and humans being "hybrids" and it being an individual's opinion as to whether they're half elves or humans with elven relatives or whatever - like human nationality, basically. My understanding of d&d rules is that you can pretty much take 'em or leave 'em depending on your group and campaign anyway. As for Aequar half elves and their offspring.... yeah, we basically just have to make up our minds for ourselves until Coffee mentions anything about it.
Erm... not to be incredibly egocentric or anything, but did anybody notice the fancomic page I posted? It has a half elf in it...

I liked it, but I forget where in the plot it's from. DXD

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
However, I think 1/8 elves are human and 7/8 elves are elf.

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
It's an original scene so basically it didn't happen. The imaginary setting is pre-Kylie exposition though although at the same time possibly in a version of the Murphy's Law universe where Janine at least suspects Lloyd isn't straight? It's hypothetical off-panel/ free time time (maybe after the love potion debacle but before Saphrin's little friendly talk with the guys? in the end it's essentially irrevelent.) I wrote it and drew the base sketches very shortly after the following conversation:
Then life intervened until about yesterday and I couldn't do much about it. (An old spice commercial spoof would have been funny but I think I'm too lazy to do one for y'all).
Part one is on page 19 I think?

Haha, I think I'm gonna enjoy this, Eleanor.
As for the genetics...I guess you should think of mixed-breed dogs. Except that in this case, most of the genes are codominant.My webcomic!

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
[looks back at comic and sees perfectly platonic conversation between two women]
Huh.
[looks back at name of poster who claimed comic looked like it was going in a lesbian direction]
Ah.
Spot of wishful thinking there methinks, Asta.
Thanks for this; I was going to link back to the comic that gave her name and then couldn't find it so it's probably an easier detail to forget than I first thought!
Mixed-breed dogs was actually what I base my thoughts on what half-elves should be like -take the labradoodle for a popular example; supposedly you breed a lab and a poodle and you get a desperately willing to please, obedient and loyal dog (labrador characteristics, although our first lab was only willing to please herself, so this varies even within labs) which is very bright and has fur that does not cast and thus should be more suited to owners with mild allergies (poodle characteristics) but sometimes you just get a dumb stubborn dog who sheds like mad (the 'bad' characteristics of both - labs can be pretty smart but poodles are meant to be smarter and I can vouch for labs being heavy shedders from personal experience). I adore dogs of all shapes and sizes so if I can relate something back to dogs, or more specifically my own dogs or ones I walk for other people, I often will.
And I'm working on page three now so if I don't get too distracted I'll probably be posting it later tonight. In retrospect the pages would probably work best if I'd just waited and posted them all as links in one post, but I've started so I'll finish...

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
Hahaha. No, I did think when I finished that page that it gave off a kind of weird slash-fic vibe but I was hoping that was just me because I honestly didn't write it with that in mind Should have known you'd have pointed it out if you were going to comment on it. Thanks for taking the time to read it anyhoo!
EDITED TO ADD:
Page three is ready.
Spoiler
I wasn't kidding when I said this thing wrote itself. The ideas just came to me a little faster than I was working - it was a bit of a CoffeeIncluded moment! (with admittedly weirder results)
Also, points to anybody who gets the name reference. Special imaginary internet points. If Coffee's online when this goes up I hope she'll get it at least...
Larger, clearer version is here
...And Asta? I wrote the plot and dialogue to all four pages of this a while ago, but I positioned Janine's left hand in panel 1 with you in mind. (Still entirely U/PG content guys, no worries)

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
Well, sometimes people like Janine only get that you mean "No!" if you stomp on them and their feelings much like he just did. That being said, it still makes you feel bad for having to hurt their feelings.
So: aaaawwwww, poor Janine!Witty sig here nosey, aren't ya?

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
Why, thank you!
I'm fairly sure you'd need a not insignificant amount of product to support such a glorious 'tache without the aid of magic but hey ho... the glory of fantasy settings and cartoony styles...
(A tiny curlicue of the moustache is visible in page two if you look hard enough but I can't really see how it could have been the size it is now and not have been a little more visible from the back. I claim artistic lisence... unless it was still growing in page 2...?)
Part of me thinks that this is indeed what she needs, although Lloyd's practically already done it in the real comic so... I dunno. I guess we've not really seen her come on to him strongly since the scene with Matt and the cookies though, have we? Can't remember.
It still comes across as rather harsh, particularly as in this scenario she wasn't even doing anything (apart from introducing him in terms that made it clear that she still "liked" him)... Ouch.
