So, what's your opinion about halfbreeds in your games? I've had DMs that vary wildly on this topic, some hate even using half-orcs, opting instead to just make them full orcs, while some DMs use the fuck out of those half-whatever templates all the time and love it. How do you feel about it overall?

I think we have this thread every thread. At least about half-elves.
Half-orcs somewhat makes sense where orcs are full evil and you wouldn't be able to play a normal orc. Though nothing is stopping one to come up with another + 2 STR race. Half-breeds in general are shit, special snowflakes and offer little to nothing to the table in lore and crunch. They only make sense where the non-human half would be too strong or otherworldy to be a character, like Aasimar.

They occupy a nice narrative space, letting you play someone tron between differing cultures. As a gm they're useful for showing populations melding over time. It only really gets to be a problem when things that really don't have a significant presence in the narrative are spitting out halfbreeds. Like how many times are mindflayer halfbreeds gonna be relevant in a typical campaign? Why are angels even spawning bastard children? Are they supposed to be god's chosen bastards? 's argument for aasimar is the exact reason I wouldn't allow such a halfbreed. It creates the very same snowflake qualities user apparently thinks more mundane halfbreeds are prone to.
