Race Builder questions; half races


Rules Questions


I knew I would remember it. I decided on a different course of action already, but still, would be nice to see what the consensus is on this.

Can a race be two or more types? Such as Humanoid and Half-Construct, or Fey and Hal-Undead? What of both half types, such as Half-Construct and Half-Undead? Or, even with a third, such as Humanoid, Half Construct, and Half Undead?

And second, assuming the above is possible, what happens with the overlapped abilities? Things such as darkvision or lowlight vision would seem easy, you remove the cost of that ability from the combined total, since both types are 'charging' you for the ability separately. But what of identical or similar/overlapping resistances or other abilities/features based on the type? Just suck up the overlapping costs and abilities, for the chance to play a weird abomination?

Thoughts? Rules sources?
