Petition for a Boon for Non-human Half Orcs and Half Elves.

[Gamerskum]

Does anyone else really want something like this? I would pay at least 80 points for a boon to play a Half-Orc Dwarf or Half-Elf Gnome ect.

[Gary Bush]

I agree. It is time to deliver on John Compton's promise.

[GreyYeti]

Do these exist in Golarion?
I can't remember any mention in the lore of a non-human half-elf/half-orc.

It's on page 55 of the 3rd printing of the Core Rulebook (I can't find it on archivesofnethys):

Other Halves wrote:

By default, half-elves and half-orcs descend from humans, but your GM might allow you to be the offspring of an elf, orc, or different ancestry. In these cases, the GM will let you select the half-elf or half-orc heritage as the heritage for this other ancestry. The most likely other parent of a half-elf are gnomes and halflings, and the most likely parents of a half-orc are goblins, halflings, and dwarves.

Happy to spend ACP on the other halves.

OPM will have to outline what is allowed. I think what is provided in the CRB is a decent enough list.

Here it is on Archives of Nethys. And also here.

(On both pages it is near the bottom and titled "Other Halves.")

Thanks! Weird that Searching for "Other Halves" doesn't bring up anything.

Yeah, it's strangely hidden within the search engine. I tried searching for key words and phrases that were in that quote, but it didn't show up.

So I looked up other topics that are on page 55 and found the "Other Halves" text tucked into those two.

I've seen a few settings flirt with Half-Orc, Half-Dwarf characters, and I'd adore seeing such a thing enter canon in Pathfinder.

Though I do kinda like idea of humans just being weird in that regard though because humans don't really have much going for them interest wise besides extra feats x'D
