ok so if a half-orc and a half-elf had a kid would the kid be classed as half-elf or half-orc???

Statistically, the child would be a half-elf or a half-orc (equal chance of either), with physical features of both parents. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/Elco6zKqct

@ChrisPerkinsDnD 1/4 chance for half-orc, 1/4 half elf, 1/4 half-elf/half-orc, and 1/4 for fully human! And that's assuming no recombination

That might be true if elves and orcs were real. P.S. I'm one-quarter unicorn! https://t.co/KMQvuQOhWR

@ChrisPerkinsDnD genetically speaking the child has a 25% chance of being human, 75% half elf/half Orc, w/ 50% favoring one race & 25% equal pic.twitter.com/0cIRM7ihbC

@That_Film_Guy @ChrisPerkinsDnD That's assuming there's a single gene for human/elf/orc. Not very likely IMHO.

Logical arguments about genetics break down once you start talking about elves. https://t.co/yiWe6NFBOT

@ChrisPerkinsDnD what about orcs?
