Half-gith....

I also want to point out that the most likely half-gith isn't half gith, half elf. It's half gith, half Bynner.

I wouldn't doubt it if some gith force themselves upon anything warm.

Ever heard that expression "Have your cake and eat it too"?  Heh, maybe that's why we don't see any half-gith offspring.

For giths skinning a human woman:

Tattered skin, chunk of meat and some eggs

skinning a man:

Tattered skin, chunk of meat, a set of mountain oysters

served with a side of gith giz sauce, hmmm mmm

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

If magick can wreak a half-giant, it can probably wreak a half-gith.
Question's why the heck anyone would want to.  ???

Yeah.  Eww.

some freakish amalgam of all the race's best abilities, taking many innocent and semi-innocent random lives in the process, in order to create a creature with elvish agility, half-giant strenth, dwarf endurance, etc. etc.

Or you may just get an amalgam of bad traits.
Gith stank, HG ratardation, dwarven focus, etc...

You've also got to take all the racial prejudices on Zalanthas in mind, because Zalanthans are VERY prejudiced.  The only person who would truly honestly WANT to create some kind of gith halfbreed is someone who can't possibly be sane.  What kind of person really likes gith?

Other gith.

It's definitely possible to create someone who's two-halves gith.

Because, Lord knows, PCs just don't hate on mutants and elves very much.... Maybe if I go half-gith, I'll get the harsh prejudice from other PCs I'm looking for. :/

No, probably not.

Nope. Just tons of mudsex.

The combination of 'gith' and 'giant' and them getting babies... and the word I thought you used was 'wreck'.  I couldn't stop laughing there for a bit.

On topic, though, the only people I can see trying to make half-gith are those wacky sorcerers and their magick experiments.  Presumably that's how half-giants came about.  I do not think sex would be involved while lots of duress would be.

a mad scientist.

the zalanthan equivalent: a highly-born noble, templar or even a combo of a noble born a magicker, or a collaboration between two of these types, with the money, spare time, and insanity (though really, only the person holding the gun to or pulling the strings of the other person need be insane) to wish to do something like this. maybe someone from house winrothol or someone else who would already have a knowledge of how to get slaves for the experiments.

this just sounds nice IG, i'd like to be in allanak if this were to happen at some point, just so i could watch some festering heap of body parts attempt to climb over the elementalist's quarter wall and try to flee the city. or a success that escapes the city with incredible ease, and then goes on to kill, or simply to hide and become a rarity or a race of them, which will be always hunted by allanak.

i propose, to an inappropriately old thread which is half relevant, the following ideas for races.

1. due to the following, the idea that humans are breedable with all other races and are the only that are so.
2. half-gith
3. half-mantis
4. half-... halfling.

thus dropping half-elves from the bottom rung of common (? depends on the proper background and likelihood of these occuring) and replacing them with half-gith. half-mantis are virtually unstoppable when it comes to speed, and half... halflings can and crave corpse meat.

i realize the futility of the bull i am saying and stop here in the hopes that i inspire someone to come up with something saner.
