Complete table of half-breed possibilities

Giving birth in Shinma is a risky business, due to primitive medical knowledge and lengthy travel times for doctors. However, restoration mages could be important figures in births, with their healing skills, providing they are knowledgeable enough, and more importantly, present. All over Shinma, childbirth remains a common cause of death for women, and it is lucky for a child to make it through infancy.

Hybrids and Half-Breeds

• Beastmen, and Lizardmen  cannot produce offspring with other races beyond their own, though the extraplanar races of dragonkind and demonkind can somehow bend this rule.
• Beastmen genetics are not the same as animal genetics. Beastmen can only interbreed if they are of comparable clade, for example: felines; different orders of bird and a bluejay Beastmen could have offspring, but a lion Beastmen and a wolf Beastmen could not.
  Children of two different but similar sub-species will turn out as being like either one of their parents. For example, the offspring of a lion Beastmen and a leopard Beastmen will be either a lion or a leopard Beastmen, and not a mix.
