C'mon Savin, it's mainly your world. How could you not answer some simple questions about the genetic compatibility between fantastical races that have no similarities to anything on our world.

Likely because he doesn't think that level of detail is necessary to think about. But you knew that already, didn't you? :p

This, most likely. Unless the mechanics behind dominant breeding are going to be an important part of the backstory or a plot point in the future, they'll probably never be important in-game, so they're not worth considering outside hypotheticals like the one I posed.

Another question, unrelated to my previous one(s): The goblin's ability to take on one or two traits from their non-goblin parents, and more traits through multiple generations of cross-breeding with the same race, makes it seem like the children of a goblin and a non-goblin are mostly, but not entirely, goblin; in other words, they seem like dominant breeders in a loose sense but not in a strict sense. Are they truly dominant breeders, in the same sense that harpies, kitsune and minotaurs are? If not, are they close enough that they're still subject to the 'no dominant-breeder cross-breeding' rule despite not being true dominant breeders?
