Just a quick question,  what in AQ defines a separate species.  In
reality land two animals are considered separate species if they can
not interbreed and produce a viable offspring (sometimes distance
(i.e. the two will never meet) is the only thing that makes this
so).  Obviously in AQ this is not the defining point.  I mean elves
and humans are separate species, but they can interbreed (i.e. half
elves).  So for game purposes what makes something a separate
species?  I guess my feeling is that if you have been mutated 5
times for lets say iron skin, wings, gills, webbed feet, and breed
true I would no longer look at them and say human.  If I understand
Dan correctly, this person would still be considered human (assuming
they started that way).  Just wondering.
