Actually, I don't think so ... I think he was just explaining the
significance of Trolls being Homo Sapiens ingentis instead of Homo
ingentis :) However, thanks fer reminding me about that post ... how's
that sourcebook coming? ;) ya think FASA will publish it? ;)

I dunno what the precentages would be (the BBB might say but I don't want
to go check), but OTTOMH, I'd say the kid would have a large chance of
being a Troll, and smaller chance of being human and then an extremely
small chance of being an Elf, Dwarf, or Ork ... It's very hard to say ...
considering the rarity of metahumans (in most campaigns, included FASA's)
I'd guess that metahuman expression is controled by recessive genes ...
