You may also take a disabling feature to gain a bonus based on the disabling feature you take. For a list of disabling features refer to the disabling feature list.
If you select to go a half species you must first confirm your DM is happy for you to go your specific combination. First you take their average base hit points for both the races, for example if 1 of the races has 6 hitpoints and the other has 8 then your character would have 7. Then you take the bonuses and flaws of both races together and average them rounding down in the case of .5. After this you take 1 feature from each race then any mandatory features from both races.
