Really you need to Talk to Percy Ferkelberger about that. ;)
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Now did he/she mean It is never non-canon to be able to cross races, or did she/he mean that canon is correct that canon bans interspecies crosses? The lack of escencial punctuation makes it a bit ambiguous.

Thou the winged one does make a point that does seam correct because he was yelling (by using ALLCAPS).

Give him/her a bit to settle in.

That was my first thought too....Is this a GM venting against players' rule-gorking hybrid creations, or a player violently defending their canon-reaming character concept?

Interspecies breeding is possible with Illi Gel, but allergic reactions are commonplace.

Oh wait the hell, I got cabin fever too....
Let's run with this:

Random Roll Tables: Illi Gel Use
(inspired by Sr. shadow supernova and Curbludgeon)

“It changed my life!”

An alchemetic substance promoted as allowing easy and fun cross-species hybridization(aka ‘lubricate the normally incompatible!’, or, more vernacularly; ‘’lube the way for a new species!’), Illi Gel DOES allow previously impossible hybridizations---but only if one is willing to risk paying a very steep price. What the initial promoters of Illi Gel DON’T talk about is the high risk of allergic reactions to use.

“What part of the labeling did you NOT understand? The part about ‘GM disapproved’, ‘Player fatally tested’, ‘Death and Dismemberment using this product a very real possibility’, or ‘100% Evil, Product of Misery’?”

Here are some random roll tables for Illi Gel use:

When using Illi Gel, each partner rolls versus magic at -10. On a failure, roll on the following:
01-05% Explosive (De)Coupling---Sex is accomplished with an explosion, doing 1d4x10 SDC/MDC to each participant. -25% on conception success.
06-10% Headaches---The participant is struck with a powerful migraine-style headache that persists even after sex. Roll versus insanity every time mental activity/skill use is attempted, or face blinding incapacitating pain that destroys concentration. -30% to skill rolls.
11-15% Body Swap---The partners find themselves in each other’s bodies. The swap is permanent.
16-20% Petrification---One of the partners in the coupling is turned to stone.
21-25% Lightning Strikes---The Gods of Miscegenation are angry with the attempted mating. The couple will be hit repeatedly with lightning during the attempt, sufferiing 3d6 SDC/MDC every melee of conjoinment. -15% on conception success.
26-30% Last Time---Participant’s sexual organs wither and fall off. Remove Curse and Restoration MIGHT reverse the damage.
31-35% Hives---Participants will break out in painful hives all over their skin. What look like giant warts erupt from their flesh, spawning swarms of small biting/stinging insects. Bathing in pesticide provides only temporary(1d4x10 minutes) relief before the hives break out again.
36-40% Screamer---The participant begins screaming during sex and CANNOT STOP. Even afterwards, everything they attempt to say IS DELIVERED AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS! THE BEING IS ESPECIALLY UNABLE(save vs magic again) TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THEIR SEXUAL EXPERIENCE IN THE LOUDEST POSSIBLE WAY! Remove Curse MIGHT shut off the vocal assault.
41-50% Sterilized---The participant is rendered sterile(if female, and the conception/pregnancy is successful, they become sterile afterwards) and cannot conceive further offspring, even if their equipment appears perfectly functional.
51-55% Phobia: Sex----The participant is so traumatized by the coupling that they have now acquired a fear of intimacy, especially if it carries the prospect of sex.
56-60% Life Drain---The male in the coupling loses 75% of their Hit Points/SDC/MDC, remaining lifespan, and takes on a zombie-like appearance(-2d6 to MA and PB, HALF P.E. P.S. and Spd). The female in the coupling loses 50% of their Hit Points/SDC/MDC, becomes bloated(lose 75% of P.B., SPD, P.E. ), and looks like some sort of mobile alien brood-sac. Damage is permanent.
61-65% Enemy Mine---Post-intercourse, the participant now HATES their partner. Of they hated them before, it’s now dialed up to 11. If they already despised them at 11, it’s now an Insanity: Obsession.
66-70% Conjoinment---The two participants physically fuse together; congratulations, you’re now a/the hybrid!
71-75% Fungus----The participant’s skin becomes colonized by a discoloring skin infection. Hair becomes mangy(30% chance of falling off entirely), skin becomes scaley and rough-textured, especially around the genitals, and the skin takes on a lurid, unnatural color. -2d6 to MA and PB.
76-80% Burning Sensation---Starting with the current coupling, any future attempt at sexual activity results in an intense burning sensation in the relevant parts. Save vs magic again or be crippled by acute agony. In the alternative, any sort of sexual stimulation felt by the participant is followed by the sensation of electrical shock(somebody applying aversion therapy perhaps?). Reduce to 1 APM, negate all bonuses, and -25% to skill rolls for 2d4 melees or until the sexy stimulation is removed(“Put on a shirt! PLEEEEEAAASSSEEEEEE!!!!!”).
81-85% Libido Killer---After the current coupling, the pleasure centers of the brain effectively necrotize, leaving the participant unable to feel any physical pleasure ever again. HALF M.A. and the being’s personality takes on a cold, apathetic tone.
86-90% Unholy Hunger----The participant eats their partner at the end of sex. If it’s the male partner devouring the female, roll pregnancy as normal, only now the male remaining parent gives birth(maybe).
91-95% Trans-Species Communication---The participant contracts an embarrassing sexual/reproductive disease normally only suffered by their partner’s species. This is curable only using a Remove Curse ritual.
95-00% Roll 1d4 times. Don’t you feel special?


Conception/Pregnancy Results
01-30% Dud----No conception/ pregnancy
31-55% False Pregnancy---The mother goes through all the symptoms of a particularly difficult and protracted pregnancy, but in the end it is discovered that it’s just a bad case of gas and water retention.
56-60% It’s Alive----Successful hybrid offspring, only it is born with fully mature hybrid characteristics, is totally evil, and will immediately seek to kill both parents.
61-70% Fatal Pregnancy----Successful hybrid offspring, but mother doesn’t survive the birth(explosive birth, chestburster delivery, offspring eats the mother, etc.). This becomes embedded and normal in the reproductive cycle of the new hybrid.
71-75% Survival of the Fittest---3d6x10 hybrid offspring are born but immediately fight amongst themselves(and anybody else in the immediate vicinity) until only one remains, which displays ravenous hunger and high maintenance until reaching puberty. This becomes embedded and normal in the reproductive cycle of the new hybrid.
76-85 % Mutant---The offspring is alive, but marked by severe mutations that mark it as alien to both its parents’ species, like two heads, fused legs, multiple and nonfunctional limbs, allergies to magic, heat susceptibility, etc. -2d6 to P.B. and any other penalties for misshapen limbs/body form. 60% chance of being sterile.
86-93% Apparent Success---The hybrid offspring appears perfectly normal, but is permanently sterile, even with magic assistance.
94-95% Success----Successful hybrid offspring, no complications.
96-99% Marked With Doom----Successful hybrid offspring, but is marked by a supernatural Aura of Doom that proclaims the offspring unnatural. Monster-hunters, cultists, and predators will immediately sniff it out by its unnatural aura. This aura is inherited by any future offspring.
-00% Beyond Biology----Hybrid offspring appears as a glowing idealised paragon of hybrid traits. The offspring telepathically thanks both its parents for bringing it into existence, then Ascends to a higher plane, never to be seen again.

Hey, I consider myself well-qualified to write 'Palladium Gaming and Reasons Why You'll Never Have Sex". :D
