you think that some of the tauren paladin skills will have new flavor names? such as the blood-knight skill "Seal of Corruption" wich in the alliance is called "Seal of vengeance"?
They'll hopefully redo it for Blood Knights too, considering they don't have to bend it to their will anymore - with the Sunwell restored.
I also wonder what they'll do about
this spell
.
Keep it. Why wouldn't they? There are still undead in-game.

I meant for tauren. Some random cows starts taking their worship of the sun to a new level, and then they suddenly gain the ability to sense undead? It seems weird to me. Of course, removing it from them would make them inferior to other paladins, so I guess they'll keep it.
Well they have to train it. And tauren hunters can sense almost everything else. So how is it so weird?

kk i got's an weird question: Can the tauren have children with the other races?
Probably. I mean, if you look at Garona, she's half-orc, half-draenei. Orcs and Draenei don't look very similar to me, so I see no reason why any other races shouldn't be able cross-breed. However, I don't think it'd be accepted in the tauren society.
Garona was bred by magic.

I know, but Garona herself was an experiment; a child created from an orc and a draenei, one in which magic was used on her often in the womb, after birth and all the rest. Compare Lantresor to Garona, or any half-orc to any other one; no two are identical. Note in the comics, Garona refers to her feet being deformed, more like Hooves, if you notice, you can see Lantresor's boots sticking out of his blade master kilt; so he probably doesn't share her genetics/physical attributes.

He might have put boots over his feet to hide his deformity. Simply answered.

Yeah, but even among our own people no child of mixed parentage is ever the same.

Or it could be that it's just a game mechanic. It very well could be that he has no deformity of any kind with his feet. Honestly, we just don't know enough about the biology of Warcraft to know if any two races can't produce offspring with one another.
We know that certain races can produce offspring together, so we must assume that this rule applies to all the races until we're given proof to the contrary.

we've seen human/elven hybrids, orc/ogre hybrids, orc/draenei hybrids, orc/draenei/human
freakshow marysue
erm, hybrid.........
in real life the genetics of humans and animals are diferent, and that's the case that in the GROSS case of bestiality between for example human+dog, no hybrid animal is born, as neither part gets pregnant, same goes for any other human + any animal.
however in warcraft this law of genetics is out of the window, as humans, elves, orcs, ogres, and draenei have bred with other races, and have managed to get pregnant.
if these races can.... there's no reason to asume the others can't unless we're given proof otherwise.
and as for the tauren skills, renaming every tauren paladin spell so that it fits their lore would be too complicated and confusing...........
Party: put us blessing of might pl0x
Tauren paladin: what? I don't have that, my only blessings are Blessing of the bull (kings) blessing of the ox (might) blessing of the cow (wisdom) blessing of the bison (sactuary) XD
but renaming at least 2 or 3 skills wound't harm the game or cause too much confusion.
because tauren paladins don't draw their power from the holy light, then at the very least the skill "holy light" should have a diferent name for tauren pallys.

You know, I think the real question behind this wouldn't be whether or not they could produce offspring, but would those offspring be born sterile? If we look at Earth biology as a resource, we see that different species within the same genus(I think) can reproduce, but they produce sterile offspring(Liger, Mule, etc.). In Warcraft, it could be the same idea.
I know most will say that Garona disproves this, but Med'an was conceived with the aid of magic, so it doesn't count, as the conception wasn't completely natural.
If we look at all Humanoids as a part of the same genus in Warcraft, then it's completely viable that they can reproduce between species, but whether they have fertile offspring is another question. I haven't read of any half-breeds giving birth other than Garona, who is obviously an exception, so I think this idea might hold water.

Possibly Aegwynn, she might have been a half-breed as well(as in half-elf) as the way she stayed young was a little strange, even with Magic.

Well, it's a possibility, but one could chalk up Medivh's conception as being aided with magic as well...

Well yeah; she only needed one night with Aran after all heh.

O_O how can you forget about rexxar?
he's a half-ogre half-orc, and his father is of the same lineage.
the entire mok'nathal clan is made of half-orc+ogre mix, and since all of them had kids, it's proof enough that the kids of hybrids can still reproduce.

Wow... I kinda feel stupid now. I can't believe Rexxar and the Mok'Nathal weren't the first thoughts to enter my head on that.
Oh well, I guess my hypothesis is debunked. Sorry bout that. :D

Maybe not; Ogre's and Orcs are natural residents of Draenor, the Draenei are a species from another planet. Humans and Elves can breed to make a half-elf, and the half-elf can have children as well; but it hasn't been clarified if the Half-orc/half-human children can breed and have children as well... and they might not be able to because they are from different worlds.
