So glad you noticed this - I always just stared at it and went "du-uh!" LOL.
I approve of your change - not only more accurate, but very clear (although leaves either parent to being inimical, not just the sire, which still works for me)

I have changed this to
"Where the parent is inimical, the
character is always sired by a
non-human father."
Found a few typo's/scan erros in the
NMI section and have corrected
those. If anyone else has textual
chnges/corrections, please let me know.

parent." Can that be made less awkward, or maybe we need to
rephrase it another way - gave me a double-take & a
giggle (tch, tch). Thanks for the information anyway.
