A half-celestial elf has a baby with a half-dragon human. What is race of the baby?
Something DM created since nothing exists within the game to handle it.

Draconic half-elf with outsider ancestry feat from races of toril I think.
At least using the rules on ancestry from bastards and bloodlines... or was that from erotic fantasy?
Anyway again you can apply however many half-templates you want to a creature because they aren't a special group with special rules, so the rule from pg. 293 of the MM stands. The DM is free to nix the character or specific templates of course, but by the RAW there's nothing to stop people from making a creature with all the half-templates.

For the original poster...
I'm glad you have something meaningful in D&D. That's really wonderful.
I... I wouldn't say my tables min/max. We tend to build characters who are quite good at something. In 4e, I made a paladin mc cleric to be the party's main healer. But, this grew out of a character concept I had (military combat medic who is haunted by his failings). Therefore, I built him so that he would try his damndest to never ever see a friend die again. To fulfill that goal, I twinked out his magical gear and min/maxed his point buy.
But, I do have a funny story from V:tM.I had a plot-oriented character who survived more than he should on rolling amazing rolls. My dice were always hot. For story reasons he left the coterie. I made a stupidly min-maxed caitiff to excel in combat (which for various reasons was allowed in).
He pretty much got owned constantly due to consistently bad rolls.
"What's stupid is when people decide that X is true - even when it is demonstrable untrue or 100% against what we've said - and run around complaining about that. That's just a breakdown of basic human reasoning."

But it's a mathematical impossibility to have more than two halves.
Damn those powergamers of the ancient world...!
Must I say more than Gilgamesh?
I have only started reading a translation of the original so more info please
Gilgamesh is considered one-third god. He is just awesome like that.

As I said just started reading it... I think aside from killing them bad-ass monsters like well all the heros. It seemed more a story of friendship wrapped in an action adventure.

Yeah, people often use the wrong metric for Gilgamesh. It's not that it's amazing compared to other things of its genre, it's that it created the genre.

In as far as written stories go (isn't it the oldest written story in existence), because I sincerely doubt it is the first one ever told amongst humanity

Probably not, but it's the one we have on record.
