I've seen the recent increase in pregnant characters, which is completelly fine with me. But I thought this could come in handy.

This is copied from the DND 3e Book of Sex
________________________

LENGTH OF PREGNANCY
With mammals, gestation period is usually dependent on size. Instead of making things complicated, size is not dependant on gestation in these rules but rather maximum age. This will be explained after Table 1.
Table 1 lists the length of pregnancy for each race. Also, it lists the duration of each stage of the pregnancy. The length of each stage is given as well. Half-elf pregnancies could last as long as 24 months or as little as 9 months depending on how much human or elf the unborn child is. The number given is for GMs who don't want to bother with complicated inter-racial percentages.

NOTE: The length of pregnancy was derived from the assumption that an elf's pregnancy lasts 24 months and that the elves life span is 750 years. 750 divided by 24 yields the number 31.25. 31.25 was then divided into the life spans of all races to get the length of pregnancy with the exception of humans. Since human pregnancy in an RPG can have real-world basis, the length is given as 9 months. 14.44 (derived from dividing 130 by 9) could have been used rather than 31.25 but the 31.25 is based on the fantasy elf race and so that number was used for the other fantasy races. GMs may alter the list as they wish.

TWINS OR BETTER

For those GM's who want to add a little spice to the pregnancy,
Table 1b gives the chance of more than one child being born based on race. For example, a human has a 1 in 10 chance of having twins while a dwarf has a 1 in 100,000 chance of having twins. This can also be interrupted as 1 in 10 humans having twin sibling while 1 in 100,000 dwarfs have a twin sibling. These chances are only suggestions and GMs may adjust the table as he sees fit for his campaign.

This is wonderful. By the looks of it, I only have 4 months to go. Thank goodness because in 5 months the character's child will be out and I'll be humongous with mine...... I don't think we'd get along so well if we were both on the same time frame.

DANGEROUS EFFECTS ON AN UNBORN CHILD

SPELL-CASTING
A pregnant mage or cleric can cause weird things to happen to an unborn child if she casts spells after the 2nd stage of pregnancy. Magic is the ability to shape, control, harness, and utilize natural forces that infuse the world and surround the character. When a mage or cleric uses her magic ability, this force can influence the development of an unborn child.
Every time a mage or cleric casts a spell after the 2nd stage of
pregnancy, there is cumulative chance equal to the spell level that an effect has occurred.For example, Roxanne The Mage is in her 3 stage of pregnancy. She casts a 2nd level spell. There is a 2% that the unborn child is effected. The player rolls a 25 on the percentile dice and thus nothing happens to the unborn. Then, Roxanne casts a 3rd level spell. Now there is a 5% (2+3) chance of the unborn child to be effected. But the percentile dice show a 56 and the child is safe.

PSIONICS
A psionicist shapes, controls, harnesses, and utilizes natural forces that infuse her own being. The essence of a psionicist is mind and body. Since the unborn is in the body, psionic powers that are manifested can greatly effect the unborn child.
For every psionic strength point (PSP) used by the psionicist after the 2nd stage of pregnancy, there is cumulative chance equal to the number of expended PSPs that an effect has occurred.

EXTRAPLANAR TRAVEL
Each time a pregnant character travels to another plane after the 2nd stage of pregnancy, there is cumulative chance that an effect has occurred. Going to the elemental planes gives a cumulative 5% chance of an effect occurring. Going to the ethereal plane gives a cumulative 25% chance that an
effect has occurred. Going to the astral plane gives a cumulative 50% chance that an effect has occurred because of the strain. The effects of going to the outer planes is relative to alignment. For each difference in alignment there is a cumulative 2% chance that an effect has occurred. Thus, a lawful good character visiting a chaotic evil outer plane will give the unborn child a 12% (lawful -> neutral -> chaotic = 3 or 6%, good -> neutral -> evil = 3 or 6% for a total of 12%) chance of an effect.

LEVEL DRAINING
Every time the pregnant woman loses a level for whatever reason after the 2nd stage of pregnancy, there is cumulative chance equal to the number of levels drained multiplied by 10 that an effect has occurred. If an effect does occur, minus 5 to the die roll on the Type of Effect Table for each level trained.

MAGICAL AGING
If any aging effect is inflicted upon the pregnant woman (such as a Haste spell), the aging effect is split between the mother and child equally. This, of course, may cause immediate labor and birth of the child. Due to increased development rate, the child must make a system shock roll based on its mother's constitution. Failure indicates that an effect occurs.

If there is an effect roll on the following table (subtracting the
stage of pregnancy, i.e. add 10 if in the 5th stage of pregnancy) to decide if the effect is positive or negative (use appropriatemodifiers).

User Image


TABLE 5: Positive Effects (ROLL 1d10)
1: Born with infravision which enables child to see up to 60 feet in the dark. If the child's race already has the benefit of infravision than add 20 feet to the range.
2: Born with a +1 bonus to all saves vs. paralyzation, poison, or death magic.
3: Born with a +1 bonus to all saves vs. rod, staff, or wand.
4: Born with a +1 bonus to all saves vs. petrifaction or polymorph.
5: Born with a +1 bonus to all saves vs. breath weapon.
6: Born with a +1 bonus to all saves vs. spell.
7: Born with 10d10 - 5 % magic resistance.
8: Born with a lifetime regeneration ability. The child will be able to naturally (subconsciously) regenerate 1 hit point every turn.
9: Born with a natural (subconscious) ability to "turn" 1 Hit Die
undead. Great potential for child to grow up to be a infamous cleric.
10: Born with a psionic wild talent. If the effect was created due to psionics, then two wild talents develop.

TABLE 6: Negative Effects (ROLL 1d12)
1: Born with a -1 penalty to all saves vs. paralyzation, poison, or
death magic.
2: Born with a -1 penalty to all saves vs. rod, staff, or wand.
3: Born with a -1 penalty to all saves vs. petrifaction or polymorph.
4: Born with a -1 penalty to all saves vs. breath weapon.
5: Born with a -1 penalty to all saves vs. spell.
intelligence of a demonic creature. The GM should decide what type of demon the child shall be.
7: Radically different coloration of skin. The color change can either be advantageous or disadvantageous to the child, depending on whether the new color will give him/her a camouflage appearance or make him/her a laughing stock. A child's color can change to any other color. The color change is left to the GM and is limited only by the imagination.
8: The child's eyes are much different than normal. Roll 1d6 to
determine the types of eyes: 1 = huge and protruding; 2 = small and stalked like a crab's; 3 = large ad turreted, move independently like a chameleon; 4 = appear normal but child has 1d4 additional eyes; 5 = multifaceted like an insect's; 6 = the child appears to have no eyes (any eye sockets are empty, but the child moves and reacts like one with normal vision).
9: The child's eyes appear and function normally except for their
color: 1 = solid black; 2 = blank white; 3 = glowing red; 4 = glowing, venomous green; 5 = putrid pink; 6 = opalescent.
10: The skull or head of the child is adorned with unusual outgrowths.
While it is possible for a child to attack with these outgrowths (when he/she grows up), this mutation does not give the child an additional attack per round. Roll 1d4 to determine the type of adornment: 1 = antlers, as a small deer, that do 1-2 hp slashing and rendering damage each; 2 = horns, as a small bull, doing 1-3 hp stabbing damage each; 3 = single horn, like a small unicorn horn without magical properties, doing 1-4 hp stabbing damage; 4 = curved horns, like a ram, that can be
used to butt an opponent for 1-4 hp damage.
11: The child has a tail. While it is possible to use the tail for
attack, this does not give an additional attack per round. Roll 1d4 to determine the type of tail: 1 = short, useless, and non-functioning; 2 = long and prehensile, can be used to hold a shield or other object but cannot be used in attack; 3 = long and segmented, ending in a nonpoisonous stinger that does 1-4 hp damage; 4 = long and whip-like, can be used to inflict 1-2 hp damage.
12: REROLL

I also appologise for the huge ammounts of text I put in here. Especially for those who are unfamiliar with D&D gameplay.

I just hope all of this will come in helpful at least in some way.

Don't apologize. It's helpful to me and my character still has 4 months. This way I have an idea of what should be happening with her.
PostPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 1:55 pm


Glad to know then c:

If you have any questions for an answer that isn't already here. I can check the book and paste anything you might want to know here.

I swear, the people who make DnD books think of everything.

Colour me surprised.

The book is very useful in its way, mainly for the pregnancy suggestions. Much of it is garbage though.
