[QUOTE="Xath, post: 2129506, member: 17040"] While I don't agree with the principle, I accept your ruling. This, however, I don't agree with. I think there are more dangers to a live nursemaid than there are with a ringgate. Any damage spell can take out a person, but the number of things to cripple a magical item are limited. Also, it's not as though people would begin specifically targeting the Ring Gate to get rid of the child's food supply. A nursemaid, on the otherhand, will only be seen as an ally, and thus will be targeted by our enemies. Also, the nursemaid isn't meant to be the mother substitute. That's what the "mom" figure is for. Xath isn't the baby's real mother, but she'll be willing to take up the role. It's not as though the ring gate idea is to plop the baby on the ground and hand it the gate to feed itself on its own accord. Think of it, instead, as a bottle. The mother/father can still hold the baby and use the ring gate to feed the child. Just like any normal bottle-fed baby. It's a way to feed the child while still giving it parental affection. Bottle-fed babies do not have psychological trauma because they're bottle-fed as far as I know. The ringgate boob is a magical version of formula baby. Why? Ring gates are replacable. More replacable than people, I would say. I realize we have more people than ring gates but that doesn't mean we should undervalue the importance of human life for the sake of quantity. We could even order a new set of ring gates to be kept in Hyrwl in case we ever need them. I'd rather do that than risk more lives. [/QUOTE]
