[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 7441710, member: 6779310"] All of which is a hassle I really don't care for. If someone wants to be other-gendered (Functional Hermaphrodite, Non-functional hermaphrodite, Functional Female with non-reproductive male parts, functional male with non-reproductive female parts, no parts besides the ureter, etc.), fine, but stick with it. Any disadvantage or advantage these have balances out over time... the more unusual one's genitalia and the less they fit one's preferences, the less likely physical romance is to be found and last, and the more likely to experience both public disdain and private curiosity; sometimes inappropriate curiosity. One thing 5E does that doesn't help is that a polymorph is no longer "Permanent until dispelled or saved against"... Which, in 3E and before, was the result of a 4th level Polymorph other. A near-permanent change. Now, it's a more complete but non-extensible Alter-Other. A permanent change in 5E is a 9th level spell - True Polymorph - which requires an hour and a 17th level caster. (Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard, Warlock). Prior editions (3.5 and earlier), it was 4th level. So, in 3.X, it was pretty reasonable to expect any large town to have a caster capable of it... not cheap... but available. And some of them may do it once just for the asking. [/QUOTE]
