Ok, Fort Save for delivery it is then. I am still a little sceptical on the miscarriage/massive damage ruling, but for simplicity's sake, I am willing to let that go. Other than that, things look pretty solid. Let me recap and outline the things that are left to do: -Diseases -Spells -Uses...

I see you changed the childbirth check to a Fort Save. I think this should become a Con check, as with the current DC's, any class with a good Fort Save will never have any chance of complications fairly early on. I agree that classes with a good Fort Save are likely to be rugged and all...

Sounds like a solution to me.

I agree with Loren. Straight damage is not scalable across the gap between commoners and adventurers. Anything involving hit points will be a pain to balance unless we want every average woman to die in childbirth. On the other end, any Level 1 Barbarian will never have any risks of the same...

I see what you're saying... Maybe a lower DC is in order. But, let's see what DbS has in the oven for the 2.0 post.

Sounds good DbS. I'll be looking forward to seeing it. What is your take on my alternative for death in childbirth? Also, on a side note, I picked up all three revised core books last week. Right now, I don't see any significant impact of those for the GUCK, but I'll comb through once the 2.0...

How about this for the lethality issue... Basing damage on how much the roll failed by will skew the lethality towards the commoner end of things. Let's face it, even in the worst circumstances, a female fighter will shrug off the 12+ points of damage with ease, while it would kill a commoner...

That's a good question. I don't think he was ever involved in the d20 version, but I believe he updated his site to link to ours in the early stages of the project. There should be a link back to his site (with the original guide) somewhere on ours.

Thanks a ton. I'll be looking forward to it. Same goes for the play-by-play.

Alzrius is working on effects on the unborn, DbS is doing something on stats of the child, so the only thing left is Labor & Delivery. I have some preliminary stuff on the site, but it needs a lot of work, and I have hit a wall. Any help with that (or a complete rewrite if my stuff is junk)...

Go right for it. However, bear in mind that even with magic, mutation on that scale should be a fairly rare event. Also don't forget to include effects of Good spells and maybe general Transmutation spells. And if you really feel ambitious, effects of alcohol. Since we only have a handful of...

You made a good case for morning sickness... as I said, it's not all that important to me, so whatever the majority votes will be fine by me. Percentile idea sounds good. I'd suggest we limit this to spell descriptors and a few select spells that don't have descriptors but come into play...

Well, I am not sure I really like the idea of simply averaging the parents' stats with some small adjustments. While it makes sense from a simplistic genetics viewpoint, it has a few problems. Imagine the child of two very average commoners becoming a supermodel with an 18 Cha. Looking at the...

Nice ideas re: morning sickness. Spells are definitely one way of handling it, herbal concoctions or straight-up alchemy might be another way. e 2d20 minutes could be a viable solution. Anybody else have any thoughts on this? Now, the saving throw thing. First off, my research has shown that...

Before I forget it, DbS... you said that once we get the new thread going, you are going to post the 2.0 version of the core mechanics. Are those finished or is there still some tweaking to be done to arrive at that version? If they are done, could you please email them over so I can post them...

Ok, from the top down... VVrayven... Sounds like a plan for the HEx. As far as mutations etc. go, how about a simple table with a few modifiers. Something along the lines of a Fort (?) Save DC ?? with things like "Mother drank alcohol -?" or "Mother was possessed by a spirit -?" or "Mother...

Updates Updates Updates More updates in the Pregnancy section. Again, instead of reposting everything here, check the site. -Removed the age modifiers for conception and added a paragraph about fertility. -Added revised injury rules and other complications such as death of the mother...

HEx worries The HEx might be different enough as to not conflict with the GUCK, I am also a little worried. The GUCK core team has dwindled down to a handful of people. Working on two seperate projects will mean that a good number of the already small core team will have to split their...

I see where you guys are coming from regarding the menopause issue. However, also remember that we are not just talking humans here. Orcs are very fertile, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if orc women continue to reproduce even at advanced ages. Elves are generally looking like they are about...

I took Morning Sickness off the site. So no worries there anymore. Same goes for Con drain. Now, the menopause thing. The reason that there are modifiers is that there are always a few exceptions to the rule, namely women who give birth at an old age where most other women are way past the...
