One of the pros of monthly pregnancy resolution would be the uncertainty factor. Now, how do we handle twins, triplets, etc. with this system? Have a flat chance for each race? Have a baby die for each race (e.g. Elf "litters" are 1d10-7 babies, minimum of 1 on a confirmed pregnancy) Beating the DC by X? Personally, I'd go with the baby die. Allows us to come up with decent averages. The flat chance would lead to d100 rolls, which I personally don't like in the d20 system. Beating the DC is a can of worms. Imagine someone trying really hard to conceive a baby. All the couple wants is a single child, but to be sure, they use every method known to man to conveive and end up with a monstrous birth of 9 children. Gez's system seems to be going in the direction of increased DC's for twins, etc. However, I don't think anyone is trying to get twins or triplets. It just happens, so I am not too keen on that approach. Once it is confirmed that it's twins, additional modifiers to labour and delivery of course apply for multiple births.</blockquote>
