Message: <blockquote data-quote="Death By Surfeit" data-source="post: 947029" data-attributes="member: 8646">As we are currently concentrating on conception & pregnancy rules, a matter that has been previously hotly debated over, I thought I’d throw my own rules on conception into the fray (my pregnancy rules are already on site, but rather unpolished).CONCEPTIONAt the end of each extended round in which a male character Climaxes during a Penetrative technique, a conception threat roll must be made. Roll a d20 according to the characters’ race. If the characters are of mixed race, use the highest DC between them. If the roll succeeds (natural 20 always does), roll again to confirm the critical threat. On another success, conception has occurred.Table X-XX: Conception threat rollsDC Fertility (Races)10 High (Orcs, Goblins etc)12 Average (Humans, Gnolls etc)14 Low (Halflings, Dwarves etc)16 Very Low (Gnomes, Elves etc)18 Minimal (Dragons etc)+2 Sheath used+4 Masterwork sheath usedMultiple sprogs: If the result of a confirmation roll is a natural 20, you make an addtional roll for another conception (which will result in twins). If this roll is a natural 20, roll for a third conception (which will result in triplets), and so on.That pretty much summarises it. My choices are justified as follows: I have chosen to do it by encounter (more precisely, by Climax round) through personal preference. I picked up on the idea of threat rolls from the earlier forum, and adopted those. I have deliberately avoided Con modifiers, Fortitude saves and such as a person’s constitution or experience has little real effect on their fertility; besides, it would throw rolls for giants, dragons and other such titanic creatures with equally titanic Con and Fort modifiers.Anyone with an alternative system, a rewording or reworking of the above, or anything else on the subject (don’t forget pregnancy!) is heartily encouraged to post it here.DbS</blockquote>
