[QUOTE="Sorn, post: 137652, member: 3097"] Re: Ovulation This is somewhat of a double-edged sword. I don't really want to bog down female players with having to track their periods. I am married, so I know what kind of hassle this whole deal is in real life since I have to go through it with my wife every month. Both females in my gaming group would rather not have periods, and it has never come up in the game either. I think it's nice for them to get away from that hassle in the game and I also think they would kill the DM who wanted to introduce rules for that sort of thing. However, currently the rules only state [I]"as long as it is the right "time of the month" for the female involved, each character simply rolls a Constitution check..."[/I]. What is the "right time of the month? For humans, it's easy. We all know that. However, given the different life-spans of fantasy races, should there not be a variation? In all previous literature, e.g. Elves usually have only 2 or 3 children over the course of 700+ years. Elves don't really strike me as the type that would be celibate in between, so there should be a lot more pregnant elves running around. Granted, their Fertility Check numbers reflect that, but I still think their Ovulation Cycles are more drawn out and we should have some info on this in the guide. Another thing is length of pregnancy. I am sure halflings have a shorter pregnancy than humans. There should be some sort of table for that as well. The same table could include the Difficulty of birth/pregnancy for each race as well. [/QUOTE]
