[QUOTE="Speaks With Stone, post: 73549, member: 375"] [b]Awakened animals[/b] Another thought . . . What happens if you awaken a breeding pair? Does the awakened status breed true? Are offspring not awakened, but smarter? Or are they just normal animals? I guess it depends on whether the spell changes phenotype or genotype. In favor of some partial residuals on the animal progeny (either by awaken spells or druid wildshape breeding), I point out that sorcerors are rumored to have dragon blood from dragons polymorphing into human and mating. It seems to me that if it does breed true, then there should be lots of intelligent and talking animals in the world. If it only partially works, then the overall animal intelligence could increase. Perhaps it quickly dilutes if not carefully bred, which in the wild may not happen, but around druid groves does. In this way, druid groves could be surrounded by generations of intelligent talking animals (that sadly are immune to most druid spells as they are now magical beasts). Just a few further ramblings.
