Message: <blockquote data-quote="Patryn of Elvenshae" data-source="post: 2375247" data-attributes="member: 23094">What do you mean?  A mother who makes the first three saves delivers the child without taking any Con damage.A mother who has a particularly difficult delivery - i.e., continually fails the Fort checks - begins taking Con damage, eventually reaching death, if it becomes that bad.  In between, she finds each additional attempt harder and harder to make, making the presence of a healer or midwife all the more important.  The long spacing - 10 hours, average, before death can occur - ensures that there's time for *someone* to ride heroicly to the rescue.Well, you lose 1HP per HD for every 2 points of Con damage you take (to a minimum of 1 HP per HD), a -1 penalty on Fort saves for every 2 points of damage, and, eventually, you can die.Each day of rest will restore 2 points of ability damage, so a mother who had a particularly difficult delivery might need almost a week to recover from it.  One who had an easy delivery will be good to go the next day.I did that deliberately, however.</blockquote>
