[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7174082, member: 29398"] And to throw in another wrench: Are we talking just about game-world Humans here, or game-world anythings? I ask because there's space within the non-Human core races to have all kinds of fun with this sort of thing and other gender-by-race stuff. Elves - oftentimes you can't tell their genders apart anyway and the stats reflect this: no changes due to gender. Dwarves - no stat changes but male Dwarves outnumber female Dwarves about 2-1 thus adventuring Dwarven females are extremely rare Gnomes - the exact reverse of Dwarves; females outnumber males about 2-1 and are also slightly larger on average Hobbitses - unlike Elves, it's easy to tell a male Hobbit from a female, but their stats etc. are the same Orcs - I have these actually change gender on an irregular basis in my game; the only time any particular Orc's gender is guaranteed to be anything is that in the few days around giving birth it will always be female (and yes, during pregnancy it can in all other respects be male for a while - they're something of a biological freak show) Dragons - those huge ancient beasts lining the covers of so many fantasy and RPG books - with the notable exception of Smaug they're all female. The males are the much smaller ones left guarding the lair. Lanefan [/QUOTE]
