Does Your Heather Have Two Mommies?

[roguerouge]

It occurred to my girlfriend tonight that with Alter Self, it was possible for two women to have a child biologically. I was wondering if any other players or DMs had thought of this and had made use of it, either as character history or as a feature of a society.

Your attack rolls, natural armor bonus, and saves do not change. The spell does not confer special abilities, attack forms, defenses, ability scores, or mannerisms of the chosen form.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIinteresting. I must admit I thought it was an illusion spell, but nope it's definitely a transformation. I think (given the quote above) a lot of GMs might well rule being able to get someone pregnant to be a "special ability" (or, heaven forbid, a "special attack" ) but that's definitely not something I'd thought of before.
At ten minutes/level one might, with sufficient caster levels, have plenty of time to, ah, nevermind.

Nope. Knew about it, though, from playing Changeling. Must be...different to have every member of your race be potentially a mommy or a daddy. Or both towards different offspring!

I've had dragons using polymorph gender-switch to impregnate creatures and breed half-dragons, but I've never thought about it in terms of alter self before.

Huh. In the game I play in, I bring about 30 minis to represent my female doppleganger, many of which are male. Not that I plan on having her, uh, get busy, as female or male, anytime soon...

It came up briefly with a changeling PC, but the player had to leave our game before the thing was resolved.

Interesting. Reminds me of an old character of mine who tried to father a herd of pegasi while under a polymorph spell. GM ruled that it would require a 'Shapechange' spell to get that level of physical change.

Heh. And thus, a thousand plotlines for royal bloodline scandals were formed.

Not only did this threat turn out to be about exactly what I had imagined, it also turned out to be serious!

Didn't WotC used to host an "(Im)Mature Content Forum"? Maybe they still do, I haven't checked in a while. At any rate, there was lots of conversations like this, IIRC.

Technically, alter self makes it possible to have a child with yourself.
