Help! My GM's trying to get me pregnant!

[Darkness]

I think we can do without player/character misidentification jokes, folks.

 

[Anti-Sean]

There is nothing to say you can't continue to adventure up to say about 6 months, and then take a short break for about 6 months while you have the baby.

Wow...now *that's* a long time to be in labor! And to think, my mother complains about the 8 hours it took her to deliver me...

 

[Nightfall]

My advice, sell your soul to Orcus and ask him that your character can NEVER get pregnent. Barring that, there's always turning undead.

I mean, it's a fantasy universe why shouldn't men be just as likely to get pregnant?

???

So anyway, if I do fail the roll what are the rules for adventuring while preggers?

I'd look into some ancient prophylactics. The ancient Egyptians had physical ones from what I recall, while in China, they've had herbal ones for millenia. The chances of pregnancy occurring in a single shot is pretty slim as it is (considering random time, etc.)

By being careful about when your character copulates (if she indeed does not wish to get pregnant), and adding on a good dose of birth control herbs and a physical prophylactic, your chances of unwanted pregnancy plummet to near 0.

What if the one getting her pregnant wants to be a lichloved?

I'm not sure of your alignment or race, but I know a npc in one of my games was running a slave trade. Human babies tended to fetch the highest prices as far as babies go given they mature first. Dwarven Young Adults are bigtime sellers because they will work 20 hrs and produce top knotch products. Just a thought.

You'd think there'd be a high demand for elf concubines....

Well, what if? I don't think Lichloved allows you to have children with the undead.

The PC willingly used a "Deck of Many Things-type artefact" , the PC was lucky not to have her soul sent off to the void. Those items are Press Your Luck with the Grim Reaper as the Whammey. Unless the player is tricked into using one, whatever they get, they deserve. It is playing poker with your character in the kitty.

Yeah, I agree. Playing with the deck of many things is always nuts. You can get lots of quick xps treasure or so on, but you can get shafted very fast and in a most unpleasant manner. I'd say if your character only got knocked up from using something like it, then she's lucky.

You'd think there'd be a high demand for elf concubines....

Quite possibly so, but I think supply is generally hard to come by.

Unless, of course, you do what an elf PC once did IMC and run around talking random goblins into letting you polymorph them into elves. (Back when there was such a thing as a polymorph other spell, that is. In 3.5, you'd need polymorph any object and something like hobgoblins.)

 

[Orius]

Quite possibly so, but I think supply is generally hard to come by.

True enough. But a low supply of elf concubines combined with a high demand for them could guarantee very high profits. It's a seller's market.

Unless, of course, you do what an elf PC once did IMC and run around talking random goblins into letting you polymorph them into elves.

Hahaha. Of course if you do that, you'd better not be setting up permanent shop. I'm sure there'd be a lot of very unsatified customers!
