[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1675333, member: 8439"] first don't we have to ask the question "Will [b]any[/b] reasonable person deliberately walk into potentially lethal situations?" And since the answer to that is usually "no", we have to assume that adventurers in general are not reasonable. ;) There seems to be an underlying assumption in some of these responses that a pregnant woman generaly would and universally should ("a reasonable expecting mother") value her preganacy more than her own life, and certainly more than any but the direst of reasons a character would have become an adventurer to begin with. While I think this is interesting, I fear any deep exploration of it would rapidly take us into mod-unfriendly territory. :eek: I will say that while IRL I am an expectant mother making accomadations in my mundane life for my pregnancy, I cannot think of a single one of my female characters who, upon 'finding' herself pregnant, would consider that condition worth changing her entire life for and giving up the work she was doing. Where you assume needing extreme circumstances to continue adventuring, my default assumption would be to need a really good reason not to (a child of prophecy, a need to propagate a dying race, some other serious 'plot' repercussion). But generally my characters are "adventuring" as part of who they are and what their entire life is about (voluntarily or not) not as a hobby. Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
