I think this should be left only for foul alien monsters, like the Kython from the BoVD.


At least, for egg-laying creatures.

Keeping in mind its a sorceror/ess and the very blood and tissue the item is gestating within is pulsing magic, I kinda like it.

Ummm... I could have done without 'pulsing' being used in this thread, thank you VERY much!!!

I would never use your described method for magic item creation. For one thing, the players would flatly refuse to use potions any more.

You know, I'm more than a little tempted to use this idea, if only witness the look of stupified disbelief that it will put on my players faces; and I have been looking for an alternative way to handle magic item creation for my new campaign...

You do that. And hey, after they commited you to the Home, write us - or dictate it to one of the nurses, in case they don't allow pencils and other pointy objects.

Congradulations!

Now theres a birhting room the father won't be allowed in!

"Where is that bastard! This +3 Spiked Full Plate is all his fault! I'm gonna distigrate him when I'm all out of here! Cleric, where's that &%$*&% epideral spell!"

Oh, if the pregnacy time was based on the gp times cost, what about the delivery?

1d4 hours per 1,000 or 5,000 gp?

They don't want clerics. They want wizards to cast stoneskin on them.

To expand my privious post, this reminds me of the biotech some of the halflings of Dark Sun had in Windriders of the Jagged Cliffs. Replacing metal magic items with biological ones (aboleth or illithid technology) would be a defining point for a setting. Those skins in XPH are sort of like this as is the Shadow technology in a Babylon 5 novel.

I can already see someone enter the characters' camp at night, introducint himself as Mr. Morden, and asking them "What do you want". Then, I picture said Mr. Morden write down stuff for half an hour.

Interesting. I've been looking for new and disturbing ways to arm the fey hosts of my campaign world, (something to really press home their alien nature), and living bio-weapons would certainly fit the bill. Perhaps the fey scour the countryside, hunting for suitable hosts to use as magic item incubators? All sorts of unpleasant adventuring opportunities could arise from that...

You do that. And hey, after they commited you to the Home, write us - or dictate it to one of the nurses, in case they don't allow pencils and other pointy objects.

I think my game's been getting a little too predictable lately, to be honest. The players may be starting to doubt my lack of sanity. Can't have that, can we?

Polymorphing the pregnant person into, say a storm giant would make it a LOT easier to birth a suit of armor.

Heck, it would probably be required.

 

[Gez]

Scratch the storm giant, you'll need to polymorph the sorcerer in a tarrasque.
