[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 880303, member: 8439"] All of these are going to come down to a dm call, but I'll give what my calls would be. [B][/b] I would say yes in both cases. If the resulting fetus goes to term; in the case of the first I would give the child traces of both gnomish and elvish ancestry from the mother. In the case of the second, what happens if a dispell magic is cast of the pregnant "female" prior to childbirth : I would say that if the fetus is full term it would be "expelled" and possibly suffer shock, and if not would simply become part of the (again) male creatures body. The third option, of having a male with a soon to be dead and necrotic fetus stuck somewhere in his body cavity is kinda gross. I would certainly allow both polymorphed creatures to induce preganancy, and again in the case of a change of species, aspects of the orriginal species would be found in a resulting child. The child would also always be female if you wanna be psuedo genetics about it. (makes note to have a npc who is a lesbian love child concived with one mother polymorphed... maybe thats how amazons reproduce... high level druid = father/mother to the next generation....) [b] [/b] in the case of a female to female transformation, certainly a fetus would become a fetal whatever. If brought to term as a whatever, it would either have half breed traits, or be a whatever which a dispell magic would return to its mother's orriginal form depending on dm whim combined with how much of the pregnancy was spend in the polymorphed form. If a pregnant female is transformed into a male, the fetus is subsumed for the durration of transformation. [b] [/B] As above, the child of a polymorphed creature would have traits of both its matural and magically induced form. Count me also with those who say "compatability" of dragons et al is from their shapechanging and thus moot here. Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
