Complications can arise if they reproduce before maturity, usually resulting in the death of both the mother and child. But, once they reach maturity, they so do enjoy reproducing.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> The notable exceptions are the orc, half orc and halfling. These races have either shorter life-spans or life-spans resembling humans. Therefore, they have shorter gestations/maturity rates than the other races. And therefore have more members.The only way I can think of for the dwarven/elf/gnomish populations to remain constant is that they have a greater number of twins/multiple births than humans/halflings/orcs. Also, at least with elves and gnomes I'd wager that polygamus relationships are very common and maybe even incouraged. Otherwise, drop the conventions and have them do the bunny thing like the rest of us. ^)^</blockquote>
