[QUOTE="Tiew, post: 2130566, member: 12604"] Hmm, I'm going to have to disagree with the people who are saying bringing a baby along is a really bad idea. In the real world maybe, but not in the D&D world. In D&D I think a baby is almost small enough to count as an object. It should be possible to find a safe place to put it during battle (inside some specially designed magical container maybe.) In games I play in PC's objects are rarely destroyed. Weak NPCs tend to drop like flies though. Also given the ammount of mobility and information gathering power the D&D magic system gives to badguys leaving your child in the protection of some presumably low level guardians is just asking for it. How long do you think the DM will be able to resist having the BBG use divination to find the child and then teleport to kidnap it? "You must hurry! Now your son's life is in mortal peril!" Anyway, just my two cents. In most D&D games I"ve played in inside a PCs backpack would be one of the safest places for a vulnerable NPC who is likely to be a target of some high level malevolence.
