I don't see it as radically altering the animal so much as teaching it a new language. The way I see animals is that they are of low inteligence *compared* to the way humans think of it. What awaken does is basically teach that animal (I tend to think it works better on already bright version sof animals/plants) how to communicate with humanoids better. It gives them a glimpse into how we look at the world and how we *work* so to speak. It is more like a permanent animal speech spell to me that has the side effect of allowing the animal to learn classes and such that requires a stable ability to communicate. I see this as the *ultimate* act of balance. It brings two seperate creatures to a mutual understanding of each other's worlds.Now to your questions:1) To me, as already stated, nothing actually changes in the animal. The only reason they become magical beasts is because they have a type of permanent magic applied to them. With this in mind they can breed with normal animals just like a human with a permanent polymorph of wings would be able to.2) I would say their children are *fundamentally the same as a normal animal since it is not changing genetics but just adding a magical effect. Whether or not that new animal could *talk* is a real question. I would say no, because of the problem with vocal chords which is one of the magical changes to the parent. Could it *learn* the language? To read? To possibly even advance in character classes if it had a teacher who could speka both languages (like their parent)? I would say.. possibly to this. I would also give them a roll to determine Int, just like their parent got when it awakened. This is to show that the parents bridges that communication gap as the child grows up.3) already answered by not seeing them having to breed with others like them.4) answered in the first paragraph</blockquote>
