[QUOTE="Michael Silverbane, post: 7922087, member: 38016"] Step Zero is, of course, talk it over with your DM. Ideally, he can set it up as a short series of adventures. I'd envision it as a three step process. Step one would be to get a thing to substitute as a womb. Some sort of magical box or bag or bowl, which has, or is rumored to have life-giving or protective properties. A [i]box of keeping your stuff fresh[/i] or a [i]bowl that is always filled with healing salve[/i] or a [i]bag of assorted fruits[/i] or something like that. Step two would be to collect some parts by which to template the new life from. Obviously, you'll need some blood (and/or possibly flesh) from both 'parents', mostly to fulfill the legal requirements that the heir be "flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood" or whatever. But since you're custom building a baby anyway, you might as well go all out and collect some 'essence of dragon' to ensure that your heir will be extraordinarily strong and 'heart of courage' (whatever that is) to ensure that your heir will have the strength of conviction to always do what needs to be done, and so on. This will require some creativity and a push toward the fantastical as you have to figure out ways to handle these sorts of intangibles. Step three would be the magical ritual combining all these things, which may be something akin to what [USER=6794067]@Baron Opal II[/USER] suggested above, and would ideally incorporate a bit of a party so that there can be a social aspect, and also so that you'll have lots of allies around when assassins from the future (or whoever) inevitably burst in to try to murder your heir before he can kick off whatever prophecy he's destined for.
