[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8173826, member: 4534"] In a Deadlands game, one of the PCs decided to take the Ailin' Hindrance and it's most severe level meaning that she was dying from it. Mechanically speaking, at the beginning of each session she got to roll the dice and if unsuccessful it meant she was going to meet her demise. The player wanted to do something weird so she decided that was was ailing her was that she was carrying the child of one Reverend Grimm (a big baddie from the game) and that this demon baby would eventually kill her. [SPOILER="Violence against children but not graphically described."]So one session she rolls, and oops, looks like you're going to die this session. I didn't have her character actually die during childbirth as I thought I'd let her die a little more slowly during the course of the adventure. She gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby boy who she kept saying was a demon baby. The other PCs separated her from the child for fear that she would harm it. But she was crafty, escaped, and ended up killing her son. So at that point the character turned into an NPC because you can't just kill a baby in my game and be a PC. I went ahead and let the newly created NPC die and come back as an undead abomination which the PCs then had to track down. She would periodically give birth to little monsters and fling them at people using their umbilical cord like a lasso. [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
