Would the spell "Alter Self" give those using it the ability to reproduce as what they've changed into?

[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 6209190, member: 6678119"] If this is a player asking the questions, I'd probably point you to asking your DM. If this is a DM asking about how to rule on this, I'd say take a look at whether it could make your campaign more interesting. How far along this do you want to go with questions like the morality of it and the consequences? Is it acceptable to introduce things "after the fact" so to speak? For example, if you had a human Alter Self into an elf and then get together with an elf that's part of a sect that dislikes humans, would the scenario of the elves learning that the person is actually human be an acceptable subject for the campaign/the table? If that (or similar scenarios) aren't viewed as something appropriate for the table then I'd probably not recommend allowing Alter Self to do that in the first place. As odd as it sounds, the Book of Erotic Fantasy has some thoughts about roleplaying with the considerations of more mature themes, although I don't recall if it has anything to say on the potential of deceiving one's partner. It's not the best book (dang those photoshopped images are bad) but it will bring up some good points. It also has an optional pregnancy table and some notes on "crossbreeding." [/QUOTE]
