[QUOTE="Starfox, post: 6209358, member: 2303"] However you do, this should never be used as an excuse for a DM "gotcha" of any kind. Sticking a pc with sticky issues of polymorph reversion abortion, or in general any kind of pregnancy issues in RPGs is just not a good idea, in my not-so-humble opinion. Even unplanned fatherhood, tough a staple of stories such as Arthur/Mordred, is a too strong a subject for a RPG. Basically, I reserve PC parenthood for when the player takes the initiative with it. On a more technical note, it is certainly possible to cross-breed most anything in fantasy (see the owlbear), but no-where are there rules for how to actually do this - the vibe I get from the rules is that it is more like magical gene splicing. I prefer to take a not from Piers Anthony's Xanth and say that most everything is interfertile in fantasyland, at least with the help of a magical pool. [/QUOTE]
