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

[QUOTE="Ragmon, post: 6209823, member: 99604"] [B]For the OP:[/B] Just go with this, male or female things should work like this i.m.o. count the impregnation as if being impregnated in the original races form, while in a different form (like dragons). So a Poly Dwarf who is a human has sex with a Normal Dwarf then there will be no offspring (to check what can impregnate what, check out the Book of Erotic Fantasy, there is a table there just for this). Poly Elf (human) and Normal Elf would result in a half elf. If you want similar rules check out the Changeling in Races of Eberron (or Ebberon), it has a very specific cross race breeding explanation/ruling, or just sex change ruling, check it out. [B]Now for the side topic.[/B] I wish to address this as a whole, as shot as possible. RPG gaming is a extreamly subjective, every players experiences, handles, iterprets -situations differently from another player in the same group in the same situation, and that is that. We are different, we want different things, we need different things, every person is different every group is different. We are divers religiously, culturally, politically. Sex, politics, religion ethics, morality and so on, the ones you mention as being avoided for the sake of escapism, many people love and use in there games. [B][I]Sex [/I]on the other hand is one of the dirty three subjects (along with religion and politics) - since when and where?[/B] Religion in RPGs: They exist we have proof. Sex: This is only an issue during a game if your 12. Politics: That is where the fun starts for most gamers I know. Some examples: - Back in the day when I was ~18, we played a campaign where the DM introduced a young female character (~14 I think) who was looking for adventure and to leave the dreariness of her hamlet. That character to this day is the most memorable NPC I have ever encountered. General survival of that character became an integral part of the game, and it was fun (sort of a baby example). - Trough Deck-'o-Many-Things we got a castle and servants. Thus our we established trade, alliances we planed a war on a country ruled by a red dragon, we transported ~300k Orcs (DM variant, ~3m tall with stats to boot) to start a war on the red dragons country,hell of alot of fun). - Religion never come up, unless we want to kill gods. In addition its never an issue cause every one I ever played an RPG table top game with was a sane individual who doesn't believe in a "super-daddy up in the clouds who gets angry at you for eating the wrong thing". [color=red][B]Mod Note:[/B] Please see my post on page 4. ~Umbran[/color] We came full circle , every group likes different things, different play styles, different systems, different settings. PS: The only thing I didn't like about your comment was that you didn't use the words "I think its like this", "I feel its like that", simply I feel like you stated that every group is like that, and that sex, politics and religion is always bad in a game. Sorry OP for derailing the thread, I will try to stop. [/QUOTE]
