Pregnancy
Pregnancy 1 occurs when a sperm of a male
fertilizes an egg of a female. Should a pregnancy be
determined (see earlier in this chapter), then the body
of the female character will experience change. The
pregnant woman will gain 2d4 of the following
symptoms: breast tenderness and swelling, fatigue,
nausea, sensitivity to smell, increased frequency of
urination, mood swings, weight gain [(2d20)% of
weight], and cravings for unusual substances. These
symptoms last for 1d20 weeks.
There is a 15% chance for each pregnancy
to result in miscarriage. If this is determined, then
miscarriage occurs in the (3 + 1d8) th week of pregnancy.
After 12 weeks of pregnancy, other symptoms
emerge. Now, the pregnant woman experiences
another 2 of 3 symptoms: breasts increase
1d4 cup sizes, nipples darken, weight gain [(2d20)%
weight].
If the pregnant woman is middle-aged, then
there is a 30% chance of producing an offspring
who is less than ideal. If a complication occurs,
then roll 1d100 and consult below:

Pregnant females experience a decrease in
Bodily Attractiveness equal to 1d20. This decrease
is in full effect immediately before childbirth, and
the effect increases from 0 to the full effect proportionate
to the length of the pregnancy. Although in
some sense a pregnant female is ‘beautiful’, her
Bodily Attractiveness is affected negatively.
