Metamorphosis Superior Spell and Pregnancy!

Unread post by GaredBattlespike »

Greetings!
I have a question: Can a Human Male Wizard (PFRPG) use the Metamophosis: Superior Spell to take a non-human girlfriend and IMPREGNATE her?

Say he's in love with a Kankoran female, and they make love after he transforms into a male Kankoran. Can she become pregnant with his offspring?

Thank you and Good Gaming,
GaredBattledpike

Negative. The spell makes it clear that the actual nature of the being does not change, and it certainly dosn't do anything to genetics. Neither this spell (or in fact, any) of the published metamorphasis spells allow you to mate with what you transform into. It's purely cosmtic with a few natural functions of the form, but inside, your still who you are.

Agreed.


I LOVE this question, though! :D

There would probably be some sort of magic ritual involved that is approved of by the GM if you REALLY wanted to pursue this objective, but it would be much more easier just become an Auto-G and then do a transformation.

How is becoming a completely different race easier?

If you could do that, then this problem would already be solved.

True, but that wasn't what I had meant, so I am sorry for the miscommunication. What I was trying to say was to make the character an Auto-G from the beginning, I just worded it wrong and didn't realize it until now.

Geneticists or Gene-Splicers could, with a bit of effort, create offspring from just about anything. Maybe not an exact meshing of the two species, but something with genes of both parents. My wife is a genetic scientist, and they have mice in her lab that have genes from jellyfish. Their skin glows under black-lights. So the possibility exists IRL and could be created in Rifts with the right technology.

I think the best way to end it is for the spell to wear off while he is with her and she gets angry with him and bobbits him.

if he's a mage, he ought to be able to develop a spell to allow such a thing..but it would take years to do.
