[Mod-Post] Birth Rolls Megathread- 53 AC

Please use this thread for your sacrifices birth rolls conceived in this year. Any rolls found to be incomplete or tampered with in this thread and linked in the birth rolls column of the almanac may be subject to removal or becoming voided.

Note: major thank you to u/erin_targaryen for allowing us to use her system!

There are a few mandatory rolls when doing births. The mandatory rolls are binding in nature. This means that you cannot change child death, mother death, twins/multiples or biological sex. Complications are optional. These rolls must be done on the appropriate post within the subreddit and linked on the character almanac.

There are several methods to offset maternal death. The methods are:

• The Medicine Room Improvement allows maternal death to be replaced by infertility, if desired, if the birth occurs in the same Holdfast as the Improvement.

• The Maternalistic Bloodline Skill allows players to roll twice for Birth Rolls and choose the result.

• Certain Tiers of the Medic Freeform Perk allow maternal death to be replaced by infertility, if desired, if the mother is treated by a PC from a Freeform Claim with the Medic Freeform Perk that is in the same location.

• The Special Item Preserved Rhoynish Ointment gives a +40 modifier to the General Roll.

Further optional birth rolls can be found here.

For female characters aged 40-44, a 1-20 result on a 1d100 means she becomes pregnant normally. This a one-time roll, meaning that if the roll fails, they do not become pregnant and are not able to become pregnant again. If the roll succeeds, she is pregnant once and then not able to become pregnant again

#Birth Roll

A Birth Roll determines the outcome of the birth and is made on a 1d1000. The Birth Roll is then compared to the table below.

Roll	Result
15 or less	Mother and child die
16-31	Single child survives (make a Sex Roll), mother dies
32-102	Single child dies, mother survives (optionally, make a Complication Roll)
103-203	Single child survives (make a Sex Roll), mother survives (optionally, make a Complication Roll)
204-968	Single child survives (make a Sex Roll)
969 or more	Twins/Multiples (make a Twins/Multiples Roll)

#Sex Roll

A Sex Roll determines the biological sex of the newborn(s) and is made on a 1d2. The Sex Roll is then compared to the table below.

Roll	Result
1	Newborn is male
2	Newborn is female

#Twins/Multiples Roll

A Twins/Multiples Roll determines the outcome of a Birth Roll that rolled Twins/Multiples and is made on a 1d1000. The Twins/Multiples Roll is then compared to the table below.

Roll	Result
5 or less	Mother and both twins die
6-20	One twin dies while one survives (make a Sex Roll), mother dies
21-40	Both twins die, mother survives (optionally, make a Complication Roll)
41-150	One twin dies while one survives (make a Sex Roll), mother survives (optionally, make a Complication Roll)
151-175	Both twins survive, twins are fraternal (make two Sex Rolls), mother dies

#Complication Roll

A Complication Roll determines any negative effects the mother suffers from a difficult birth and is made on a 1d10. The Complication Roll is then compared to the table below. Complication Rolls are non-binding. Complication Rolls are used for players to make RP decisions and do not affect Birth Rolls mechanically.

Roll	Result
2 or less	Mother is infertile in the future
3-4	Mother's chance of future stillbirths, miscarriages, and maternal death is increased
5-7	Mother's future fertility is decreased
8 or more	Mother's complication does not affect future fertility
