>Up to a point:

women under heavy physical stress stop having periods and become infertile. I first came across this in the RW in an account by a British doctor who was attached to Tito's partisans in WW2, all the women partisans he examined were in this state. I've also heard of this happening to female athletes (in training at the sort of level required to compete in the Olympics).

Whether the ordinary adventuring lifestyle would produce this effect I
>don't know.

hmmmm

I'm not going into this one to far.....but certainly the adventuring life would be hard....Olympic grade? Certainly for 'Hero' types. Certainly the lifestyle of the average adventurer isnt as strenuous as that....but it IS hard enough that carrying a baby to term would be very hard indeed. If you're fighting backwoods campaign vs the 'vile Lunar scum' like my players are doing...well allmost the same as fighting the vile Nazi scum.....

However in a more normal campaign:-

Getting pregnant shouldnt be a issue....depending on the Vingans (or any other female character!) 'lifestyle choices' but keeping the child to term!!!! You try swordfighting when pregnant!!!!!!
