Certainly. If I recollect (David or someone please correct me), there was roughly a 50% chance of having a kid in the basic Pendragon rules, maybe less. If the resistance is 14, then the base trait ought to be something around 6, with about 7 points worth of augments (frex, +2 for being an initiate of Ernalda, +2 for some magical affinity, +2 for a midwife, and +1 from the husband). Or something like that. Same thing with child survival.
