There is an Ernaldan Allmother feat which is alled Aid Contraception or somesuch. To my mind that is going to succeed the majority of the time and be equivalent to our contraceptive pill and Vingans are going to have access to it if they belong to a clan. I don't quite understand why birth control has to be so unreliable in some people's minds, except as the occasional interesting exception.

Always?

I personally dislike the common representation, when women are being described, of the vast majority of men as bumbling thoughtless idiots; I think *that* is far too easy.

Sam.

BTW Perhaps a more productive direction to take this discussion would be to work out what Vingan gifts and geases are. I propose:

GIFTS:
Can wear chainmail bikinis without encumberance penalties. Hair is permanently dyed red - no need for tiresome hours spent with hair in a basin.

+5 spear combat
+10 spear wombat
+15 yawn yawn yawn

Fearsome Abs as a new ability.
Sense Lech as new ability

GEASES:
May never eat red food.
May not use a spear which is less than two feet long or more than 12 feet long.
May only scream when it is really important. May never refuse a challenge from a lone trollkin with his arms tied behind his back.
