Many factors are<br \/>involved, but primarily whether or not sex occurs during the fertility window<br \/>surrounding ovulation, when precisely it occurs, and the potency of the male&#8217;s<br \/>contribution. Contraceptives work against the chance that a character may<br \/>become pregnant and are generally effective.<\/p>\n<p>Menstruation is the outward sign of female fertility, but both sexes have<br \/>components which render them more or less fertile. For females, this is<br \/>mostly the timing at which they have unprotected sex and when they ovulate.<br \/>Men, however, have to worry about how many times they have sex, protected or<br \/>otherwise, within a certain span of time. A man who has sex every day still<br \/>has<br \/>the potential to impregnate a woman, however, the chance of it occurring is<br \/>substantially lower as are their opportunities to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Neither female nor male vampires are considered fertile according to the code<br \/>at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Should a character become pregnant, she will be subject to an extra string of<br \/>look information describing her state. This may be obscured during early<br \/>phases by wearing concealing clothing, but will always be visible during later<br \/>stages.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to showing, a character can test whether they have become pregnant by<br \/>using a pregnancy test via the use command. Any object containing the<br \/>keywords pregnancy and test can be used in this way and doing so will cause the<br \/>character to urinate on the object. This also sets the item&#8217;s value to 0. These tests<br \/>are generally ineffective before the character misses their next period.<\/p>\n<p>Note: If a shifter becomes pregnant while in their animal form, they will<br \/>be unable to revert to human form until they give birth or the pregnancy is<br \/>terminated. Shifters in animal form may only be impregnated by other animals<br \/>or shifters in animal form.<\/p>\n<p>Characters may be subject to additional effects throughout the duration of the<br \/>pregnancy to ensure that players behave and are reminded of the reality of<br \/>their situation.<\/p>\n<p>In the event that a character suffers a severe wound or greater, there will be<br \/>the possibility of a miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>Should a character wish to willingly terminate a pregnancy for any reason, she<br \/>may use the procedure pregnancy command. This command may also be used in the<br \/>event that the character wishes to become pregnant via an NPC donor. The cost<br \/>of beginning a pregnancy is substantially higher than the costs of terminating<br \/>one though both are prohibitive. The cost of terminating a pregnancy depends<br \/>on how long the pregnancy has been allowed to continue prior to the use of the<br \/>command. Pregnancies beyond twenty four weeks can&#8217;t be terminated as per<br \/>Massachusetts law, unless the mother is at risk. Since that isn&#8217;t an issue<br \/>presented by the code, pregnancies can not be terminated beyond twenty four weeks.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Syntax:<\/span> change pregnancy<br \/>Toggles the character&#8217;s pregnancy state. This command requires a medical<br \/>facility and has a cost associated with it depending on whether or not the<br \/>character is already pregnant.
