Physicians House
Physicians House
This is the Physicians House. If your wife is in labour, come here and he will see what he may do.
[Post here for Childbirth rolls. See the chances in the dice table]
In GSTK in order to continue on our characters legacy we have a simple childbirth system to enable players to have approved heirs for their wealth, items, lands and titles. In order to request a birth roll simply post here indicating the level of physician you desire.
- Frequency
As a rule a player may only request a childbirth/adoption roll once every 2 real weeks. Only mains or rolled auxes may request a roll.
- Costs and Chances
The below costs represent not only the cost of the birth, but other expenses such as the doctor travelling to your home to deliver the child etc. There are two chances, first a chance for the wife’s survival during the birth and a second for the child’s survival. A roll is also performed to determine the gender of the child.
No Physician (literally on your own without medical assistance) - Free
Chance of Wife's survival: 12/20
Chance of Child's survival: 10/20
Poor Physician - 15 Florins
Chance of Wife's survival: 14/20
Chance of Child's survival: 12/20
Average Physician - 30 Florins
Chance of Wife's survival: 16/20
Chance of Child's survival: 14/20
Renown Physician - 50 Florins

Chance of Child's survival: 16/20
King's Physician (reserved only for... Guess who?) - Free
Chance of Wife's survival: 19/20
Chance of Child's survival: 17/20
- Adoption
In GSTK you might sometimes wish to adopt a child. Providing that it isn't the rolled child of another player. The following rolls are made depending on your station in life. These are to represent the risk of childhood disease. Any adoption is subject to the kings whim. So if he dislikes you adopting, he is within his rights to demand that they not take your family name (and thus unable to inherit). Adoptions are subject to the two week gap rule, just as births are.
Lower Class (Freedman or equivalent) - 10/20 chance of survival
Middle Class (Knight or equivalent) - 13/20 chance of survival
Upper Class (Baron/Earl or equivalent) - 15/20 chance of survival
Nobility (Dukes, Princes and Kings) - 16/20 chance of survival
