Physician Thread
Childbirth
The procedure is the simplest. Simply post requesting the childbirth roll. The moderator will do the roll and post the outcome. The rolls would be for first the wife’s (or mistress’s) survival, second the survival of the child, and last the gender of the child. The odds are mentioned below.
No-Assistance
Wife’s survival: 8/20
Child’s survival: 6/20
Mid-Wife (The most basic assistance) – 500 Reichmarks
Wife’s survival: 12/20
Child’s survival: 10/20
Regular Physician (Average) – 1,500 Reichmarks
Wife’s survival: 14/20
Child’s survival: 12/20
Experienced Physician (Renowned) – 3,000 Reichmarks
Wife’s survival: 17/20
Child’s survival: 15/20
Physician of the Imperial Household (The best in the Reich) - For Emperor –> Free; Electors –> 3,000 Reichmarks; and Others –> 5,000 Reichmarks.
Wife’s survival: 19/20
Child’s survival: 17/20
The following are the important points regarding the childbirth rolls.
- You must post clearly, the name of your character for whose spouse the roll is being rolled. The character can be main, or heir, or any family member of the main character.
- Do not post the roll request for auxiliary characters. You can simple assume them to have children.
- Only the child from a legal marriage sanctified by the church would be considered as legitimate. Otherwise, it would be considered as illegitimate.
- Only legitimate children can inherit personal fortune (by default) or stand successor or inherit the family name. You can however include them in the will (for personal fortunes) if you are intending for it to become the main character.
- You cannot ask for a childbirth roll more than once in a week (real life). If you consecutively ask for four rolls every week, a death roll for the wife will be added from fifth week onwards. My advice would be to wait two weeks before asking the roll again.
