Here's how they currently exist:

Childbirth rolls

Child Birth And Adoptions
- Frequency
As a rule each female character over the age of 14 may receive one childbirth roll per in game year. Only mains or rolled auxes may request a roll. 50/50 split between male and female children.

d100 roll upon request.
1-2, Mother and child die
3-4, Child dies
5-6, Mother dies, girl is born
7-8, Mother dies, boy is born
9-11, Birth complication: mother barren (child dies)
12-15, Birth complication: mother barren (child lives)
16-20, Birth complication: child is disabled (may only have 1 trait point every 10 years) (this may be RP'd however the player sees fit: withered limbs, mentally slow, dwarfism, whatever)
21-50, A healthy girl is born
60, A gifted girl is born (double trait points, players may request Warg or Greenseer if they have an RP story plan)
61-99, A healthy boy is born
100, A gifted boy is born (double trait points, players may request Warg or Greenseer if they have an RP story plan)

Gifted Rolls
Roll 1/50 for every child born. Gifted children will not have any death rolls for their childhood as well as the player's choice of one of the following skills:

1. +3 trait points when a character comes of age (for a maximum of 15 trait points)

2. Warg

3. Greenseer

4. A request for something different, mod approved.


Basically what I want to do it rewrite things to make the "birth complication" in 16-20 more comparable to a gifted roll in terms of standard option choices instead of relying on players to decide. The additional negative trait points will reflect only the extreme nature of the handicap in addition to the traditional restriction upon the number of trait points. This is meant mostly for RP purposes but serves to legitimate the RP purpose by codification in the rules. Ultimately it probably won't come into play all too often. I did, however, make the chances of rolling complications higher. It was amazing to me that in my Frey family and Lannister families of the last game (which were extremely prolific) we had no birth defects except for one. Here are my suggestions:
