So let's say that there's this Legacy of Fire campaign.
And let's say that the party is entirely comprised of characters who are siblings (everyone took the Finding Haleen trait) but every character chose a different race. The genes of the family are already pretty scrambled, is what I'm implying.
So let's say that one of those characters, a Suli, is a bit of a loose woman who enjoys travelling to exotic locations and isn't too picky about the nature of her suitors. Further, while pregnant from mating with a number of monstrous humanoids, outsiders, etc. with no knowledge of which is the father, the mom gets stabbed in the stomach with a syringe by an alchemist who worships Lamashtu or Rovagug or some such.
Now, much later in the campaign, let's say the mom has given birth to a child who ages incredibly quickly (at least until the teens), has natural shapeshifting and magic powers, and appears to be largely carnivorous and amoral.
Where would you suggest raising the child/enrolling it in tradeschool?
This scenario has the potential to pull the mother away from the rest of the party just as they enter the final module of the AP.
Does anyone think that it would be a good idea to contact the Proteans for aid in understanding/helping the child? Should the child be encouraged to pursue what "feels natural" even if that involves eating the hearts of intelligent creatures to gain their memories? (Mom is LN)
How do you even discipline a kid who might be able to kill you at a couple of weeks old?
