Questions about the different Sphinxes


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


In the Classic Monsters it is stated that
"Of all the males, only the criosphinx willingly helps rear its own young, often as part of the bargain for mating in the first place"
Why are the Androsphinxes unwilling to help raise their children? This does not seem to be in keeping with their good alignment.

Also, given that they are the product of a gynosphinxe being brutally raped by a Hieracosphinx why do gynosphinxes allow their hieracosphinx offspring to survive?


Good question. I've never got how a hieracosphinx would even be able to rape a gynosphinx in the first place since they are a lot more powerful. Plus a hieracosphinx has 6 int and a gynosphinx has 18 int so even if she was outnumbered seems like it would be easy for her to outsmart them and escape.


Might want to ask this on the main forum as this board is really inactive for some reason.
