My system is player-to-player only, and requires both people to type 'consent <partner>'. I have coded some pretty horrific combat (people can get disembowelled, then stagger off knowing its only so long before they either bleed to death, or their entrails pour out...with a selection of options like this, combat is not for the faint of heart), however there are some things I just would never code. Interestingly my system is also male-to-female only. > > I don't like the idea of > > skill transference, but wealth and equipment are another matter. > > Once play begins with the new character perhaps there are necessary > > expenditures for the NPC parents if still living? > > Anyone for a 'borrow money from parents' subsystem, with attendant > requirements that you go to dinner and write or visit more often? ;) I agree that skills should not be 'transferred'...however there is no reason why you couldn't bring up your son/daughter to follow in your footsteps, thus they would be quite likely to have some of your skills.
