| <p>The genetics of a child are decided by averaging the skill levels of the parents while attributes are set for base levels with racial bonuses.

| <p>If the parents of a child are too closely related, there is a chance they will be mechanically defined as “inbred". This may occur if the parents are within two vertical steps (parents or grandparents) or two horizontal steps (siblings, cousin) of the same family branch. The chance for cousins to produce an inbred child is 50%. All other relations listed above result in a 100% chance of producing an inbred child. | <p>If the parents of a child are too closely related, there is a chance they will be mechanically defined as “inbred".

| </p><p>If a child is inbred, they will begin with lowest possible stats (no benefit from genetic inheritance or from racial bonus). Additionally, one attribute (and all of its related skills) will forever be stunted at its lowest level (it cannot gain experience). Finally, the child will only receive the basic 10% chance to have magical ability, regardless of whether one or both parents have magic. An inbred child is indicated by looking at the Character menu near the racial description, other characters cannot see this status. The attribute and its associated skills which have been stunted will be indicated on the character skills sheet as having grey labels. | </p><p>If a child is inbred, they will begin with the lowest possible stats (no benefit from genetic inheritance or from racial bonus).
