How many times have you been tapped son ? Before you take your rightful place as a recruit of Dave Cheng's legion of Humakti (Tap Victims all SIZ 1 STR 1 INT 1 , etc.) think about what you are saying. This is a fantasy RPG . female characters have the same stat roll ups as men. They are the same size and strength. There is just as good a chance of a hulking drooling Babeesta Gor as a Storm Bull. Your argument regarding polygamy being the same as prostitution lacks content and merit. The roles taken in a lawful polygamistic society do not in anyway resemble those of a prositutional arrangement. Read some Pearl S. Buck regarding historical China for insight regarding polygamy.
Remember that while some cultures are modeled after cultures in our world they are not exactly the same. Definitely no experience check for your submission.
