QED

I just had a thought regarding the Unequaled Obesity heroic ability. Under my proposal:
1. Undead beings cannot get this (see Archonsod's post three up.). Makes no thematic sense.
2. If a female character ends up with it, a fertility cult springs up in whatever province she goes through. Scales slapped to Growth 3 while there, dropping back to local at one scale/turn after she leaves. Local Dominion is reduced by the number of Growth scale tips (Ex. from Death 2 scale local Dom drops 5 points or to 0 if it was less than 5 to start with) recovering normally. (This mechanic may only make sense in Early Era.)
Discuss.

Ewww! Female gets it, fertility / pop growth should _decrease_! It'd be different if she got "Awe/Seduction/etc" with it, _maybe_, but ....

Though there are some pretenders that'd make sense for, or if the Sacred Dancer commanders could get "exotic dancer" for a heroic ability

(1)Ewww! Female gets it, fertility / pop growth should _decrease_! It'd be different if she got "Awe/Seduction/etc" with it, _maybe_, but ....

Responding to (1): Back in prehistory/ dawn of civilization, that was (excuse the pun) a big thing. Meant she'd survive a bad season. Priorities have changed since, but at the point in history that matches up with the events in hand extra weight was actually a positive. Think Venus of Willendorf (sp?)
(2): Pretenders don't get heroic abilities for being Hall of Famers.
