	When it comes to [[Dungeons & Dragons]], there are two immutable facts well known amongst the fandom. The first is that [[Wizard]]s have no sense of right or wrong. The second is that [[monstergirls\|humans will bonk anything]]. The '''Progeny''' was an attempt by [[TSR]] to acknowledge these facts in the [[splatbook]] "Glantri: Kingdom of Magic", part of a series of splats updating [[Mystara]] to [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]].

When it comes to [[Dungeons & Dragons]], there are two immutable facts well known amongst the fandom. The first is that [[Wizard]]s have no sense of right or wrong. The second is that [[monstergirls|humans will bonk anything]]. The '''Progeny''' was an attempt by [[TSR]] to acknowledge these facts in the [[splatbook]] "Glantri: Kingdom of Magic", part of a series of splats updating [[Mystara]] to [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]].

"Progeny" is the Glantrian term used to refer to [[human]]s, [[elf|elves]] or [[Half-Elf|half-elves]] who possess distant "monster" ancestry - which in Glantri is defined as "anything with a particularly magical nature". Whilst it can be as generic as "any shapechanged or polymorphed creature", specific examples include [[dragon]]s, [[fey]] ([[nymph]]s, [[dryad]]s, [[satyr]]s, [[sirine]]s all specifically called out), [[doppelganger]]s, [[therianthrope]]s, [[medusa]]e, [rakshasa]]s, [[firbolg]]s, [[diabolus|diaboli]], [[hag]]s and [[swanmay]]s. The result mechanically was a kind of crude proto-template... of course, this being both an AD&D product ''and'' a Mystara product, the mechanics were kind of bullshit.

The default rules for Progeny assume that the plyer is very distantly descended from the original union, and has them roll a d100 to see just how strong their monstrous blood is... assuming you don't roll a 01-50 and thusly are ''faking'' your status as a Progeny, that is. On a 51-93, you're a thinblood; you have no powers beyond the standard Progeny attribute of increased longevity (lifespan is 1d4 times longer than normal). On a 92-95, you're a weakblood; you gain a random defect, which range from merely looking odd to actual mechanical penalties. And on a 96-100, you've got ''one'' random power... and also one random defect if you roll that 100!

All Progeny, regardless of the strength of their blood, suffer a -15% penalty to their experience growth.
