Re: Caring for infants with an all-male party?
Historically, one solution to this problem was to soak a rag in sugar-water and let the baby suck on that. It's far from ideal, of course, but it'll keep the kid alive until you can reach civilization.
Given that goodberries are magically nutritious, I'd have to expect that they'd work at least as well as a sugar-rag, and probably significantly better.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: Caring for infants with an all-male party?
All I can really think to say is that reading this thread has convinced me that adventurers should not partake in child care before retirement.
Good gods, man. Curses, transmutations, somebody suggested hollowing out an undead creature for a play-pen. Could you imagine the damage this kind of stuff would do to a small child's psyche if it continued for longer than just a few days?
................ I have a new BBEG. He was raised by active adventurers using many of the previously made suggestions. His mind has been irrevocably warped by being in near constant danger since before he could walk and has been subjected to all of the weird magics that adventurers are regularly subjected too. He was even killed and raised more than once as a child.I am not seaweed. That's a B.

Re: Caring for infants with an all-male party?
While the heroes are the ones who were dropped off somewhere.
In fact, where they got dropped off determines their class. Paladins and Clerics were dropped off at the local temple; Druids and Rangers, raised by wolves and whatnot; Monks, at the monastery; Rogues, at the orphanage. Fighters were the kids that were old enough to get away on their own when their village was being burned down.

Re: Caring for infants with an all-male party?
True That.
I have only one thing to say to that, "GO TEAM VENTURE!"
Although... speaking of BBEGs...

"It was horrific, they made me a level 20 commoner. I wasn't even old enough to choose my own feats. But I got even, oh yes I did. my "Aunt" made the mistake of introducing me to a psion who knew psionic reformation, and one of his friends taught me to dark chaos shuffle... and that made all the difference."

I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

Re: Caring for infants with an all-male party?
The obvious solution is to start a cult that worships the baby. Once the baby has Divine rank 0 it doesn't need to eat anymore.
Other ideas include:
Sell the babies soul to the abyss in exchange for a succubus to nurse the baby.
Cast "Bite of the Wolf" on the baby so it has teeth and can eat.
PAO/shapechange/wildshape yourself into a cow/nursing woman.
Magic fang the baby (probably won't actually work)
Shadow conjure a cow.
Use miracle to make the baby take care of itself (using the "very powerful request" form)
Lesser planar ally/binding something that can feed it.
Gate in a Balor and use it's wish ability to feed it.
Kill it and use reincarnate so it stops being a baby
Cast "Awaken" on the baby so it becomes a magical beast able to feed itself with 3d6 int.
Have the baby drink the "nectar like beverage" from heroes' feast.
Create food and water specifies "The food that this spell creates is simple fare of your choice—highly nourishing, if rather bland." That seems to imply that if you want baby food style food, you get it.
Put it in a stasis of some sort until you find someone who can feed it. Ways to deal with it later include:
Killing it and rezzing it.
Covering the baby in quintessence.
Casting "Temporal Stasis" on the baby.
Flesh to Stone.
Casting "Imprisonment"
Leaving it on the NE plane for a bit.

Re: Caring for infants with an all-male party?
Time for a quick Flesh to Stone spell. Stow it in a backpack and cast Stone to Flesh when you get back to town.

Re: Caring for infants with an all-male party?
If you have a cleric in the party then have them cast Create Food and Water and mash the food into paste because it says it's bland but nourishing. If you don't have a cleric the ask your DM for this spell as a druid since druid only gets Purify Food and Water while cleric gets both spells.

Re: Caring for infants with an all-male party?
This reminds of something in one of my campaigns two years back.
I was playing a tiny two foot tall kobald sorcerer. And we had a warforge knight as the meat shield. Because we couldn't find a small enough mount for me we got a master craftsmen to make a small living space inside the warforge including bed and small storage area.
Anyway that's a pretty good idea
