Really? Damn, I was really hoping that wasn't the case.. I actually got TWO scroll bonus children, one for 6 and one 4 scrolls... imagine my dissapointment... As a mage, I've yet to actually ever use a scroll in battle.
Oh well, I guess I'll just pretend that magic makes you serile or something

. Or that I actually play a hero with enough common sense not to have children in the middle of a battle, but I prefer the first explanation.
Those 3 extra artifact slots sure come in handy...
