DracoGaurd Augments, or DracoGuard+

[Kandrew123]

I thought it was strange that DracoGuard did not afford several of the breast characteristics described in the Gryvain codex entry, and the addition of these modifications to the pill, or the implementation of a more advanced pill, would be a boon to Gryvain enthusiasts.
Most notably, their pink milk is missing entirely from the game and is unobtainable from any source, and a greater variety of milk flavors is always a nice thing.
Staying with the topic of breasts, a racial perk that increases bust size with each pregnancy, similar to Fecund Figure, would also be in line with the codex.
A heat cycle could also be a thoughtful addition, but the impact of fertility may be unwanted, as staying true to codex would render female PCs infertile outside of estrus.
Lastly, as I do not know the feasibility of this change, changing PC offspring from live young to eggs, which would proceed to be sent to the nursery, hatch, then grow as normal, would be a noteworthy change, but would most likely create to much of a change in birthing scenes.

i feel like this perk would be a good addition, just an addon for gryvain race without really needing to write for it

I'm fine with all those just being added to normal Dracoguard.

That'd be fine with me, I'm not sure what further you could write about for most of these though. Maybe some adjectives to describe Gryvain milk? Pink, pastel, rosy, draconic, reptilian maybe?
For the breast perk, would the blanket breast expansion flavor text not suffice, or does the Fecund Figure perk have unique text to denote the source of the expansion? If all it needs is a name, maybe Motherly Mammaries? Alliteration is nice, and the name does not exclude itself from being applied to other transformatives if anyone happens to like the idea. I would also imagine that Gryvain milk should also raise the racial score by 1.
If a player happened to obtain the heat transformation, a scene could occur where the PC notices how aroused they are, and a codex alert would confirm that they are ovulating, the result of which would be a 30 day heat, raising minimum lust by 33 and increasing lust attack damage by 25% for the duration. If the PC Gryvain racial score falls below 9, they would lose the perk and regain normal fertility. Sticking strictly to the codex makes the fertility windows seem too sparse for me though, so perhaps the PC's fertility could increase their window fertility they have, ex. 100% = 1 month, 200% = 2 months, 1200% = 12 months. After 1200%, their fertility cycle would be almost normal, but they would still experience their 1 month of heat, and during this month, their fertility would be double their current amount, rather than have the player be in heat permanently (or would that be appealing to you?) .
Lastly, for the live birth change, perhaps all birth scenes for non-oviposition vaginal pregnancies could be changed to one egg laying scene. I'd have to read some more large, solid egg-laying scenes for inspiration first. Losing the perk would be the same as with the heat perk, just let the Gryvain racial score fall below 9, and the perk is lost.

i agree

After 1200%, their fertility cycle would be almost normal, but they would still experience their 1 month of heat, and during this month, their fertility would be double their current amount, rather than have the player be in heat permanently (or would that be appealing to you?) .

Instead of the perk making a custom heat cycle, I think it would be a better idea for the perk to, once every however many days there are in one Vendiko standard year, induce the already-existing Deep Heat status effect (+1,000% Fertility, +35 Minimum Lust, +25 Libido, +5 Tease Damage) with a duration of 30 days. Outside that window, Steele's microsurgeons cause them to maintain their normal fertility levels. That way, Steele can still get a heat cycle without the inconvenience of having to wait for it if they want to get pregnant. Of course, if Steele has the Infertility perk (from character creation) or the Sterile perk (from overdosing on Sterilex), they shouldn't be able to get the perk at all (for obvious reasons). Perhaps half-gryvain Steeles should be able to get (or start off with) a weaker version that sends them into regular Heat (+500% Fertility, +25 Minimum Lust, +10 Libido, +5 Tease Damage) instead of Deep Heat? Maybe this could also apply to other races that have a natural heat cycle (ausars/huskars, laquines, leithans and saurmorians are the only ones I know of that also have a relevant racial transformative, so there'd be a total of five other transformatives and two more starter races to modify (three or four, if half-huskar and/or half-laquine are ever added in the future)), with modifications to the perk as appropriate for that race.

Lastly, for the live birth change, perhaps all birth scenes for non-oviposition vaginal pregnancies could be changed to one egg laying scene. I'd have to read some more large, solid egg-laying scenes for inspiration first. Losing the perk would be the same as with the heat perk, just let the Gryvain racial score fall below 9, and the perk is lost.

Given how each pregnancy type has its own birthing scenes, I'm not sure changing all live birth scenes to a single egg-laying scene would be a good idea, especially if it gets in the way of what the writer intended for that pregnancy. Additionally, unless the eggs hatch straight away, you'd need to add in hatching times, disable interacting with the offspring until they hatch and modify the duration of the pregnancy (since egg-pregnancies are generally shorter than live-birth-pregnancies), which would have to be done for every single relevant pregnancy in the entire game, which is probably way too much work (especially for the coders) and again, might get in the way of what the writer intended for that pregnancy. It's probably a better idea to let Steele's microsurgeons maintain at least some semblance of humanoid fertility/pregnancy and let only the pregnancy type determine whether it end in live birth or egg-laying.

The rest, though, I think would be a good idea. Except for gryvain milk having the 'reptilian' adjective, since gryvain are more mammalian than reptilian.

I like this idea better, I forgot that microsurgeons will sometimes fight transformations, like blocking the bunny ears from turning all your eggs laprine.

I thought that too, but I don't see why the pregnancy itself should be changed. All the pregnancy scenes can stay the same, Steele just has a bumpy adjective added to her belly if she has many eggs. Whereas birth itself is concerned, I had similar reservations, but if I recall correctly, waiting for the full term in the maternity room will deprive you of the birthing scene, so I don't think that it's something unprecedented.

Except for gryvain milk having the 'reptilian' adjective, since gryvain are more mammalian than reptilian.

I went with that since the gryvain penis has the reptilian adjective, but maybe a middle ground between the two could work? I'll have to think something up.
