 ==Strategy==
-Though gender tends to have limited impact on gameplay, the amulet of change has some niche uses: its most notable one is to reliably become female in order to then [[polymorph]] into a [[dragon]] or other [[oviparous]] creature to lay [[egg]]s, since there is no other way to polymorph specifically into a female version of a monster.

-[[Tourist]]s looking to maximize their [[spellcasting]] potential through raising their [[experience level]] and [[energy]] may want an amulet of change to make use of the incubi and succubi present on the goal level of [[Tourist quest|their quest]].
