When creating your character, you may choose a gender: male or female. This affects a number of events in the game:

  • Female characters can lay eggs when polymorphed into a monster that lays eggs
  • Male characters are seduced by the succubus, female characters by the incubus.

The Valkyrie is the only class that can only start as female, although her gender can be changed at will with an amulet of change.
