Re: Gender politics
I think this argument is self-evident, which is not code for "arbitrary". It is code for "I think you can figure out the rest of the argument from the snippet I posted".
Since you can't, here's a fleshed out version:
Convert a few uniques from male to female.
The current gender balance for uniques is about 70/30 M/F, which is quite uneven. There's no real in-universe reason. It reflects an unconscious preference for creating male uniques by past creators. This is fine. Unfortunately, the gender balance now implies something unintended about the crawl universe. To compensate, change several uniques from men to women. Uniques based on real-life references are not touched.
Also neuter Pan lords, matching the general demonic trend.
The final gender distribution is closer to 55/45.
