You can do this just like the Rashasa does. In a script that runs at
First/0, do this:

hero.child[cHelpSor].field[cBonusLev].value += 4

And make sure to bootstrap the cHelpSor thing (the Sorcerer class). You
should get a bonus 4 levels of sorcerer, which should stack properly
with all other class levels you take.

There's currently no good way to do this. I'll make sure to add tags to
indicate whether you're male or female in a future release. Once those
are in, you can use them to hide certain abilities based on whether you
do or don't have the correct tag.


Hope this helps,
