NPC gender-specific dialogue?

If I use the "Random" boss-type for a critter group that spans a wide range of levels (Circle of Thorns and Arachnos, in this case), is there any way I can have a variable which notes which gender the critter is? I'll probably be using it in the boss's custom description, and I was thinking about the problems of using "he" for, say, a CoT Succubus or an Arachnos Tarantula Queen.

There isn't a way, but you can get around it by calling the boss by their name, or using gender-neutral language.

Of course, there's always events in the canon game such as an ambush consisting of Carnival Strongmen which shout out "Let's get 'em, girls!"

Okay, thanks.

I may need to jiggle the descriptions a bit.

Well, the Strongmen are just dumb hunks of muscle with a different intelligence piloting them.

I mean, dudes can't freaking SEE.

The other thing you can do is create a custom group: that is, create a user-designed group called "Carnival of Shadows" and only stick in females. That way, you know that what's going to spawn in that group will always be "she."
