“Alright, if I can’t exit this game, let’s see what I can do.”
A short while later, Nabiki was frowning in thought as she closed the Help menu. Despite its name, it hadn’t been all that helpful. Most of its entries seemed to give only an extremely brief explanation and a reference to the user manual for further details.
Unfortunately, one of the things she did discover was that it wasn’t possible to backtrack out of the character creation menu. Once a choice was entered, it was final. So she was stuck playing through the game as a sex-slave.
On the other hand, she had found some ways to make an acceptable character even with the limitations imposed by her new class. A diligent review of the choices of races, skills and selectable characteristics resulted in a number of possibilities to bend the rules to her advantage.
First, she needed to decide what role she wanted to take.
Sex-slaves weren’t given much in the way of Fighter options, but if she maxed out what was available, she thought she could manage a credible warrior.
On the other hand, Healers were usually protected from combat. Surprisingly, there were some decent healing skills available to her. As the party healer, she would have considerable influence, and a respected position in the party.
Another decent possibility was going for a sneaky role. Some of the traditional thief abilities were unavailable to her class, but those that were available could form the basis for a competent sneak.
Perhaps the most challenging choice would be the magic-user role. This one offered hints of serious power, but the limitations on the magics available to sex-slaves were severe. Without a better understanding of the rules she couldn’t tell if the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages.
Of course, trying to simulate a different Character Class necessatated comprimises that weakened her character. Perhaps she should just work with the rules and max out her potential in her unwanted class.
Or, she could try something else…
After a lot of thought, Nabiki decided…
