Change of Race

Legault · Post by **Legault** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 11:23 pm

With EXTEME amounts of Roleplay, is it possible for somone to change race? Like mayhaps a half-elf wants to be a human because of a recent event. Some kind of racisim against his race. Is it possible for them to do a long and tiring quest for a god to have thier race changed?

Note- I didn't know if I could put it in the race forum, because there was no general race thingy.

On the other hand, you could always get your race changed to a toad or something by really making a deity angry. It has happened before.

On a side note, what if we made a character before the character creation and he is say, for example, a normal elf, and we wanted to get him changed to a sun elf. Thatd require an application, yes?

That is not being done. The coders and builders are currently working on an automated solution to handle that sort of thing, but as it would take a massive ammount of paperwork and effort to do it manually, it is simply not practical to do so.

The old elves all had search, listen and (especially) sneak at GM, while these are not as available to most of the new elf races, and sneak especially is largely unacquirable. Is there a reason for this?

They did not get those skills at GM.

I'm not actually sure what you're saying is correct. I don't remember my elf having listen or search already trained. However everyone gets both of those skills in the lists automatically. As far as it goes if there are changes to the skills available for our new defined elves:
Before all elves were elves. Now elves are better defined. Not all races of elf are going to get the skills that the general elf did. The great part of the new races is to not make elf just a general race but to define each elf race. I think it's pretty logical. :) It's not very hard to train skills. If you want something for your characters it comes with work, rpwise and skillwise.

The staff who codes do not just pick and choose what they give each race. I believe they are taken right from Races of Faerun and adhere to 3rd ed standards. Of course, I could be wrong on where it comes from, but the bottom line is it is not random. :D

To the best of my knowledge, as the guy that wrote most of the helpfiles for the new Races, that indeed Danica is quite correct. The information was taken directly from Races of Faerun.

While their skill sets and stat bonuses and negs, most likely have been adapted to better suit the FK enviornment, for the most part, they all do conform to 3rd ed standards.
