Races

All races except humans have the potential to grow into something stronger over time. Once all of your character's ten stat categories are maxed out, (strength, dex, wisdom, etc) you can choose to transform (charisma is a static stat, and does not need to be maxed to reach next evolution). 

You will for a time be weaker after doing this. Your stats will fall below what they were, so you will have to raise them back up through training. However, you will now have better racial resistances and fewer weaknesses while having higher statistical maximums than before. There are sometimes chances of a random 'extra' that occurs to a person when they transform that will not occur to all, like perhaps extra strong scales that help armor class. The following is a list of the races and their evolutions.

Racial modifications are not chosen races, but if you can find the secret to making a ghost, zombie, skeleton or vampire, this change tacks onto and alters your existing race.
