Alter Race
6th-level Transmutation
Casting time: 1 hour
Range: Touch/Self
Components: V, S, M (a small piece(like hair or nails) of the new race which the spell consumes)
Duration: Permanent


This spell can be used to allow the caster to alter it's or another beings race. Beings effected by this spell receive the Traits and Stats, only applies to Physical stats, of the new race, replacing those given by the old race. This effect is Permanent, but can be reversed by a second casting of this spell for the original race.

  • The size of the new race must be within 1 size category of the original race. Changing the size can result in death or Injury and always... mutation! (roll a D20, your body mutates and take 2d10 necrotic damage if the result is 10 or lower and half if higher. This damage cannot be reduced. Also if you had failed the first D20 roll, roll another D20. Depending on the result, take one wild mutation from the Wild Mutaion table.) (but if you roll in the range of 18 to 20... the spell Succeeds!!)
  • It is difficult to alter your race to a totally different category. ex. a Humanoid can turn into another humanoid or Monstrous Humanoid, but changing race to Abberation, Dragon, or Outsider can cause serious damage to the body and mutation. (roll a D20, your body mutates and take 4d10 necrotic damage if the result is 10 or lower and half if higher. This damage cannot be reduced. Also if you had failed the first D20 roll, roll another two D20. Depending on the result, take two wild mutation from the Wild Mutaion table. The two mutations can stack.) (but if you roll a 20... the spell Succeeds!!)
  • Using this spell gives Temporary immunity to another casting of it equal to 1d6 weeks.
  • Races Naturally immune to polymorph or of the Shapechanger subtype are immune to this spell.
