Race Conversion Process Open Now through December 2015

Now that the new race rules are live you are free to convert your character to the new races between now and the end of the year.

How? Simple. Log into the card system and look at your character card. There is a linked called "Race Rewrite" at the top of the page. Click that. It will take you to a screen that will automatically detect your new race an which old racial skills you need to unlearn.

If you want to change race from the one selected please click on the "Select a Different Race" button. It will give you the full list to choose from.

Then simply enter the quantity of replacement skills you want and click "Submit Proposal". A few days later one of the Card Marshals will be looking through the list of submitted proposals and will accept it. If there is a question they may reach out to you via email or other social media methods if they have the means.

If you do not like your proposed rewrite there is a Delete Proposal button which will remove your proposal and prevent its accidental acceptance.

A couple of notes:

-- it is possible to wind up with negative build as a result of this conversion. If this happens you will simply have to wait until you have earned to positive build before you can buy more skills or you can unlearn other things if you want to adjust back to a positive unspent build total. We are ok with you running on negative build for a few events if it means you get the Racial Skill that you really want now.

-- after December rolls around we will automatically convert any PC over to the new rules. We will NOT buy any skills for you but we WILL give you the racial detriment. Please take the time between now and December to convert over.

-- if you have any special situations about your conversion, please reach out to me or to Mike Smith and we will help you figure out your situation and help you get rewritten.

I'm not going to be switching right away, but I wanted to point out an error I just found.

When looking at the Race Rewrite for my Londwyn, it doesn't give my Academic Lore as an option to unlearn, even though we'll be getting it as part of our new racial package. I realize that this skill is different for every Londwyn (and since a few of us are Scholars there might even be more than one), but I just wanted to make you aware of it.

There are bound to be bugs since this is new code and there are many permutations of characters.

[strike]I just found a bug on my own. If you have a racial skill that requires you to select an option (like Cantrip) that is currently not functional. I'll be working to fix that and I will let everyone know. So if you are a High Elf for example, please hold off for now.[/strike]

Fixed the bug with Cantrips.

For dwarf does not give the option to rebuy our free Trade option.

xoxoxox

Thanks for finding that bug Jeff -- I am pretty sure I know why it is there, I may try to correct that tonight.

For Romani, it's not letting me choose either of the Way of the Wanderer skills (Detect or Luxury).

Detect is a skill that you get to choose at the time of using it.

Luxury is an oversight -- you should be able to pick a type for that. For now don't worry about that, if you get a Trade Proficiency Luxury you can pick the type there and it will be fine.

Do kitiera/namierrans lose access to Tumble?
Do they no longer have a weakness of double damage from fire?

Yes to both questions.

So Romani effectively have a detect all sources since they choose the source at the time of use, and it's continuous?

Let us try to keep rules questions to the rules board threads and conversion questions to this thread.

Yes

August Event Race Rewrite Cutoff

If you want to convert your character's race over to the new rules to be effective for the August Event you must get your conversion proposal in by the end of the day Sunday August 9th.

Which would be most expedient if one wishes to unlearn skill(s) to help pay for the conversion; at sign in, or appealing to a card marshal between events?

Halfling bug I found...
Though it is a free skill under the old race rules, Trade: Cook does not appear in the Learning New list. Any Trade Proficiencies a player has associated with this skill also do not appear on the Unlearned From Old list.

Either option would be fine. You can also message me for this case.

Trade Proficiency is not a "racial" skill so it wouldn't show up to unlearn. If this situation applies to you let me know and I can fix it manually for now after you are forced to unlearn it I can put it back on your card from commoner, or unlearn the trade proficiencies if you prefer that.

Family Friendly Festival Race Rewrite Cutoff is Monday night.

Just two quick questions about the conversion tool.

1. When listing skills from the new Barbarian list I see that you can get different quantities of skills. Is that possible, because I thought racials could only be acquired once?

2. There is an option to get Kormyrian Assimilation and Magic Intolerance. Am I supposed to just put a "1" next to the option that I'm going for? Like if I'm alright with the detriments I just selected 1 quantity for Magic Intolerance and leave Assimilation at 0?

The racial skill quantity boxes won't actually let you put in a number higher than 1. The quantity box is there for those other skills that you might be able to learn from a list, like Tolerance for Coast Haveners who also happen to have Swashbuckler.

You only need Magic Intolerance OR Kormyrian Assimilation. Put a 1 in the one you want, leave the other at zero.

for Selendrian - lore forest is listed as part of Nature's heritage, but is lested to have to pay an additional build on respend screen. Bow is also listed to rebuy for 2

BTW, bow prof for 4, becomes not repurchase for 6, it will cost me, and most archers 18

Diane, this happened with me and was explained.

Lore: Forest is on Druid, therefore if you didn't want to get Nature's Heritage, you can purchase it off Druid.
Bow is 2 on Archer, so no Nature's Heritage, you can purchase Bow off Archer.
Bow Prof wouldn't turn to 6 unless you didn't have >6 profs already. Since Bow Prof turns into a standard Bow Prof and not a benefit for being Selendrian.

If you are getting Nature's Heritage, you don't need to purchase Bow for 2 or Lore:Forest since they are part of Nature's Heritage.

What Conor has posted is correct.

I think in the case of me, there may be an error. I know I am a Kormyrian, so this would have minimal effect on me, but I do not see that option to convert to the new system. Just though I should point that out in case I happen to not be the only one affected by it.

It looks like you're already a new Kormyrian in the system and have the option to buy the new racial, so no need to convert in your case.

It is December. This is your final reminder to submit race changes before they are done for you automatically.

All race changes must be done before December 25th. In the last week of the year I will review and apply all Race Changes and then I will automatically transition everyone who did not convert per the original post in this thread.
