Åtminstone så långt som Torg Eternity finns det inget som säger att raserna förändras för någon. Eftersom tävlingarna inte bara är vanliga människor blev de andra raserna i någon verklighet, men föddes den här rasen till sin ursprungliga verklighet. Annars kommer kompetens / förmåner att förändras för att möta den nya verkligheten.
Races found only in other cosms, including edeinos, elves, and dwarves, don’t change race if they transform, but they may become confused or crazed by the process. Elves are especially hard hit if the reality they conform to doesn’t have a high enough Magic Axiom to support them. Such elves don’t die, but the Magical Affinity ability is always in effect. Transformed Ords often gain new, equivalent skills to fit their reality. A college teacher could suddenly find himself casting magic spells in Aysle, or a mechanic could operate a cyberware chop shop in the Cyberpapacy. Ords remember their old lives, but they have a hard time concentrating on contradictory concepts. An Ord who transforms to the Living Land remembers that automobiles exist and that they get you from one place to another, but couldn’t explain how they work or drive one.
