Re: [pcgen] How to implement race change due to reincarnation

Easy, change the race from what he was, to what he is. Or in your case,
simply change the race to Gnoll.

That is the easiest question I've had in a long time. Thanks. :)

But I don't think I can change his race in mid-stream. Or can I?
