Race guide

You can change race at any time after Update 7.

Use the race-changing mirror on the southern shore, or the changeappearance command. Update 7 also adds Uruhan as a playable northern bearman and gives non-host co-op characters a separate update path.

Update 7 adds the northern bearmen as a player race.

Then use that updated character for multiplayer.

How to change your race

  1. Install Update 7 or any later build.
  2. Travel to the southern shore.
  3. Use the race-changing mirror there.
  4. Return to the mirror whenever you want to change again.

A mirror on the southern shore can change your race at any time; the changeappearance command is another option. The official update identifies the shore and the mirror, but it does not publish a marked map coordinate or a step-by-step route from every starting point.

If you already know how to use the in-game console, Update 7 also adds changeappearance as an alternative. This guide does not assume an unofficial console key or a copied command list.

How Uruhan fits into the current race list

Update 7 added Uruhan as a playable northern bearmen race.

That makes Uruhan a current character option rather than an NPC or enemy entry. The official note does not provide a complete table of racial bonuses, penalties or starting skills, so those values are not invented here.

Changing race as a co-op non-host

A non-host can change race in their own single-player game to update their multiplayer character.

  1. Leave the shared session.
  2. Open your own single-player game.
  3. Use the race-change route there.
  4. Rejoin multiplayer with the updated character.

This is specifically the non-host flow named in Update 7. It does not establish separate rules for host save ownership or quest rewards.

Check the current co-op save, quest and revive rules.

What can change besides appearance

Update 7 added more dialogue reactions to the player's race.

Race can therefore affect some conversations. The update does not publish a complete dialogue branch list or promise that changing race rewrites earlier choices, completed quests or past NPC reactions.

If the mirror or Uruhan is missing

  1. Confirm the game includes Update 7 or later.
  2. Look on the southern shore, not at the original creator.
  3. If you are a non-host player, make the change in your own single-player game before rejoining.
  4. Do not use launch-day race guides that predate the reusable mirror and Uruhan addition.
