Human Paragon and changing type.

[ForgottenCode]

Hi,

I have a rules question. I’m about to play in a game where I would like to take Human Paragon and wizard levels before entering the Fleshwarper prc from Lords of Madness. My DM brought something up. At level 10 of the prc I change into an aberration. So what would happen to the paragon levels?

I think this covers it. It refers to magic effects, but I'm pretty sure the transformation you describe would have the same result.

It’s possible for a powerful magic effect such as shapechange, reincarnate, or wish to change a character’s race. If a character has already taken racial paragon levels in his original race, he can never become a paragon of another race. However, such shapechanging and form-altering magics also cause no loss of a paragon’s class abilities—the class abilities gained from racial paragon levels are affected no more or less drastically than benefits gained from having levels in any other class.

Perfect, thanks for the quick reply.

Race ≠ Type
Human Fleshwarper 10 will stay Human - just like Human Dragon Disciple 10, or about any other transforming effect in the game (short of Reincarnate spell line, or Wish/Miracle shenanigans)

Bear in mind also that racial paragon classes are NOT prestige classes, so any rules about losing the benefits of a prestige class have no effect on your levels in Human Paragon.

Nothing. You're still Human.
