This is just a list of shift options for each race. It's not intended to replace the Shift article. It just a convenient tool for Empaths and their clients. Shift options are described in a user-friendly way (for those not familiar with the syntax).

Explanation of Options

In general, you can select one option per "slot." Slots for your race are listed below.

The options absent, standard, and original don't appear verbatim in a character's description.

  • absent: feature is not mentioned in the description
  • standard: the default value for your race (often absent)
  • original: the value that the character had when he left the Character Manager (often inaccurate)


The "beard freeze" option removes the facial hair line from a character's description. Facial hair will not grow unless the procedure is reversed in a subsequent shift. This feature only works if the character is clean shaven.

For each race, a male and a female appearance are given that show the placement of all features (if enabled). The male appearance shows facial hair (if available) and eyes of the same color. The female appearance shows eyes that are different colors.

Dwarves, Elves, Elotheans, Gnomes, Halflings, Humans, and Kaldar

Moonskin-related features can only be shifted while you are in Moonskin.

Some features, such as "human-like" skin color and Moonskin fur color, can be altered independently via shift. (In other words, having your fur shifted to another color won't affect your skin color, and vice versa.)
