All Changed races of man follow the same basic rules.
Each individual starts as a base template for that race. About 2 to 3 years after puberty, the template completes into a full status:
- One to three stats receive one extra point
- One to three pairs of stats get picked, one stat losing one point, the other gaining one
- The end status has a total stats of 91, regardless of the race.

The minotaurs get their name from their massive size (usually over 7 feet) and their two-feet long horns pointing upward, which develop from nubs soon after puberty. Those horns regenerate rather quickly, growing by up to an inch per week, and there is a thriving market for powdered minotaur horns, usually as a potency medicine.

The brown-green dryads are almost non-gender dysmorphic. Non-dryads find it hard to distinguish male from female, as both sexes have small but apparent breasts and very little external genitalia.

Halioi STR 16 AGI 18 DEX 14 AUT 13 PER 15 EMP 13
Total: 89 + 2 extra stat
(Book 2 Extra: The Wanderer)
Named after the Theoi Halioi, or "gods of the sea", the Halioi are one of the two quasi-aquatic Changed species known to exist. They keep a generally humanoid shape, but with extremely streamlined features, a bulbous domed head, and rubbery skin. Despite legs and arms, they are extremely good swimmers and easily manage 10 minutes of apnea.
It is rumored that the infants are particularly not suited to swimming until puberty, but given their relative isolation, not much is known about that aspect of their biology. Despite the apparent lack of external primary or secondary sexual characteristics, they are indeed a normal dimorphic mammalian species.
