Actually this was covered already so I won't get in much detail.

Basically in YGGDRALIS it is possible to change race, certain items can be used for it, such as a magical book that could turn one into a undead or a magical feather that can turn one into an angel, I'm guessing there are even other items for each race, but as I recall there are downsides to changing your characters race, perhaps even becoming permanent (don't quote me on that, I read so many comments on this site it get's difficult to keep track of all the information).

Also, you are correct in trying to compare certain mechanics from D&D and other D&D inspired games, since Overlord is heavily inspired from them, that's why so many peaple don't get how it works sometimes since when they hear MMO they imediatly think of WoW.
