That's a good idea, I just have one thing to add to it... you should be able to assign them CON_GET_RACE, at least I don't see why the code would have a problem w/ it, and at the end of CON_GET_RACE, after it sets all their parts, etc... btw, one problem you may run into is the fact that if they've trained their stats up (str, con, etc.), you could create a temp array to hold the difference between their current values of stats and the default values of their current race's stats, to see that they trained their str 3 times, con twice, etc... and apply those to their new race's base stats so they don't lose the value of any trains and whatnot, except that their current class no longer exists... you could simply transfer their stats directly over to their new race, but then you run the risk of say, if they have 25 str, and they choose a class that maxes at 23, do they still get 25 applied, or maybe something like UMIN(ch->perm_stat[stat],pc_race_table[ch->race].max_stat[stat]) (or however it words the array that holds their max stat values... anyway, things to consider, have fun :D

I think his idea is half-assed myself (No offense) But some players might not want to be human after they find out thier favourite race is dead :S. Also, remember, ch->parts, etc, are set upon creation, so if the race is gone, you have to update all those flags. This is why I say you give them a new choice for a race, then they can pick it, and you can update thier stats. You can just use CON_GET_RACE, come to think of it. Just, at, the end, have like, if(ch->level > 0 ) d->connected = IS_IMMORTAL(ch) ? CON_READ_IMOTD : CON_READ_MOTD; else d->connected = CON_GET_CLASS; Now, I don't remember if the next step actually is class... might be sex, whatever, just replace CON_GET_CLASS with the proper state. Also, make sure that new chars that are sent into the nanny's level is 0. Just put something in CON_CONFIM_PASSWORD to zero it, and it should work fine. And you don't need alot of code!
