Okay, this brings up a question that's surfaced several times in the local
group: We know that people still occasionally, even frequently, goblinize
into orks and trolls. Are there still transformations from normal to elves
and dwarves? Were there transformation into elves and dwarves to start
with? The historical text in the main SR3 rulebook (and its predecessors)
seem to indicate that there were not any such transformations, but the
population figures tend to indicate that there had to be. This is
consistent with some of the old back-cover text about elves and trolls
assuming their true forms.

I'm just curious how the rest of you view this.
