contents Let $K:k$ be a field extension and let $Λ$ be a finite-dimensional $k$-algebra. We investigate the relationship between $Λ$ and $Λ_K = Λ\otimes_k K$ with particular emphasis on various aspects of $τ$-tilting theory and bricks. We show that many types of objects for $Λ$ lift injectively to the same type of object for $Λ_K$, and many common constructions in $τ$-tilting theory commute with the process of extending the base field. One of our main applications is the construction of a faithful functor from the $τ$-cluster morphism category $\mathfrak{W}(Λ)$ of $Λ$ to the $τ$-cluster morphism category $\mathfrak{W}(Λ_K)$ of $Λ_K$. In particular, this establishes a faithful functor from $\mathfrak{W}(Λ)$ to a group whenever $k$ is of characteristic zero which has many important consequences. In the appendix, E. J. Hanson shows the analogous result whenever $k$ is a finite field. Moreover, we give some nontrivial examples to illustrate the behaviour of $τ$-tilting finiteness under base field extension.
