Description | With this spell, the character brings back a dead creature in another body, provided death occurred no more than 1 week before the casting of the spell and the subjects soul is free and willing to return. If the subjects soul is not willing to return, the spell does not work; therefore, subjects who want to return receive no saving throw. Since the dead creature is returning in a new body, all physical ills and afflictions are repaired. The magic of the spell creates an entirely new young adult body for the soul to inhabit from the natural elements at hand. This process requires 1 hour to complete. When the body is ready, the subject is reincarnated. A character reincarnated recalls the majority of his former life and form. He retains his Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as any class abilities or skills he formerly possessed. His class, base attack bonus, base save bonuses, and hit points are unchanged. Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores depend partly on his new body. First eliminate the characters racial adjustments (since he is no longer of his previous race) and then apply the adjustments found below. The characters level is reduced by 1. (If the character was 1st level, his new Constitution score is reduced by 1.) Its quite possible for the change in the characters ability scores to make it difficult for him to pursue his previous character class. If this happens, the character is well advised to become a multiclass character. The new incarnation is determined on the following table or by DM choice. d% Incarnation Str Dex Con -- ----------- --- --- --- 0103 Badger +4 +8 +4 0409 Bear, black +8 +2 +4 1013 Bear, brown +15 +2 +8 1417 Boar +4 0 +6 1825 Centaur +8 +4 +4 2628 Dryad 0 +4 0 2932 Eagle 0 +4 +2 3342 Elf 0 +2 2 4346 Gnome 2 0 +2 4748 Hawk 4 +6 0 4958 Halfling 2 +2 0 5978 Human 0 0 0 7980 Leopard +6 +8 +4 8182 Owl 4 +6 0 8385 Pixie 4 +8 0 8688 Satyr 0 +2 +2 8990 Sprite 4 +6 0 9196 Wolf +2 +4 +4 9799 Wolverine +10 +8 +8 100 Other ? ? ? (DMs choice) Some bodies may make it impossible for the reincarnated character to use some of his class abilities. For example, a caster reincarnated as a hawk cant cast spells with somatic components because he doesnt have hands. The reincarnated character does gain any powers or abilities associated with his new form, including forms of movement and speeds, natural armor, natural attacks, etc. A humanoid reincarnated into an animal body can speak the languages it formerly knew and is a magical beast. A wish spell can restore a reincarnated character to his original form. |
