My 5e long term campaigns have been converted Pathfinder 1e adventure paths and always started at level 1 and used milestone leveling to match the 3e adventure advancement pacing. So also longer at level 1 than 5e standards. I have run 5e one shots that were either level 1 or higher level...

Was there a reincarnate in 4e? I would assume it would be a ritual if it is there but I don't see one in Player's Handbook 2 which has the druid.

Depends on the edition. :) 3.0 and 3.5 you specifically come back as a young adult of your new species. 3.0 Reincarnate Transmutation Level: Drd 4 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch Target: Dead creature touched Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None (see text)...

Which is cosmologically weird to have alongside 2e afterlife things like evil souls turning into larva in MC8, and and the Blood War fiends wanting mortal souls to turn into fiends for their armies in Planescape, along with the whole afterlife petitioner setup of Planescape. It is possible to...

SJR5: Rock of Bral (2e) 2e Undead: ?

In general in late 3.5 going for strong character efficiency after a couple of levels it is hard to beat a straight PHB druid, wizard, or cleric. Multiclassing and prestige classes almost always mean giving up at least one caster level, which as an opportunity cost knocks out top level spells...

I had missed that. :) What kind of animal and how exactly and to what extent you bias the roll towards an animal result are left to be determined.

A lot of D&D cosmologically has you be born, live, die, then go to an afterlife. Sometimes you are turned into an outsider in the afterlife. Then boom, instant adult reincarnation spell. Are you taking over an existing body with your soul? Are you creating a new random body on the spot? And it...

2e Legends & Lore Optional Rule: Dharma, Karma, and Reincarnation Indian society is founded upon the concepts of dharma, karma, and reincarnation. If you wish to incorporate these concepts into your campaign, you may want to use the following optional rules. A PC's dharma is a combination of...

Reincarnate is just weird. Come back to life but with a random different body. Remake your character but it is sort of still them at heart. Cosmologically weird and kind of has some social ramifications (really, I'm the dead king back, just in a new different species body, trust me). It...

How many things affect initiative? Dex gives a modifier, surprise gives advantage, the alert origin feat gives another bonus and allows swapping. Anything else?

Playing Dungeon Crawl Classics, our third time playing this new to us system for all of us except the DM. We are in a fight and my friend A playing a low hp warrior with a bow wants to back up from the melee and shoot from a safe distance. A "How does disengage work in this system?" G "You...

You give the ring back

SJR1 Lost Ships (2e) 2e Death Tyrant: Death tyrants occur spontaneously in very rare instances. In most cases, they are created through the magic of evil beings—from human mages to illithid villains. Some outcast, magic-using beholders have even been known to create death tyrants from their...

There was also the Dungeon Crawl Classics Lankhmar line and the still available Savage Worlds Lankhmar sourcebook and product line.

I prefer it in very limited doses, signet rings for nobles to identify their messages, invitations for a specific party, letters of marque, and such. A general “papers please” default is a more oppressive and autocratic dystopic feel for me that I don’t generally want in my more freewheeling...
