[QUOTE="Zerovoid, post: 127720, member: 283"] I agree with others who say that your new Con does affect you hit points. They just mean not to reroll them. Otherwise, what would happen if that character had Endurance cast on them after being reincarnated? Would nothing happen, since their Con doesn't matter. I think the reason that most Shaper's don't do this, is that they DON'T WANT TO DIE!!! What if when they die and end up in the afterlife, they find they don't have the will to return. What if they don't want to slit their throat with their own sword just to have the wonderful opportunity of being a wolf? Metagaming players might think this is a good idea, but characters won't. I don't think this problem is unique to the shifter. What if my human wizard doesn't like his Str, Dex, and Con of 3? He can easily use Polymporph Other to turn into an average elf with Str 10, Dex 12, and Con 8. Thats a pretty good option for him. In fact, for any sort of character based off of mental stats, reincarnation could be the best thing that ever happened to them. Get the Con boost, polymorph into your normal form, and then cast all the spells you want. Who cares if your attacks and skill checks are at -2. [/QUOTE]
