I would instead be looking at Gaseous Form as a model of how the character interacts wit the rest of the world. That form has strengths and liabilities, and would be a much more substantial (heh) RP challenge/opportunity for the player. 2. I would say the equipment is gone. That, too, is an opportunity. As the player learns to live in the new form, it will discover what it needs and can use. You as DM can provide that with low barriers, but let there be some cost to having been burned in lava.3. As a caster, Gaseous Form normally can't cast. You could adjust, and say it wouldn't be able to cast Touch spells, and possibly concentration would be needed for any non-instant spells... at least to start.4. As for stuff you're missing... The first thing that came to my head is you have a REAL REASON for someone to have Reincarnation cast. I love this spell, and I haven't seen it in play since 5e came out. Raise Dead is always simply better... except here. If there's a follicle of hair on someone else's clothing, or a nail clipping from campfire the night before, the character can eventually be reincarnated. I like the idea of a random body, but I am not wild about the flavor of the table as given (PHB species only). If corporeality is desired eventually, that's the way to go: first, keep the hair/clippings. Have someone cast Gentle Repose on it every 9 days. That gives time to explore spritual form. If the character does choose to Reincarnate, player can choose to roll on the table as given, or may propose 3 or 4 species from PHB or MOTM (and anything else you want to add), including the possiblity of staying the same as they were. If you wish, you could add one further possiblity into the mix (the species of the caster for example... I think a Lizardfolk Druid should have a chance at always producing a Lizardfolk in reincarnation), and the player rolls on that more limited table. Player can choose character sex once they see the result. Whatever you choose... enjoy!</blockquote>
