Okay, so I died again, along with another character. And this time, since we were out in the wilderness without a friendly cleric of high enough level to do an actual raise, my party decided to let the 9th level Druid reincarnate the two of us. My companion was lucky--he reincarnated as another human. Me, though--I'm a black bear now.
Now, the way I understand reincarnate, the soul's back in the body, but there's some noise in that memories are not necessarily all there and then you've got the new bodies natural tendancies. The DM and I have been trying to get our heads around all this, but I still have some questions.
1) I'm a multi-class character (started as a Ranger, took a couple of levels of Rogue, then was in the right place at the right time to actually meet a slice of my diety which meant that I really could't do anything but become a cleric). I had just become 9th level (3 Rgr/3 Rog/3 Clr). Dying meant I lost a level, which I assume means I lose the last class I took (Rogue level 3). Too bad, because it would be more useful than that 3rd level of Ranger. So, question one, I don't get to choose the class I lose, right?
2) Okay, so I've got a lot of feats that don't work so well now that I'm a bear. Bear's can't use bows, I'm assuming. Bear's can't hold weapons. But bears do have high dexterity (and mine's at 20, given the way reincarnate works), so I'm assuming that I can still do certain Rogue things like picking locks (using a claw?). What do you think?
I'll probably drop additional questions as they arrive....
