Message: <blockquote data-quote="Van Dyksun" data-source="post: 389762" data-attributes="member: 1761">Working on the implicationsLet's look at the wording of the Reincarnate spell from the SRD again:Thsi is fairly straightforward.  The new body is entirely new and nothing of it is from the old except for the soul inhabiting it.The character "recalls the majority of his former life and form" clearly means that there are some things from the past life and form that are not recalled.  Is this like amnesia?  Or is this like someone who has undergone weird psychotherapy to "recall past lives."We're roleplaying it like the second one, where the new being is like an entirely new character, with a new name, who has this strange ability to recall things that the old character knew.  But the personality is different.The problem I see with the polymorph other spell is (also from the SRD):That implies to me that you can't polymoroph into a specific person/being, but just an average one.An average human sucks. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I thought about having the wizard polymorph me into a centaur (where even an average one wouldn't be so bad), but there's this bit from the spell description:I get into a lot of stressful situations.  If the -2 wasn't too bad....Hey, maybe I should have the wizard polymorph me into a brown bear?  Then I would be even more of a tank and the disorientation wouldn't be so bad.</blockquote>
