[QUOTE="Scharlata, post: 1971737, member: 4806"] Good morning t'all philosophers out there in the multiverse! ;) Yesterday my character was kindly [I]true resurrected[/I] by a high-priest/king of sorts. The royal resurrector cast [COLOR=YellowGreen][I]true resurrection[/I] in front of the dead [B]halfling[/B] body[/COLOR] of my recently [COLOR=DarkOrange][I]reincarnated[/I] [B]human[/B][/COLOR] mystic theurge. We dedided to ask for the sagacity of all learned EN-worlders first before we decide what really happened, because after re-reading the [I]reincarnation[/I] and [I]resurrection[/I] spells some academic question arose. The spell [I]reincarnation[/I] (PHB, p. 270) says: "Since the dead creature is returning in a new body [...]." and "The magic of the spell creates an entirely new young adult body for the soul to inhabit [...]. The spell [I]true resurrection[/I] (PHB, p. 296) says: "This spell can even bring back creatures whose bodies have been destroyed, provided that you unambiguously identify the deceased in some fashion (reciting the deceased's time and place of birth or death [...]." What happens when you true resurrect a reincarnated body? [COLOR=DarkOrange]1.) [/COLOR]The dead body of a reincarnated character is the body in which the true resurrected character comes back from the dead. [COLOR=YellowGreen]2.) [/COLOR]The recently slain body is irrelevant. The character comes back from the dead in his original body, no matter how many times he was reincarnated/raised etc. [COLOR=DarkOrange]3.)[/COLOR] The character or the resurrector may select to which body the character comes back from the dead, as he/she sees fit. [COLOR=YellowGreen]4.)[/COLOR] The resurrector decides which body will be the receptable for the soul he tries to bring back from the dead. If he uses the body at hand (reincarnated form) that character comes back to that body. If no body is at hand (destroyed beforehand or simply not available) the true resurection forms the original body for the soul to return from the dead. I'd like to know what your wise rule/opinion/answer may be. Kind regards [/QUOTE]
