[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1973488, member: 478"] Where does it say that? The soul is now in a new body, but why should there be no connection left to the old one? You still recall your old form. You even keep some of your old racial abilities after reincarnation, so there certainly must be some sort of connection left, since you still [i]are[/i] partially of your old race. An elf reincarnated as a human is exactly that, an elf reincarnated as a human, not a human. As I see it, Wish and Miracle can restore the creature to the original body [i]without[/i] killing it first. Also True Resurrection is more powerful than Wish and Miracle combined, when it comes to restoring the dead to life. And Reincarnation [i]is[/i] a lesser spell compared to True Resurrection, anyways (by far even). The original body is still the original body, no amount of Reincarnation can change this. However, the rules do not state, whether you can resurrect someone with his or her original body or only with the last occupied body. So only opinions can be gathered here, anyways. That's just an opinion like any other. The rules don't say anything at all about what happens, if you kill someone who has been reincarnated and then restore that someone to life with True Resurrection. So, the correct answer by the rules is... its unclear (by your own saying), but that is not what has been asked for (see above). He asked for opinions (obviously knowing already, that there is no clear and unambiguous rules answer). My personal opinion is, that True Resurrection reverts the process, since a feeble spell like Reincarnate cannot influence the power of a 9th level spell like that. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
