Simulacrum
First Post
Ok maybe some people who have read all FAQ's that exist and Dragon Magazines can help me out ;-)
What is possible and what not:
1. Magic Jar someone, possess his body, then killing your own body (wich does not end the spell, as it is dead after the description anyway) and cast create greater undead at it and return into your body after that?
Your body is not destroyed and you are not *dead* (rather undead) and its not mentioned that a body must be *alive* or??
Scenario 2:
Magic Jar someone possess his body,while you are underway some heroes destroy your (real) body and hack it into pieces (but dont burn it).
You come back and you must do the following to return to the body:
1.Cast a spell that brings you back from the dead (even tho this is stupid because *you* are alive and proobably casting the spell yourself *lol*)?
2.Cast any cure spell and reattach the body parts and bring the body back into *good shape* with 0 or more hitpoints?
Scenario 3:
As Scenario 2 but your body is completely destroyed beyond your possibilities of restoring it (disintigrated, burned completely)
Can you cast Magic Jar again (destroying the old Jar thus killing the owner of the body you are in) and possess another creature (and the body you are in becomes *your* body for the purpose of the spell) keeping you alive but forcing you to repeat the cycle again and again?
OR does it mean you can permanently possess the former body by just switching back and forth from Jar to body from time to time?
Can this be made permanent?
Please no house rules, just official word on this matter!
btw: can you magic Jar a Pit Fiend? Demon / Devil? A Lich?
