[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7949915, member: 6669384"] There's a variant on the Reincarnation approach. I don't recall the source book off hand, and the spell has to be cast within a round of death, but it Reincarnates the target without the level loss. Now Reincarnate says that you can regain your original form via a Wish or Miracle, but that woukd probably make you old and decrepit again. Better to use a Wish or Limited Wish (DM's discretion) cast in advance to help influence what you come back as. Regarding Polymorph spells: 3.5 got rid of Polymorph Other in favor of Baleful Polymorph, which turns the target into a small animal, devoid of spell casting ability. When that solution was available, it wasn't much of a solution. Changing your form to one that was physically younger didn't change the date of death from age. You look and feel younger, but your "real" age is stamped on your soul, and you can't hide from it. [/QUOTE]
