Geez Jeff, you don't do this during your PnP games do you?  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> Heres an example of how the spell works, and note, there are no rules in this post. I friken hate arguing about rules.A Grey elf gets reincantated.Now, that Grey elf really only exists on paper, but gamewise and in your imagination, he probably lived a long life. At first, he was just a baby (weren't we all). then he grew up. At some point, geneticly, he inherited his races characteristics. By comparison to Humans, he's a bit frailer (-2 Con), but a wee bit brighter (+2 Int). Now he does whatever it is he does until he gets reincarnated. He lives out that whole period with those characteristics shaping who and what he is. REINCARNATION!!! Boom. He is now, well, a bear.GAAAH!! IMA BEAR! HELP!Ok. Sorry about that. Now, onward.He isn't really a bear, he's just driving a bear's body around. Inside, he's the same person he always was. He can't speak elven anymore, but it's not because he got dumbed down, it's because bear vocal chords dont work that way. But it gets worse, cause he cant speak bear either and will have to learn from scratch. Other bears will probably think he's a retard and will avoid him. Ill feel sorry for this guy during mating season. Anyway, driving this bear around, hes alot stronger (Str), faster (Dex), and healthier (Con) than he ever was in his original body, but on the inside (mental stats), he's the same person he always was, and the Int boost is a part of that, remember? Now if he can only find himself a Druid or a Ranger that speaks elven, and theres a potential for being the most badass companion ever. Forget tricks. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I appologize for turning this into a fairy tale, but i felt a simpler answer was due. The concept of reincarnation seems awfully simple to me, and not truely worthy of such an epic argument.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> WarShrikeP.S. Good points on both sides guys, but please, dont dont think you know more of what the devs had in mind then the devs themselves did.</blockquote>
