[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 1520165, member: 9298"] Not having dealt with this before, heres my question. Raise Dead says that the subject loses one level as if they had lost a level to an energy draining creature. This means you lose the HD, BAB, save progression, feats, skills, attribue gain, class abilities etc. Reincarnate says that the subject retains all their mental ability scores, [i] class abilties, feats, skill ranks, AND HIT POINTS. [/i] It says to remove any racial modifiers to the physical ability scores, then apply the new racial modifiers to the physical ability scores. The next line in the spell description states that the subject's level (or HD) is reduced by 1. So, I'm befuddled. Does the subject lose a level and everything that goes with it or do they just lose a HD for determing effects based on HD? It seems odd to specifically state you keep all your abilities, feats, skill ranks and hit points, but then say you lose a level. Also, reincarnate gives the subject the new racial mods to physical abilties and any new or altered movement speeds, natural armor, natural attacks, extraordinary abilities, etc. Does this also include all the racial bonuses to skills? I would assume so, but again, it seems strange that these weren't listed specifically. [/QUOTE]
