Reincarnate = immortality?

[Nifft]

Then there's the ancient druid, sworn to protect the sacred grove, who has been reincarnated many times over a thousand years to stay at his post, waiting for the replacement mentioned in a prophecy to come along.

The way I read the spell, you'd need two ancient Druids.

Immortality yes, but only until someone cares to eliminate the dead body.

Or one ancient druid, and a series of young apprentices.

Mr. Druid will need to adventure periodically to keep his levels up, too.

Dunno if I'd trust them, considering I apparently don't intend to return the favor.

They don't know that!

And it usually works for a while, before someone figures it out. Just ask Fistandantilus.

It's like the Futurama thing: They need Fry to save the universe in the future, but he won't live that long, so they freeze him.

In the druid's case, his order keeps stabbing him and bringing him back in new and amusing guises.

The bad thing would be the role to see what you come back as. Fear me, I am the immortal hamster.

You'll like the 3.5e version.

Naw use the expanded 3e version, all sorts of oddities to throw at a PC there.
