Reincarnated as a Centaur - Doing it by the Book?

[mikebr99]

I agree with artoomis on this one, it makes more sense to apply base hitpoints with no con mod, and then add in the new con. This would make it a lot easier to drop the level, and then apply the new stats.

I still think by the book rules you don't add ECL or anything of the kind. The one thing I would require is some new help with training. A fighter that has been swinging a sword all his life and is now a wolverine now has to learn how to be a better wolveriene in combat. That's not something his fighter training has prepared him for. I would say the fighter would have to find a special trainer (or perhaps a good animal handler) to be able to learn to fight as a wolveriene better. Once he's done that, he can progress just like before, but until then, he can't gain a level no matter how hard he tries.

That could open up some great roleplaying elements, especially if the new wolveriene became the companion of a ranger or something to help him to train

Could you get the druid who reincarnated you to train you in the use of those big teeth?
