[QUOTE="blargney the second, post: 2772973, member: 14678"] This is an interesting discussion! I'm co-DMing the campaign with Erywin, and I was running the game on the night this particular character died. Since it was an NPC who cast [i]reincarnate[/i], I actually rolled the percentile die myself. I think my jaw dropped about four inches when it came up 01! The text of [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/reincarnate.htm]reincarnate[/url] says to "eliminate the subject’s racial adjustments" then it "gains all abilities associated with its new form". The way we ended up ruling it is that he lost his human feat (just as well - we found out in that combat that he had an illegal feat anyways) and 10 skill points. He then gained everything from the bugbear except the racial hit die, feats, and skill points. I'm kind of torn on the issue. His character is now two levels behind the two highest-level PCs, and the cohort of one of those two currently has more experience than this poor dude! I guess ultimately I want to make sure he's happy playing his character. I think screw the LA - he's twenty thousand xp behind everybody else already, why penalize him more? Maybe I'm not so torn about it after all. :) -blarg [/QUOTE]
