The party was able to find my corpse after a few hours of searching and decided to have the druid reincarnate me.  The DM ruled that I was to return as a Pixie.  I was crushed because my guy would not be a masive damage machine any more, alas a house rule was only one return from death....I was stuck.  As I began to redo my stats and realized that my STR would only drop by only a few, heck a pixie with a 15 was in my mind beter than the human w/18/00.  I wanted to see how I could still play the guy.  I decided to be a good pixie, a champion of sorts, so I traded in my two-hander for a stilleto dagger of the same enchantment (like +2 or something) and wield it like a two hander.  In the old rules magic armor shrunk or expanded to fit any creature so my elvin chain shirt was fine.  I sought out the pixie royals and joined them as a knight errant.  I got to champion the queen on several occasions and do cool fey stuff.  I loved the character BTW, thus the story.....sorry.   Anyway, that was my only 18 let alone 18/00 and it lasted about four sessions....go figure.</blockquote>
