[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7980586, member: 15882"] The spell gives a new body for your soul to inhabit. It doesn't impart new memories. You're still the same person you were before. It's pretty specifically stated in the spell description how it works. In the old games, you also lost a level when you died. If you came back as a badger, that'd probably be considered character death unless you wanted to lose another level to try reincarnation again. Not to mention the cost of the spell. For 5e, I've never seen it in play but, unless the DM hands out lots of gold and decides that '[I][B]rare [/B]oils and ungeants[/I]' aren't actually rare, but common, I don't see how you could cast this spell over and over. A permissive DM could find him or herself in a game where players are castig it multiple times to get the race they want. In which case, why not just let them choose? If I were to run a game, I'd probably allow you to find enough components for one reincarnate but you'd definitely have to adventure to find more. Maybe the ungeant is made from a pheonix's feather or something. [/QUOTE]
