[QUOTE="Perun, post: 7984023, member: 6037"] I've modified the [I]reincarnate [/I]spell, partly based in part on input from another thread [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/old-school-no-revivify-or-raise-dead-for-elves.671922/']here[/URL]. I've switched the spell back to Necromancy (transmutation makes no sense, really) and added it to Wizard's spell list, reduced the material component cost of the spell, added At Higher Levels clause(s), and modified the tables (assigning percentages to races is a... pain). So, thoughts? :) [B]Reincarnate[/B] [I]5th-level necromancy (druid, wizard)[/I] [B]Casting Time:[/B] 1 hour [B]Range:[/B] Touch [B]Components:[/B] V, S, M (rare oils and unguents worth at least 500 gp, which the spell consumes) [B]Duration:[/B] Instantaneous You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid. Provided that the creature has been dead no longer than 10 days, the spell forms a new adult body for it and then calls the soul to enter that body. If the target’s soul isn’t free or willing to do so, the spell fails. The magic fashions a new body for the creature to inhabit, which likely causes the creature’s race to change. The DM rolls a d100 and consults one the following tables, depending on the spellcaster’s character class to determine what form the creature takes when restored to life, or the DM chooses a form. The reincarnated creature recalls its former life and experiences. Upon returning, the creature has two options: i) It retains the capabilities it had in its original form, except it exchanges its original race for the new one (if applicable) and changes its racial traits accordingly; or ii) It returns as a completely new character of the same level (determine ability scores, class, and other features as for a new character). If a creature returns as a beast or plant (in the druid version of the spell), use the statistics provided in the MM, but determine Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma normally (either by rolling, or by using point buy method with 13 points available). The creature is now considered awakened beast or plant. Replace hit points, skill and saving throw proficiencies with those granted by the class(es). At the DM's option, the beast or plant form could be considered an enchantment/curse that can be broken by a quest or some other method. [B][I]At Higher Levels:[/I] [/B]When you cast this spell at 7th level or higher, the length of time the creature can be dead for the spell to work increases to 100 years (material component requirement increases to 1,000 gp), or 200 years when cast at 9th level (with material component of 20,000 gp).
