[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8022910, member: 29398"] [I]Charm Person[/I] has a pretty broad range of creatures it can hit in any edition, some of whose relationship to Humans is little more than having the same number of legs arms and heads. And RAW be damned, I have it that absolutely any non-Outsider creature can be reincarnated provided someone's willing to cast the spell on it, with a pretty wide range of creatures it could come back as (though no matter how many possibilities there are they still roll 'Hobbit' every damn time!) :) I once had a player whose PC's pet dog died while adventuring*; she spent ages trying to get this bloody dog revived and eventually found a Chaos temple willing to reincarnate it just for kicks (and a whopping fee!). Result: the dog came back as a centaur, who she ran as a second PC and who went on to a half-decent adventuring career. * - why this poor dog - who wasn't a familiar or animal companion or anything so useful, just a pet - was in the field with her in the first place is a very good question, to which I've no answer at all. Side question: does 5e not also have Normal Animals as a category; or are cows, pet dogs, rabbits, robins etc. classed as Monstrosities? (they sure ain't Humanoid but calling them monsters is kinda weird) [/QUOTE]
