[QUOTE="carborundum, post: 3918517, member: 49284"] My Duskblade bit the dust fighting a blue dragon near the end of Red Hand of Doom. Luckily there was a handy druid in the area (he'd teamed up with Warklegnaw and was running guerilla actions in the neighbourhood). I got reincarnated - as a half treant! (Should this go in House Rules?) Fair enough - better than goblin or *ugh* dwarf - I ended up with a pile of hitpoints, reach, natural armour and plenty of strength. Also 10' tall and covered in branches - his ladyfriend back in the city will be disappointed, and our plans for 'later' are ruined. In any case, together with the DM we settled on a +3 level adjustment for everything so my 10th level Duskblade is now ECL 13. The confusion concerns what to do next. Should my advancement slow or simply stop until I 'catch up' with where my xp should be for a level 13 character? There is also the option for level buybacks à la Unearthed Arcana, but that should have really started at level 9 so it'll be tricky to figure out too. I'd like to get Duskblade 11 before the end of the campaign - just to throw three Scorching Rays once in my career. It's looking unlikely. Can someone explain how we should work out the retrospective change of level adjustment and all the ramifications? [/QUOTE]
