Wow you can become a warforged! You wake up as a robot!

I usually say you don't loose of gain any languages from reincarnate cause you are just gaining a new physical body not the memories associated with it.

I know this is bit of an older post but if someone were to be a Dhampir, would this spell work on changing you back to what you was?

Yes there's a chance you could become something else but you won't be a half vampire thing anymore at least.

I read where this spell and the wish spell are the only two ways to reverse it I could be wrong however.

Also Can you be brought back if you die like normal with Revivify, raise dead, ect ect.

Every Warforged Pinocchio parody’s goal.

A good spell for DM’s to give to NPC Druidic Healers. So as to mess with players.

Sad it’s only humanoids, maybe get around that pre-req with Wish?

OK, so I am new to DnD, and I was wondering, what is the difference between a DM and a GM?

"OK, so I am new to DnD, and I was wondering, what is the difference between a DM and a GM?"

Nothing, DM just means "Dungeon Master" which is synonymous with D&D.  GM means "Game Master" which is more generic and works for all systems.  I also believe Dungeon Master may be trademarked by WotC, so GM is just a way easier term to use for some people. 

OK, thank you so much! That got me a bit confused. 

Doesn't that depend on how you interpret it? Where does it say you get younger? It just says a new adult body. Maybe if you were an 80 year old human and you become an 80 year old elf, then you would now have a much longer potential life span.

Interestingly, the way this is worded, if you used this on a baby or other minor, it would come back as an adult. That could have weird implications for its mental development.

I was just reincarnated from a 275 year old dwarf to an "adult" gnome.  Dwarfs and gnomes lifespans are around the same (4-5 hundred years).  I'm still waiting for my GM to tell me how old I am.  The crew threw a "Happy New Body Day" celebration for me.  Am I counting up from here?

I have to agree with previous posts... This is a weird and fun-filled spell.

Equally strange to suddenly speak a new one

This spell can really turn party dynamics in an interesting way. I recently was playing a hobgoblin tempest cleric(15)/wild magic sorcerer(2) and was locked in a one v one death match for an artifact with its previous owners spirit (everyone in the party had one) and after rolling extremely badly throughout was killed out right. But I’d previously cast a sorcerer and was under an unknown (at the time) effect which turned out to be the reincarnate spell and was back up as a sea elf. And my character didn’t like elves..

was so funny at the table. 

Why is the spell only level 5? Raise Dead is at the same level, but Raise Dead can't revive you if, for example, your head is severed from your body. Raise Dead also has the disadvantage that you have -4 on attack rolls, saving throws and ability checks. Reincarnate costs twice as much gp, but gives you a completely new young body and the only disadvantage is that the race changes? Even the level 7 spell Resurrection, which can regrow a head, has more drawbacks. It has the -4 on attack rolls, saving throws and ability checks and as a spell caster you can no longer cast spells and have disadvantages on all attack rolls, ability checks and saving throws. Resurrection has the same cost of 1,000 gp.
Given that reincarnates only disadvantage is "only" that the race changes, it should be at least a level 7 spell. Whether Reincarnate costs twice as much as Raise Dead doesn't really count as a "disadvantage" at this level, it probably doesn't make much difference. The fact that Reincarante only affects humanoids is not really a disadvantage either
