You touch a dead Humanoid or a piece of one. If the creature has been dead no longer than 10 days, the spell forms a new body for it and calls the soul to enter that body. Roll 1d10 and consult the table below to determine the body’s species, or the DM chooses another playable species.
1d10 | Species |
---|---|
1 | Aasimar |
2 | Dragonborn |
3 | Dwarf |
4 | Elf |
5 | Gnome |
6 | Goliath |
7 | Halfling |
8 | Human |
9 | Orc |
10 | Tiefling |
The reincarnated creature makes any choices that a species’ description offers, and the creature recalls its former life. It retains the capabilities it had in its original form, except it loses the traits of its previous species and gains the traits of its new one.
* - (rare oils worth 1,000+ GP, which the spell consumes)
Ok I like this version of reincarnate better than the old one, since there is a more equal chance of being reincarnated as one thing rather than another, whereas the old one some species were more commonly reincarnated than others.
How many hit points is this new body supposed to have? One? Half? All of them? This spell is on the Wild Magic table so when your Sorcerer dies with this defense banked, is it too powerful for them to come back with all their hit points?
wait, THEY REMOVED THE CLAUSE THAT YOU CAN ONLY REVIVE WILLING CREATURES this can be so ****ed up
Since the spell does not specify and just says that a new body is formed, I would assume they come back with all of their it points. That said, I think it would not be illogical to rule that the creature comes back with 1 hit points as every other resurrection spell (except true resurrection) specifies that the target comes back to life with 1 hit point.
They don't have to. Take a look at the new Dead condition.
The Druid, as the master of nature, chooses when you live and die.
Beware villains, do not anger the Druid, for they will return you to life a thousand times, just to inflict their thorned vines on your flesh another thousand times.
I love how goofy that is.
You can't be unwillingly revived, look at the Dead condition in the PHB rules glossary.
The change from transmutation to Necromancy makes sense, but it was funny when it wasn't necromancy.
What happens if an old elf character gets turned into a species that does live as long as them.
like a 400 elf gets turned into a human, are they of peak condition for the human or do they turn into an old old person
