4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons

This is a ritual description page for 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons.

Reincarnate

You give the target a new chance at life, a chance to live again in a new shape.

Level: 23	Component Cost: 60,000 gp
Category: Binding	Market Price: 60,000 gp
Time: 1 hour	Key Skill: Nature (no check)
Duration: Instantaneous

Select a living, undead, or dead creature that is either helpless or willing. The target is restored to life, health, and youth, but in a different form.

Re-create the target as a brand new character of his level. Re-select all abilities, gender, race, class, powers, skills, and feats. It is as if you were creating a new character from scratch, only memories and experience points remain. Even if you select to make the character identical to how it was before, the body is still completely new and physical details differ. Old friends, acquaintances, and enemies will not recognize the target until shared experiences show who it is. For all practical purposes, the target is now a new person.

To perform this on a dead creature, you must have a part of the corpse of a creature that died no more than 30 days ago. The subject returns to life at full health and with all harmful conditions removed. The subject’s soul must be free and willing to return to life. Some magical effects trap the soul and thus prevent Reincarnate from working, and the gods can intervene to prevent a soul from journeying back to the realm of the living.
