Reincarnate

By touching the body of a deceased humanoid (as defined in charm person), the caster brings them back in an entirely new body. The whole body is not needed; in fact, even the smallest fragment of body is sufficient, so long as that fragment was part of the body at the time of the target's death. The caster can only reincarnate a being that has not been dead for more than a week. The spirit of the target of this spell must be willing to return. If the target's spirit is trapped or contained in any way, the spell will fail. Roll on the following table to determine the new form of the target creature: d% New Form Bugbear 02-15 Dwarf 16-29 Elf Gnoll 31-39 Gnome 40-46 Goblin 47-60 Halfling 61-88 Human 89-91 Kobold 92-93 Lizard Man 94-98 Orc 99-00 Choice* If "choice" is rolled for a player character being reincarnated, the player is allowed to choose the new form from among those on the table above. If an NPC is being reincarnated, the GM may choose or roll again. When the spell is cast, a new body forms in a nearby location selected by the caster. The body forms over a period of 6 turns (i.e. an hour), first as a misty outline, then becoming more solid moment by moment until it takes its first breath and awakens. The new form is a young adult, unless the target was younger than that when they died, in which case the new body is the same age as the deceased body. The target creature's new body has obviously suffered none of the harm that may have befallen the old one, and is completely healthy (at least, to start with). The target remembers their previous life, and retains the same class (if possible for the new form) as well as its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores should be rerolled. (If the character's ability scores are outside the allowable range for the new form, they should be adjusted up or down by the GM as needed.) The target loses one level (or hit die); this is a real reduction, not a negative level, and is not subject to magical restoration. The target's hit points should be rerolled completely, as this is an entirely new body. If the target was 1st level, instead of a hit point reduction its new Constitution score is reduced by 2. Characters turned into non-character humanoids (such as an elf who returns as a kobold) will require adjudication by the GM; if the restored target is a player character, the GM is counseled to give as much leeway to the player as possible with the character's new form. Conversely, non-character humanoids who return as characters will need all ability scores rolled; such characters will usually be fighters with a level equal to the target's previous hit dice minus 1, or as Normal Men if the target's previous hit dice were 1 or less. Undead creatures are not affected by this spell; such creatures can no longer be returned to life in any normal sense.
