There has been some mentioning of Reincarnation throughout the whole death thing with Roy.

This thread is basically to think about what funny events might occur if Roy is reincarnated.

I think Roy'd make a great Dwarf :smallbiggrin:

It's a choice.
Theres also DM's discretion.

ooh or kobold. then Belkar'd go after him. Gnome? Perhaps troglodyte?

Talk about Cosmic Irony, how many has he killed?

Quite a few. It'd be funnier if it was hobgoblin, but that isn't on the list.

Still...

Haley and Elan's son.

And he retains a lot from his last life.

:roy: as :elan: and :haley: son would be one of the funniest things ever :biggrin: but also one of the worst things for Roy, iŽd say, let him rest in peace :wink:

A player in one of my games did that. Started off as an elven favoured soul, slaughtered his way through a dungeon of goblins & then got killed and reincarnated as one. He was not best pleased.

Later he died again and he was reincarnated as a half-orc, then later as a half-elf. He then retired from adventuring, having lost several hundred years from his life expectancy.

Does he come back as the same gender? If not, that has some potential for humor. Imagine Roy as a woman, permanently- he'd be pissed.

Then he'd be glad that Durkon saved the gender change belt, eh? :smallbiggrin:

BRILLIANT!!!!!

Seriously, though.......reincarnation? Is that really allowed?

Plus, gotta wait......... he might not even be dead yet.

EDIT: LOL, I said "yet". XD

Considering he had already died several times, wouldn't you say that Life Expectancy was already out the window?

I really don't think he's going to be reincarnated. Here's why: in No Cure for the Paladin Blues, Rich stated that one character would have a permanent change in his or her appearance. ONE character. This was before Elan multiclassed to Dashing Swordsman and got a new outfit. I find it unlikely that Rich would change his mind about something like that.

Phooey....
(well he could Re-incarnate as a human...)

Well, don't let me ruin your day. It's still possible, and I kind of like the idea, but I don't think Roy is going to have any permanent changes here.

The main problem with Reincarnation is that it's only a Druid spell, so the OotS would need to find a Druid of at least 7th level. At this point it would be easier to gather the diamonds needed for Raise Dead/Resurrect then to find a Druid friendlier than ol' Leeky Windstaff....

(The Druid I'm running in a PbE campaign is almost 7th level. I'm already planning on getting "living wills" from all party members on whether they wish to be reincarnated if they die. I don't want to have to decide 'Well, would they want to be reincarnated' after they're dead, especially since no one has Speak With Dead....)

The only druid the giant has used, was leeky. All the other classes featured where "cool" but leaky was just plain stupid. I think the giant will have them hunt for a legendary druid that can choose what they reincarnate as. And on the way they will take a detour, and end up in Tyrrania, where the origin of Nale's dad will be revieled, via (haley) "Here's 10000000gp give me back my father!" LG swings in (by sabine) "Get the skank's gold!" and finally (by evil king) "Nale I haven't seen you forever" and "hey dad" and then, (by Haley) "If roy where here..." then roy pops up as a ghost and says hes been following them and then thta he likes being a ghost, since now he can't be injured, and can scare the piss out of belkar with fear effects, then elan says "Daddy save me from the ghost!"

There's the reincarnate spell, which causes you to instantaneously reappear in a new body, but given that the only Druid we've seen so far is 1) a bad guy, 2) hates the Order of the Stick, and 3) is currently hundreds of miles away in Cliffport training Pompey to be his cohort, I don't think it's likely.

There's also, presumably, regular-style reincarnation that happens the long way, but whether that exists depends on the campaign setting and your DM.

What can I say, I'm an optimist.

Back on track... Leeky's last appearance left hint of a return. Could they try to resurrect Roy? Stay tuned to find out!
