Twin Druids
I was just thinking...
In a campaign I played a while ago my DM had two druids who called themselves 'The Sisters' who were high level and would kill each other off every few years of adventuring and protecting 'their forest' just to cast reincarnation while the other was down and repeat the process, thus living forever. Would that work?
They were also nuts because of it.
Edit: Yeah, they were random creatures. We were confused why a dark-skinned halfling and a noble-looking elf called each other sisters.Last edited by DarklingPerhaps; 2009-12-26 at 03:15 AM.

Re: Twin Druids
I would think the "nuts because of it" makes it balanced enough to work.
I seem to recall the reincarnation spell bringing you back as something random, though. But that was 1st ed, a dryad casting it, and our DM didn't like that character of mine. So who knows?Some things I do that you might enjoy:

Re: Twin Druids
Actually by raw you can be 9460541603 years old if you die and kept being reincarnated. Take a look at this...
The magic of the spell creates an entirely new young adult body for the soul to inhabit from the natural elements at hand. This process takes 1 hour to complete. When the body is ready, the subject is reincarnated.Last edited by Akisa; 2009-12-26 at 03:32 AM.

Re: Twin Druids
How about this:
Dvati Something 5 / Ur-Priest 1 / Ardent Dilettante 10
Kill the twin, use the Ur-Priest spellcasting to cast Miracle to mimic Reincarnate, then a second Miracle to return her to Dvati form. This way you don't lose a level, don't ever have to worry about losing your spellcasting, and can play both twins at once.

Re: Twin Druids
Or you can simply create reincarnate greater and no longer has level lost.

Re: Twin Druids
It could work, it just depends on how you rule the wording of the spell:
1. It cannot bring you back if you died of old age, but you didn't die of old age so it gives you a new body. You now die of old age based on when the current body would do so.
2. It cannot extend your lifespan beyond the maximum age of your original race, i.e. a human dies and gets reincarnated as an elf but he still uses the human max age. In that case, just say they were Elans originally, which has no maximum age and can never die of old age, and no matter what they get reincarnated as they never have to worry about it.

Re: Twin Druids
The only thing worse than an empty signature is one that has nothing at all to say. One that simply yammers on with little or no point; quietly, subtly draining away seconds of your life.
The worst are the ones that look like they have a point. Multiple paragraph monstrosities that you're sure will have some sort of satisfying conclusion. Some sort of goal, to show that your reading was not in vain.
It doesn't and it was.
