Default Unkillable with Reincarnation

It seems to be implied in the Reincarnation enhancement that the new body is just as capable as the old one. Would it be worth anymore points if the character is reincarnated as a fetus and has be born and grow back into an adult at the normal rate for his species?

Well it would depend on the campaign timeline.
If its a generation game, probably not so much but if its regular time then your out of the game for the foreseeable future so thats worth a lot.

GURPS doesn't really price things that way generally. Otherwise assume that it will be useful in the timeframe of the campaign but utterly inconvenient in the timeframe of any one adventure.

Sure it does.
How often something comes up or is available is pretty much the hallmark of accessibility. Reincarnation usually takes you out of the adventure or that session. Did you buy regeneration and such?
If not then I would say that's the special effect.

Sounds more like reawakened and racial memory. The fact that your next character also has these advantages is a special effect.

Ooh, I feel special being able to help one of the forum veterans. (I mean that without any sarcasm at all. A very rare post for me, I know... darn it. I was so close too.)

Dude, I predate you by not quite two months (08-18-2004 vs. 10-16-2004) you are as "veteran" as I am.
