Quick Question: Unkillable with reincarnation questions...
What would be the limitation for only being able to come back as your race?
What would the limitation be for losing character points with each reincarnation? What would be the limitation if you reincarnated as a demon if you were evil? Essentially canceling out the advantage. As in, you lose your character because he/she is now a demon. Thanks.

Re: Quick Question: Unkillable with reincarnation questions...
1. Unless you're a dying race, it's more just a feature than a limitation.
2. You're supposed to make an entirely new character anyway (you always keep the Unkillable, though), unless you have Reawakened. 3. Since the RAW says you always retain the advantage, it just means you're a demon until somebody manages to kill you. |

Re: Quick Question: Unkillable with reincarnation questions...
You do come back, as a hostile entity! That's definitely no-bueno. The reason Covenant of Rest is worth points is that you can't be brought back to attack your friends (or your new character). This thing basically guarantees that the demon will do so (armed with all kinds of knowledge about the surviving PCs too!). Definitely not an advantage, even a perk.

Re: Quick Question: Unkillable with reincarnation questions...
I'd suggest Divine Curse or bad Destiny then. Or just campaign feature unless it's very common in campaign to have characters dying and returning as demon adversaries.
Or Pact limitation on Unkillable if you need point cost.

Re: Quick Question: Unkillable with reincarnation questions...
Only being your own race sounds like a feature; less confusion, but less options.
I would instead buy Extra Lives with Reincarnation on them, unless the ability only costs 1 pt. That last one, I'm going to go the complicated route. You can exchange Unkillable for the ghost-type templates by RAW. So, we make it so this is automatic if you are evil, then come up with what the demon template is. That is maybe a quirk or nuisance effect, I'm not sure. Unless you lose the character (PC becoming NPC) onto which it would be a bad Destiny (level based on how big the demon is; -5 for you turning into the new party Enemy, -15 for becoming the new Big Bad). |

Re: Quick Question: Unkillable with reincarnation questions...
That's beautiful and perfect. I gotta find a way to use that in my next game.
