Reincarnate
You touch a dead Humanoid or a piece of one. If the creature has been dead no longer than 10 days, the spell forms a new body for it and calls the soul to enter that body. Roll 1d10 and consult the table below to determine the body’s species, or the DM chooses another playable species.
| 1d10 | Species |
|---|---|
| 1 | Aasimar |
| 2 | Dragonborn |
| 3 | Dwarf |
| 4 | Elf |
| 5 | Gnome |
| 6 | Goliath |
| 7 | Halfling |
| 8 | Human |
| 9 | Orc |
| 10 | Tiefling |
The reincarnated creature makes any choices that a species’ description offers, and the creature recalls its former life. It retains the capabilities it had in its original form, except it loses the traits of its previous species and gains the traits of its new one.
Reincarnate 5e 2024 vs. 2014 edition differences
The 2024 version introduces a 1d10 roll for species, including Goliath and Gnome, replacing the 2014 race table. It allows the DM to choose another playable species. The 2014 version specifies a GM roll and detailed race outcomes; the 2024 version simplifies species determination and removes race-specific traits retention.
