Removing Negative Levels Question


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Say I am playing a 5th level reincarnated druid and want a way of removing negative levels, what are my options? I've found a few that work but I wanted to know ALL of my options for removing negative levels, preferably without the help of outside spell casters.

1) Samsaran and Mystic Past Life to add restoration, restoration, greater, and miracle to my character's list of spells known to remove negative levels and restore the appearance of my character's reincarnated body.

2) Multiclass into a class that can cast restoration and restoration, greater.

3) Aasimar with Enlightened Warrior racial trait and multiclass from druid into qinggong monk (Neutral Good alignment) to replace diamond body with the ability to use restoration as a spell-like ability (no gold cost).

4) Buy ranks in Use Magic Device and buy scrolls of restoration and restoration, greater.

5) Bathe in the blood of a dragon using Dragoncraft items (3 vials of dragon's blood costs 180 gp and removes 1 negative level each week).

Any other options I don't know about?

How about just buying the spell from a cleric?


I agree with LazarX. Price is cheap enough to, 1000gp for the component cost. Caster level (7) × spell level (4) × 10 gp. Total price: 1280

This assumes you have access to 4th level spells where you are (if you are using the town size rules) or your DM allows it.


I was looking more for standalone options and lesser-known class features or world options that would do the trick.


so this is for world building then?

Three levels in Green Faith Acolyte will do the trick.

I'll be darned... that is a good one. 10 points to Azten!


Well... it's not removing, but

Resist Level Drain (Ex): A dhampir takes no penalties from energy drain effects, though he can still be killed if he accrues more negative levels then he has Hit Dice. After 24 hours, any negative levels a dhampir takes are removed without the need for an additional saving throw.

Some abilities and spells (such as raise dead) bestow permanent level drain on a creature. These are treated just like temporary negative levels, but they do not allow a new save each day to remove them. Level drain can be removed through spells like restoration. Permanent negative levels remain after a dead creature is restored to life. A creature whose permanent negative levels equal its Hit Dice cannot be brought back to life through spells like raise dead and resurrection without also receiving a restoration spell, cast the round after it is restored to life.

Would this mean that a dhampir ignores the penalties of having a negative level from being raised, and also, as a specific over general application of an ability, would lose the negative level the next day?


Yup.


Dhampir reincarnated druid... that would be a little tricky to pull off, especially if the druid gets reincarnated into a non-dhampir and loses the Resist Level Drain extraordinary ability.

Still, good use of mechanics.
