Monster x + 5 levels of Reincarnated Druid + death = ?


Advice

As the titles says what would happen if a powerful monster had gained 5 levels of reincarnated druid and gained the ability many lives?

Many Lives (Ex)

At 5th level, if a reincarnated druid is killed, she may automatically reincarnate (as the spell) 1 day later. The reincarnated druid appears in a safe location within 1 mile of her previous body. At will for the next 7 days, she can sense the presence of her remains as if using locate object as a spell-like ability. If she is killed during these 7 days, she remains dead and does not reincarnate. The many lives ability does not function if the reincarnated druid is slain by a death effect. A reincarnated druid cannot be raised from the dead or resurrected, though she can be reincarnated.

Now would I use the chart listed or should there be a chart made up for each creature type?

Example lets say I make a great wyrm black dragon who also happens to have 5 levels of reincarnated druid.

Now would it make sense for the reincarnation table to be made up of dragon types only, be random or just stick to the vanilla chart?

Also would a reincarnated dragon keep any of the powers it had as a dragon? I mean some of them are learned powers not based on being a dragon solely if I am not mistaken no?

Another example based on the hypothetical question.

Let's say a great wyrm black dragon reincarnated druid 5 is killed by a party of adventurers and then brought back to life by his ability as a run of the mill human. He would then effectively become a human reincarnated druid 5 only I believe.... but... emphasis on the but a great wyrm black dragon also casts spells

Spells: A dragon knows and casts arcane spells as a sorcerer of the level indicated in its specific description. Its caster level depends on its age, as shown for each type.

So would the human reincarnated druid also be able to cast as a sorcerer of 15th level as well or would they just lose this?


From the spell:

"For non-humanoid creatures, a similar table of creatures of the same type should be created."

Ok, but following this line from the spell using the example again of a black wyrm dragon would that mean I put down a dragon type or do I put it down as a dragon type / dragon age in the list.

This would mean say if I simply put the dragon type then the dragon would be a great wyrm of whatever they role whereas if the creature rolled for age as well they could come back as a wyrmling instead no?

I don't see any reason why the age thing would be different for dragons just because they get better as they get older. "The magic of the spell creates an entirely new young adult body for the soul to inhabit from the natural elements at hand."

Now the gaining of new feats and skills as they age again is a different question that I'm not sure how to address. But the flat answer to the question is the dragon comes back as a young adult.

That said, I suspect this is an NPC and story-driven, so do what feels right and don't worry about the fact that spells are written around PC races and sometimes need more interpretation for other creatures.


even if a dragon would be reincarnated in a wyrmling body it still:

keeps all it's feats
keeps all it's skills
keeps all it's class abilities (spells, etc)
keeps all of it's HD
etc

really, the only thing that changes is:
physical attributres of a wyrmling instead of whatever he was
natural attacks
fly speed

some things DO remain sketchy:
p.e. frigtful aura.
going by raw, it should keep the old one.
going by reasoning, it should get the new one, since he is just a tiny little dragon now and not a gargantuan machine of death out of the legends

Doesn't reincarnate create a young adult body? Shouldn't the dragon be a young adult body then?

yes a yound adult body.

but it retains all skills, abilities, feats, mental stats, etc from the old body.

so the only thing that changes is:
fly speed
size
str/dex/con
damage/# of nat attacks

all the other remain as the original dragon's form
