Here is the hypothetical:

Robert Grimdark is a Reincarnated Druid and gains Many Lives at level 5, our druid in question is Neutral Evil and worships Zon Kuthon, taking the Shade of the Uskwood feat. He uses Samsaran + Cleric (or scrolls, what have you) in order to summon a devil and tells the devil to go murder some lumberjacks or protect bambi's mom from hunters or what have you, not important. Zon Kuthon doesn't care cause he's lawful evil too and discussions of alignment will clog up the argument.

Bobby decides that worked out pretty well and decides to take a Level of Diabolist, boom he's damned! One of those lumberjack's brother is a paladin and he hunts Bobby down, a couple of smite youz later Bobby is dead.

Now what?

Reincarnated Druid Many Lives ability says Bobby would show up a day later in a new body in a safe location. It is an Extraordinary ability.

Diabolist Damned says that when a Diabolist dies they are INSTANTLY sent to hell. Get outta here, kitchen's closed unless someone makes a DC 10+bla save in order to resurrect you. It also says 'or the spell fails' does that mean that Many Lives being a Extraordinary and able to break laws of physics breaks laws of hell too?

So in order does the progression go: Dead -> Hell now -> Reincarnate one day later?

Would you allow the reincarnated druid to save against his own damnation? Of course, the devils in hell will probably see this as unlawful and cheating, and no smart devil would make a pact with a person who can get out of jail for free. Would they just torture him REALLY REALLY hard for one day?

Looking through the Advanced Class Guide content I noticed the new Holy Guide archetype should stack with the Holy Tactician Archetype. These archetypes are both about gaining teamwork feats.

questions about the character:

The Teamwork feat granted at level 5 (should be level 6) by Holy Guide requires a use of smite to activate for allies, but the Holy Tactician Battlefield Presence level 3 ability does not and accomplishes the same thing, and the holy tactician removes smite. Would you be able to use the Teamwork feat granted from Holy Guide with the Battlefield Presence ability?

Does Holy Tactician's Battlefield Presence function basically forever as long as the paladin uses a standard action at the beginning of the battle? Is it functioning as an aura to grant any ally that feat?

lastly, how would you build the character? With a boatload of teamwork feats it can grant to allies, Lay on Hands, Channel, some spells, full BAB and a 'group smite' you could build a very good front line leader. Paired Opportunists and Swarm Strike are good together but cant be used at the same time, unless you can use the teamwork feat from holy guide AND holy tactician at the same time

That being said there are plenty of good teamwork feats for ranged characters, such as Enfilading Fire and Target of opportunity.

Does anyone have a good idea of what to do with the favored terrain?

Hey everybody, I have done extensive work on my guide on the Reincarnated Druid, seen here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hzA1yye_11SwcEpQ2ccXvmLJGogjY39y4TI94v7 JKMA/edit?usp=sharing

I am working on some character builds, I am focusing first on The Lich, who is a Reincarnated Druid focused on necromancy and Lich flavor using the Shade of Uskwood feat.

Some considerations:
Venerable Age choice in order to boost casting stats with the intention of Reincarnating later.

Samsaran with the Cleric Mystic Past Life in order to gain Inflict spells and Create Undead. Also gaining access to Summon Monster 1-9 to make Augment Summoning more flexible of a choice.

Shade of the Uskwood (animate dead 5) vs Samsaran Mystic Past Life choice (animate dead 3, uses a precious slot, opens up Agent of the Grave faster)

Agent of the Grave to gain Desecrate and be able to treat undead animals as regular animals, opening up Druid animal specific spells.

Swamp Domain to be able to channel and affect animals.

I'd like some help with:
How to help a Druid control intelligent Undead? (no Command Undead or Control Undead) Perhaps more long term than Dominate Animal?

Some spells that work with animals that would have good synergy with an undead horde?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and inputs. If someone makes a full build that looks good, I'll add it to the guide of course.

Howdy all I have created an handbook for the Reincarnated Druid Archetype. I love this archetype but don't see much love for it. This is my first guide so if you have anything to add please let me know.

Enjoy

Hope this link works.
