Just finished a session where my lvl 2 wizard elf died... =(
The party managed to get me reincarnated by a druid, but i came back as a goblin. (which frankly i love, because goblins are the most hilarious things ever).
My problem is, now that im a lvl 1 wizard, with now lower int and a face only a mother could love. should i stick with wizard as my class, or multiclass and pick something else up at lvl 2?
Erm... why are you now a level 1 wizard? Last time I checked, PF didn't cause you to lose levels upon reincarnation, it stacks nagative levels on you (which is something completely different, and can be averted by Restoration)
Second, why should you now have lower Int?
A reincarnated creature recalls the majority of its former life and form. It retains any class abilities, feats, or skill ranks it formerly possessed. Its class, base attack bonus, base save bonuses, and hit points are unchanged. Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores depend partly on the new body. First eliminate the subject's racial adjustments (since it is no longer necessarily of his previous race) and then apply the adjustments found below to its remaining ability scores.
The subject of the spell gains two permanent negative levels when it is reincarnated. If the subject is 1st level, it takes 2 points of Constitution drain instead (if this would reduce its Con to 0 or less, it can't be reincarnated). A character who died with spells prepared has a 50% chance of losing any given spell upon being reincarnated. A spellcasting creature that doesn't prepare spells (such as a sorcerer) has a 50% chance of losing any given unused spell slot as if it had been used to cast a spell.
I must admit, however, I have no idea how the '2 negative levels on a level 2 char' are supposed to work, as officially, if your negeative levels equal or surpass your HD, you're dead (hence the Con drain on Level 1)

1 Neg Level and -1 Con.
P.S.:

Even more than Kobolds? I guess. Huzzah!
And yeah you don't have the INT penalty so you're Goblin Queen now! Unless your character is a man. In which case, he's. . .Goblin. . .something.

Unless the reincarnation resulted in a female goblin anyway...

My belief was, i love racial attributes and abilities. ie lose stats from elf, then gain the stats specified in the table. then go to level 1 and lose 1 con.
am i missing somehting?
Actually I just read negative levels and confusion just rose lol. So I'm still level 2, but I take negatives on everything?

You lose the physical stat modifiers you had as an elf. So, your +2 Dex, -2 Con are replaced by -2 Str, +2 Dex. Your mental stats (Int, Wis, Cha) are not affected. So, you effectively lose 2 Str and gain 2 Con. (This is, if your GM uses the table from the Reincarnate spell. Interesting enough, Goblins as per the PF Bestiary sport a +4 Dex modifier... looks like the table contains another serving of copypasta from 3.5)
Lose all the things tied to an elven body, gain all things tied to a goblin body (senses, immunities, etc.) Re-calculate size effects (you're small now).
You suffer 1 point of Con drain (which can be restored via Restoreation or some other healing effects), causing your effective Con to go down by 1 point.
So, all in all, your stats change the following way:
Str -2
Dex +0 (or +2, see my comment)
Con +2-1 (that one drain can be healed as usual)
As for the negative level: As long as that negative level persists (i.e. until it is healed via Restoration or the like), you suffer:
-5 to maximum HP
-1 to on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, and skill checks
-1 to your Caster level, and the effects of all your School powers are based on one level lower than you are.
You are still a Level 2 character, though. Your XP are unchanged. You advance to Level 3 normally, with the rest of the group... but the penalties I mentioned above won't go away from that.
Anything un-clear?
You also gain a voracious appetite and an ability to squeeze into very small spots.
You may also develop an intense and unfounded fear of horses and dogs. ;-)

Not to mention the fact that your spell book might try to steal the words out of your head when you are reading it...
In our campaign, Goblins have a fascination with defacation and excrement, and are often found flinging poo at one another. They also find it the absolute height of humor to fill a bags of holding to bursting with poo, and leaving them amongst treasure piles for hapless adventureres to stumble upon.
Really, the possibilities for goblin amusement are virtually infinite!
yep i got all the information guys, thanks heaps. And i dont need to do anything with clothing, ill just continue to used the outfit my wizard wore, including hat lol
What makes this more funny was, before i wrote up my elf i was on the GM for ages trying to get him to allow me to play a goblin. Then during the campaign i died....
we knew of a druid that lived in a grove, so my party took me there and begged for help. the druid began to reincarnate me.
I consulted the table, and saw goblin listed. 39-42 roll needed. The GM said if i rolled it i could play it.
After much fear i rolled the single units dice. revealing a 2. Then with much anticipation, i rolled the 10's dice.
As i rolled my mate waved his (jedi like) hand over the dice, and so a 40 was seen. And then the goblin born!
LOVE IT< THANKS ALL FOR HELP!!!!
I also decided, now I am in a goblins body (because of a giant centipede) I will consider it my own personal mission to kill every centipede in the world.
During our campaign we were each given 'professions' which boosted certain things. I am the Professor, who studies fora and fauna and other things. Recieve +2 to all knowledge checks, and can make money by selling information i have collected about certain creatures.
I therefore find this the perfect opportunity to infiltrate a goblin tribe and learn everything that no non goblin has learnt before.
