Magic Jar my body back - Beast-bonded witch


Rules Questions


Under what conditions could i retake my body? Say I leave my body at 0 hp and it then becomes damaged to the point of negative my constitution score (or lower). Could I heal the body and enter it again?

Twin Soul (Su):
: At 10th-level, if the witch or her familiar is gravely injured or about to die, the soul of the dying one immediately transfers to the other's body. The two souls share the surviving body peaceably, can communicate freely, and both retain their ability to think and reason. The host may allow the guest soul to take over the body temporarily or reclaim it as a move action. They can persist in this state indefinitely, or the guest can return to its own body (if available) by touch, transfer into a suitable vessel (such as a clone), or take over another body as if using magic jar (with no receptacle). This replaces the witch's major hex at 10th-level.


You would probably have to resurrect it first but I don't see why not


That whole ability seems like it could use a look over. The "as if using magic jar (with no receptacle)" raises a lot of questions to me (what happens to the victim?).


There isn't a victim. The witch moves in with a buddy while their body is being renovated, then moves back in.


"take over another body" sounds like there is.


As it says in the OP's spoiler, "The two souls share the surviving body peaceably".


The ability to do that occurs after they are in the same body.


Ah, I see your point now. Since the OP was talking about a peaceful return to his own body I missed the possibility of a hostile takeover in the last line. Magic Jar reads, "Any life force with nowhere to go is treated as slain." Save or Die.
