Samsaran Death and Reincarnate


Rules Questions


Bestiary 4, Samsaran character and death.

Here's the text:
"Each samsaran is born with the knowledge that it has lived before, and shall continue onward after death through the cycle of reincarnation. When a samsaran dies, its body fades from sight, and another samsaran child appears somewhere and matures at the normal rate. Samsarans can reproduce with humans and produce true human offspring."

So, when a Samsaran is hacked down by a big ole critter...

1) How long does the body last? Can anything stop the body from fading from sight, like a gentle repose or even a time stop or temporal stasis?

2) What happens if a True Resurrection is applied to a dead Samsaran?

3) All the text and race features imply the natural Samsaran "reincarnation" is not like the spell of the same name. It seems an entirely new child is created somewhere, with no direct knowledge of their past life. Is that correct? Would all stats be re-rolled from scratch? All levels lost, basically a big do-over?

4) If a Samsaran was subject to a Reincarnation spell in the same round as their death, what happens?
