<p>That being said, the one you described above is <b>not</b> in the 3.0 Epic Level Handbook (or any other official product from Wizards of the Coast). You are right that it is a joke - it's from a 3.5 homebrew campaign. I mean, they even have an epic spell there that will make a deity your permanent slave, with a ridiculous Spellcraft DC of over 2,000. •rolls eyes•</p>

What if you did stitch a bunch of monster parts into a new monster and then cast polymorph any object on it to make that monster. It may still only be a 1 hour duration, but the base object is certainly very close to being the creature, so I could see a GM maybe making it slide. It’d be limited to owlbear-like monsters though.</p>That’s an interesting idea.

<p>Step 2.5:
<br />
While the corpse is complete but not a living body yet, it counts as an object.

Can I use Craft Wondrous Item to give the corpse SLAs? I suspect the corpse would then counts as a Magic Item and not a corpse, so be an invalid target for step 3 :(</p>Off topic but interesting...

<p>Bit of an odd one for you.</p>
<p>I'm trying to see if there is a way to create new life from scratch using spells and magic items.
<br />
I've got few ideas, but have ran into a bit of a wall.</p>
<p>Step 1:
<br />
Collect together a suitable amount of biomass. Eg. corpses, plants, insects (dead), other meat</p>
<p>Step 2:
<br />
Use the Fabricate spell to craft a completely new corpse from the biomass. [Is this spell capable of this?]
<br />
Alternatively, is there a way to create the new corpse using Necrocraft and then just kill it after so as to just have the fully formed corpse (will need some repair) without it being undead?</p>
<p>Step 3:
<br />
Cast False Resurrection on the crafted corpse and let the duration elapse.
<br />
This specifically leaves the body "alive but soulless (like that created by clone)"</p>
<p>Step 4:
<br />
Somehow create a soul??????????
<br />
I know you can Craft Ooze to create a living creature from scratch and then steal it's soul, but I'm hoping to do this with spells and magic items only.
<br />
Is there a way to steal a fragment of a soul (like in Soulbound Dolls) but not the whole soul?
<br />
Can I use Soul Transfer on an attuned Black Soul Shard? Probably not...</p>
<p>Step 5:
<br />
Cast Parasitic Soul to transfer the new soul into the crafted body.
<br />
Is there an easier but still permanent method of doing this, since the body is currently uninhabited but alive?</p>
<p>Step 6:
<br />
Tinker with the newly created being's memory using Modify Memory.
<br />
Depending on how the soul was obtained we may need to cast Amnesia first.</p>
<p>As you can see, there are definitely some issues with this, especially Step 4.</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>Hey folks
