Phoebus in the old RG, to reflect infrequent adventuring between ~579 and 596 CY. Thanks in advance for your comments!

According to the Reincarnate spell he would gain the attribute modifiers of +2 Strength, +2 Constitution. OTOH he'd loose 2 from Con due to the spell. For his flavour I guess it would be cool to go a step farther and let him gain the 2HD of humanoid and other lizardfolk racial traits (incuding Int -2) too. (I'm not sure if he'd loose all his human racial benefits like bonus feat and skill points though.) Why did you ditch the figurines of wondrous power? And what about the blood-kin ritual? Maybe this could be explained as a special ability or new feat somehow. Did he use a trident before his reincarnation? If not he has too many trident related feats! *goes looking for his notes on a 3.5 conversion of Valerius*

(I'm not sure if he'd loose all his human racial benefits like bonus feat and skill points though.) I stuck with the reincarnate rules (+2 Str and Con, no extra racial HD, etc.); I did not remove his bonus feat and bonus skill points gained for the first 10 fighter levels (RG states that he attained 10th level prior to his reincarnation). If anyone knows for sure that this is not how reincarnate works, please let me know. Why did you ditch the figurines of wondrous power? And what about the blood-kin ritual? Maybe this could be explained as a special ability or new feat somehow. He still has the golden lions -- see combat gear. As for the blood-kin ritual, I suppose it could be some kind of feat . . . Did he use a trident before his reincarnation? If not he has too many trident related feats! The RG doesn't specify whether Phoebus always used a trident or not, but I'm assuming that it was his favorite weapon from the beginning. (The illustration of him in RG shows him armed with his trident.) Thanks for your input, Thanael!
