==The Reincarnation Process==

There are several circumstances that prevent a candothist from returning to their body upon their death: 

* If their body is raised as an [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]]. However, making an unsuitable vessel, the process instead fails and their corpse melts into blood and ichor.
* If their body is placed inside a magical container or surrounded by magical barriers or force. 
* If their body is cut in half (or otherwise reduced to less than half its original weight). 
* If their body is petrified. A candothist turned to stone is not dead. However, this situation grants them the option of allowing their soul to depart, which does kill them. This choice must be made at the moment of petrification. If their body is ever turned back to flesh, they may return to it as normal. 
* If their body rots. 
* If they cannot pay the cost of the [[SRD:Energy Drain, Negative Levels, and Level Loss#Negative Levels|Negative Level]] or the full 2 [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] [[SRD:Ability Burn|burn]], they cannot use Self-Reincarnate.

There are several circumstances that allow a candothist to return under special conditions:

* If they have previous bodies that have been preserved (such as through ''[[SRD:Gentle Repose|gentle repose]]''), their soul may return to a previously inhabited body, so long as it is available to be inhabited. 
* Their soul may inhabit the bodies of other departed candothists, so long as the body has been prepared for them to return to it. To prepare a foreign body for them to inhabit, an 8 hour ritual must take place as the body is bathed in specially prepared magical fluids costing 1,200 gp.
* A casting of ''[[reincarnate]]'' rebuilds the candothist’s body and can recall them. With the spell, a candothist rolls on the [[#Table: Morphic Reincarnation|Morphic Reincarnation]] chart, not the reincarnate chart listed with the spell.

Upon using their Self-Reincarnate ability, a candothist will have no memory of just being dead, and will often come to the conclusion that they were left for dead, but somehow survived. Waking up in a coffin six feet underground has killed many candothists (again), but when they escape, it often acts as fuel for rumors of undead in the area.

Each time a candothist uses his Self-Reincarnate ability, they must roll on the [[#Table: Morphic Reincarnation|Morphic Reincarnation]] chart below to determine what parts of their form change. Each Incarnation starts at the adult age and characters loose any age penalties or bonuses from their previous incarnation. Candothists do not have a maximum age from which they can be incarnated from, but they still die of old age. If Neutral is rolled, the character appears neither male nor female. Their unique candothist traits (such as horns or pointed ears) do not change during reincarnation.
