"He would not let himself be slain so easily, if he could not kill them in this life he certainly would do so in his next."
A power usually only used in time of desperation, as manifesting it signify the end of their life. Upon manifesting Egg of Rebirth, the manifester spit an ectoplasm sac resembling an egg from their mouth (or other orifice if they lack a mouth), after which they only have until the end of their next turn before dying. The manifester will typically use it last moments to ensure the survival of the egg, which is a tiny object with half the maximum hit point of the manifester with a hardness of 2.
If left intact, the egg will hatch within 1d4+1 round revealing a young child version of the manifester. In this state the manifester keep all of it abilities and class features, gain the Child template and 14 negative levels, which never result in level loss, death and cannot bring your hit point below half. The newly created child count as a new being whenever doing so would be advantageous, if the manifester possessed any curses, affliction or other effect upon them it does not carry to the new being, although a family curse would certainly transfer. The reborn manifester possess all of her memories, although the last few minutes of their own former life is extremely blurry.
It goes without saying that the reborn creature has no equipment, still left with the old body. The old creature is also beyond saving, nothing can bring them back to life as they transferred all their life energy, soul and memory the moment the egg left their body. Their last actions being merely the result of pure reaction.
The negative level vanish at the rate of one per year and otherwise may not be removed, after all are gone the manifester return to a young adult no matter their race aging speed. In this way the power can be used to lengthen their own existence far past their mortality. The process has one flaw, it does not create a perfect copy of the manifester. The new being's personality is usually slightly different from the original. That can even lead to a change of alignment as the new being grow and adapt. In addition there is also almost always slight cosmetic and appearance changes from the original, sometime these changes may be somewhat radical. In any case any changes brought upon by this power while not in character's ability to control is completely under the player's.
