Reincarnation
Cost: 3 Points/Rank
Relevant Ability: None
Progression: Descriptive; see below
If the character is destroyed, some of his or her essence may still survive. This may be in spiritual or digital form, or it may be something that must be retrieved from the corpse. A robot whose memory can be copied or uploaded, a creature that leaves an egg in its body upon death, or an undead monster that will reform a few minutes, hours, or days after its apparent death are all examples of this. If this remnant can be salvaged or otherwise recovered, in a matter of days or weeks and with proper care, it will develop a new body similar to the original.
Reincarnation can be prevented in some way. This may be as simple as burning, blowing up, or dismembering a body, or as obscure as requiring a special ritual, by overcoming the reincarnation save DC. For every rank the time for the reincarnation is reduced on the time value progression table. The GM and player must work together to determine the parameters involved in preventing the rebirth.
