So, since we now have an item that lets you get a racial past life different from the race you're actually playing, how about having an item that lets you get a racial past life instead of a class past life when you do an Iconic reincarnation?
To avoid confusion such as "what the heck race are Shadar-kai actually", it could just be a slightly more expensive version of the existing item and let you automatically pick whatever race you want (provided you own it).
SDKs are Human, I dont know why there'd be any confusion
Accept they really aren't, Elf would be closer.Quote:

Hmmm reading the above, they really should make a great necromancer being dark fey that are in an inbetween state of life and death themselves. Missed opportunity I guess. *shrugs*
Elves in some editions of D&D are actually fey. The term "fair folk" applies to both Elves an Fey interchangeably in a lot of books.Quote:

I wonder how it would work, since the heart to reincarnate an Iconic is its own separate thing.
Might be a lot of work for little benefit here...
No I mean in DDO they literally have the Human featQuote:

They have a feat that treats them as human for the purposes of certain magical effects and racial restricted items (pretty much a thing of the past). Basically hold person rather than hold monster, human bane versus what?, and manslayer supposedly work on them.Quote:

On that same wiki page it also says:
Racial feats
Shadar-kai Do Not receive a bonus feat at level 1 since they are Extraplanar, Outsiders from the Plane of Shadow.
