True Reincarnate

The idea provides an excellent opportuntity for additional character development. However the current proposed format has much to be desired. Many people want to be able to retain some of the flavour of their previous character and integrate it into their new one. The devs have tried this to some degree with the proposed feats, these feats have to be ballanced against other feats and as a result provide no real flavour or benefit and does not do anything at all for preserving anything to do with the previous race at all.

The problem is that trying to combine it all into a single feat will not work and most player based suggestions create over powered feats that while add some flavour tend to be unbalanced.

Fortunately DDO has someting PNP does not have and that is enhancments. Enhancements could be used quite easily to provide a balanced addition to the reincarnation process as follows:

Racial Memory

Unlocks previous races Tier 1 (per times reincarnated as that race eg tier 2 if twices as that race) enhancements, or if the same race again gains a bonus reduction in cost of 1 pt per time reincarnated as that race, effectively becoming a paragon of it, to a minimum cost of 1pt per enhancment.

Class Memory

Unlocks previous classes Tier 1 (per times reincarnated as that class eg tier 2 if twice as that class) enhancements or if the same class again gains a bonus reduction in cost of 1pt per time reincarnated as that class, effectively using their previous lifes experiece to learn things easier.

Neither of these things cost feats and are automatic.

The Racial bonus could be made avaialble to non reincarnated characters by a feat such as (Racial Upbring/Training) allowing for a more diverse character development.

PRC could also be accessed this way but should block development in current class PRC while using it, ie no tier 1 tempest tier 3 Kensais, they would have the option of becoming a tempest tier 1 at level 6 but may drop it latter in favour of Tier 2 or 3 or even 1 Kensai if they prefer (Kensai and Tempest only being used as an obvious example)

Obviously there would need to be some further considerations but would allow for much further character diversity.
