Any classes or ways to come back to life? Like sand shaper
« on: April 17, 2016, 03:22:17 PM »
Is there any classes, item, feats etc that lets you come back to life?
Ex) "Desert Shroud (Ex): At 10th level, you gain the ability to come back to life under certain consitions. If the remains of your deceased body lie in the soil of the waste (generally desert sand, dust, or gravel) for 10 minutes, you are restored to life as though a resurrection spell had been cast upon you, provided you have not been dead for more than one hundred years. The soil must be deep enough, and occupy a large enough area, to cover your entire body (based on your size when the effect is complete)." - Sandshaper 10.
Place in sand, live again. This is also an extraordinary ability making it even better since you can ressurect someone within an anti-magic field.

You can craft a contingent spell to do it.

There's always the JPM Self-Destruct method (best if done at the end of that immortality spell that kills you off the Wu Jen list).

Really? Where? That would go against the "QUICK! TAKE A DUMP ON ALL OUR EXISTING FANS" mantra of 4e.

Might not be fully what you are looking for but ... Telflammar Shadowlord PrC?

Shadow Discorporation (Su): At 5th level, a Telflammar shadowlord learns how to use his mastery of shadows to cheat death. If the shadowlord is in shadow or darkness (anything but direct daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source), any damage that would reduce him to 0 hit points or below instead has a chance to discorporate him. The shadowlord attempts a Reflex save (DC 5 + damage dealt); if successful, he simply breaks apart into dozens of flitting shadows and vanishes, along with anything he is holding or carrying. At the next sunset, the shadowlord reappears at a spot of his choosing within one mile of the place where he was forced to discorporate. While discorporated, the shadowlord simply does not exist—he can do nothing, nor can any of his enemies do anything to him.

The main link is broken again. *sigh*  :shakefist

You can access the 2008 Article Archive here and simply search for Epic Destiny but all the links are broken again. In addition, using google to site search doesn't return the required hit so it's probably been broken for awhile.

Wayback has your back, it's ten thousand times more respectful of D&D's fanbase than WotC is.

That one was easily missed, right at the 3e/4e transition.
Amechra spotted it here ---> http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=4570

Tasty stuff, decent way to use a big pile of material. 
Can be used at levels 12, 15, 18, 20 (and 21).

It's in my archive, too. Doesn't the immorality handbook cover most of that sort of stuff?

Oh. It's epic... Soro, I assume you've already parsed those for your upcoming Epic compendium? I'm still hoping that gets finished.

Might not be fully what you are looking for but ... Telflammar Shadowlord PrC?

Shadow Discorporation
Also Jade Phoenix ToB PrC and every psionic character with Fiery Discorporation. There's a rogue one too somewhere. It's a shame they only work for damage (rather than all the other ways you can die).
