Overview[edit]

Dungeons and Dragons Online supports the ability to take a character that is at least level 20 and reincarnate, using Heroic Reincarnation to take a character with a standard race to level 1, allow you to respec it into the same or different type of character. This process is also available to characters with iconic races using Iconic Reincarnation when you have reached level 30.

During this process, gives your character access to two new feats. One of these feats is passive, and you get for free, meaning it is automatically granted at level 1, and there is no action you have to take to use it. The other is a feat you have to purchase with using a standard feat slot.

Subsequent reincarnations allow you to keep your previous past life feats, and will add more. Each class can have each of these feats stacked up to 3 times, accumulating the benefit. So, if you had 3 Artificer past lives, you would take the benefit and multiply it by 3. Beyond the third time there is no accumulated benefit.

Once you have a single past life in each of the classes that exist at the time, you have an option of another feat Completionist which is not free.

Dominate Class[edit]

When a character does a reincarnation, the class that is used to determine which heroic past life feat that character will received is determined through the following steps:

  1. If there is a tie for the most levels (Rogue 10/Ranger 10), the determination is made using the following list, the class that is higher on the list is used
  2. If there is one class that has the most levels - use that class (Rogue 2/Fighter 18 uses Fighter)
    1. Barbarian
    2. Bard
    3. Cleric
    4. Fighter
    5. Paladin
    6. Ranger
    7. Rogue
    8. Sorcerer
    9. Wizard
    10. Monk
    11. Favored Soul
    12. Artificer
    13. Warlock
    14. Druid
