Some questions on how it works.
1. If you lost an eye during the previous battle, would regeneration grow it back?
2. If you lost and eye 20 years ago, would regeneration grow it back?
3. If you lost and eye 20 years ago, would resurrection replace it?
4. If you lost an eye 10 seconds before you died, would resurrection replace it?
Does Regeneration just know what to regenerate magically or are there rules?
If a woman had her hair trimmed, and nails filed and went out into combat and had her hair burned off and hands cut off would regeneration grow the hair back? What length? How long would her nails be?
Does Regeneration heal pulled or torn muscles? What about fatigue? Dehydration? Could Regeneration correct eyes that require glasses?

If you lost and eye 20 years ago, would resurrection replace it? 4. If you lost an eye 10 seconds before you died, would resurrection replace it? Does Regeneration just know what to regenerate magically or are there rules? If a woman had her hair trimmed, and nails filed and went out into combat and had her hair burned off and hands cut off would regeneration grow the hair back? What length? How long would her nails be? Does Regeneration heal pulled or torn muscles? What about fatigue? Dehydration? Could Regeneration correct eyes that require glasses? Generally speaking, Regenerate (the D&D spell) reattaches present body parts in 1 round or regrows missing body parts in 2d10 rounds. It also cures 4d8 hp + 1 hp per level (max +35 hp), rids the subject of exhaustion and fatigue, and eliminates all nonlethal damage. The Regenerate spell in D&D is instantaneous rather than duration-based like it is in NWN. Regenerate as written should regenerate any missing part regardless of how long it has been gone. I don't think deteriorating eyesight would be corrected with these spells though, because that's a natural aging process rather than an injury. Resurrection would restore the person to full health and vigor for their age. True Resurrection would do so without the loss of a level. I would generally say that Resurrection/True Resurrection would get rid of any crippling injury sustained in the previous life. The body is made whole and new. These spells do not make the person any younger though, so things that just occur to a body over time, such as deteriorating eyesight, would not be corrected. In the case of people that want to roleplay a sustained and persistent injury, such as Mouse's slashed throat and speech impediment, she could say that her throat injury and scar are part of her self-identity and therefore are always on her new body as well as her old. I believe a person's self-identity would also be the deciding factor in things like their haircut and stuff. Of course all of this is strictly how I would run it. The game does not dictate these nuances. |

Here's Regenerate from d20srd.org. It is worded identically to Regenerate in the 3.5e PHB (but easier to copy and paste than retype): Regenerate
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: Clr 7, Drd 9, Healing 7
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 3 full rounds
Range: Touch
Target: Living creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The subject’s severed body members (fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, tails, or even heads of multiheaded creatures), broken bones, and ruined organs grow back. After the spell is cast, the physical regeneration is complete in 1 round if the severed members are present and touching the creature. It takes 2d10 rounds otherwise.
Regenerate also cures 4d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +35), rids the subject of exhaustion and/or fatigue, and eliminates all nonlethal damage the subject has taken. It has no effect on nonliving creatures (including undead). |
So to answer your questions directly: 1. If you lost an eye during the previous battle, would regeneration grow it back? Yes.2. If you lost and eye 20 years ago, would regeneration grow it back? Yes.3. If you lost and eye 20 years ago, would resurrection replace it? Interpretation: I would say yes.4. If you lost an eye 10 seconds before you died, would resurrection replace it? Yes.Does Regeneration just know what to regenerate magically or are there rules? Yes. It knows what to regenerate magically.If a woman had her hair trimmed, and nails filed and went out into combat and had her hair burned off and hands cut off would regeneration grow the hair back? What length? How long would her nails be? Interpretation: Regeneration would regrow her hands, including her fingernails to "average" length so they're not in the quick. Regeneration probably would not restore her hair, since it is not an injury to have no hair.Does Regeneration heal pulled or torn muscles? Yes. What about fatigue? Yes. Dehydration? Dehydration is a form of nonlethal damage that causes fatigue, so yes. Regenerate cures all nonlethal damage. Could Regeneration correct eyes that require glasses? I would say no. This is not an injury but a natural deterioration of the body. |

Do I even dare ask what is prompting these questions? LOL I find that not knowing why someone wants to know helps me answer the questions directly without going off on tangents about particular deviant uses. (Remember, folks, Raise Dead, Resurrection, and True Resurrection only work on willing targets.) |
