I'm thinking about this, does it read the hormones you have?
Or is it full fantasy it reads your soul?? Now that will be great no more doubting, just contact your local necromancer for a quick regeneration spell !
The second is how I'd personally rule True Resurrection recreating a body that no longer exists or is too damaged to use. Same with how you look when Astral Projecting.
My personal take on it is this. Since it requires the body, normal Resurrection rebuilds the body from the body's own blueprint then asks the Soul to return to it. So diseases, missing limbs/organs, body mods, etc. get "fixed" from the body's POV and you're left with what your body would be at that age if nothing prior had happened to it. Then you'd be contacted in your respective afterlife and asked if you want to come back.
True Resurrection contacts you first and then if you agree to come back looks to the Soul to create the appropriate vessel for your return.
So a trans woman would be Resurrected in the man's body she was born in. But would be True Resurrected as the woman she always was inside.
So I'm just picturing a Church of Bahamut using True Resurrection to revive one of their mightiest heroes from a time long passed. Who legends say was a mountain of a man almost seven feet tall and who was so strong he could rip a man in half with his bare hands. Only for an absolutely tiny woman to appear before them because when the hero died in battle and arrived in the afterlife that's when she finally saw her true self that she'd been running from all that time. She absolutely can still rip a man in half with her bare hands of course because her abilities wouldn't change.
I feel your idea is a bit of, when the hero resurrects she comes out as a 2 m gigantic woman sculpted like an amazon no tiny woman as after the years she I guess she probably accepts herself as warrior and women
Although I guess that will depend on the person maybe she really hated fighting
I'm a sucker for characters where what they look like is entirely opposite of what they do. Giant bear men being squishy/cuddly support mages, a girl who's all of 5' -3" effortlessly swinging around a sword bigger than she is, that kind of thing. I like characters that embody the contradiction between my smol bean enby heart and my large bear frame.
So the way this character went in my head was she hated fighting but did so out of a sense of duty that she leaned into in order to quiet the voices in her head telling her something was wrong inside. Then in the years after death the stories of her got exaggerated until when they called on her to save the world again they were expecting someone twice the size that she even was when she was alive. But that's again entirely because I love the idea of them expecting this 2m+ behemoth of a man, getting what looks like a waifish little princess, but still having the strength that caused her image in legend over the years to warp into that behemoth.
Edit: my phone keyboard apparently added trap between 2m and behemoth and I didn't notice it. I also added a bit about my own identity that goes into why I love these characters.
That's a woman.
Ok and?
Then they have to get HRT again, but at least they are alive.
doesn't stuff like this tend to operate on the soul as a template? so if anything killing and resurrecting someone with body dysmorphia should turn them into what they see themselves as
I feel like this is one of those things that would differ between Resurrection and Reincarnate, but I'm not sure off the top of my head which would do what.
Also a possibility depending on the RPG universe.
I never got to play this character very long, but I had this idiot rich draconic bloodline Sorcerer whose parents had hidden the fact that they were a Tiefling from them.
As far as they knew, they were a half-orc with a skin condition, born when their father was shamed and banished, and their mother was swept off their feet by a gallant orc of the hinterlands. (lol, no, the parents are evil AF demon worshippers spawning teiflings into the bloodline, and they're too dumb to realize it. No hot orc babydaddy to speak of)
They cut off the tail and cauterized the horn buds really early, and basically the plan was to see if they discovered the Draconic Bloodline before or after getting hit by a strong enough healing spell to restore their demonic features.
They probably wouldn't be able to understand the idea that they could be both part demon and part dragon, and part Good aligned and part Evil aligned creature, to boot. Comedy gold in the right party.
Surely the spell restores your functioning homeostasis priror to death rather than 3d printing some kind of magically made repository of all your "healthiest" body parts right? So surely gods and magic don't care about your foreskin or untransing your gender.
PUT THAT ORC WOMAN BACK IN HER ASSIGNED SEX AT BIRTH BODY AND REINSTALL THAT BITCHES' APPENDIX AND DORMANT CANCER TISSUE. MYRKUL DEMANDS THE RESTORATION OF THE APPENDIX.
Well, the good news is that cancer and appendicitis would be considered diseases which the spell explicitly cures when making the body "whole" for the resurrection.
The bad news is that the Weave does not differentiate between things removed purposefully and things lost in combat. So it is 100% untransing your gender.
But some more good news is that if a mage concentrates on True Polymorph for its full 1-hour duration the effects become permanent unless dispelled. So they can trans your gender so effectively they can actually give you all the fully functional bits and bobs.
In my homebrew setting I have a major band of retired adventurers made up of scrapped character concepts from over the years. One of them actually travels the land among other things transing the genders of people born into the wrong body as they were.
Would anywhere in Toril have reason to practice circumcision? Which of the gods commanded their followers to cut off the skin of their dicks? It was Cyric wasn't it? It would certainly sow chaos and discord without resulting in wars.
So if i died from debilitating illness, to what point such spell resurrect me? ๐ค
This card should be airdropped from B-52s by the billions. Hook those homies up.
