02-13-07, 05:42 PM According to my DM the spell Astral Projection will let you make you Astral body upon, then move back into the material plane with a new body, equipment, and fail save attack method which is reuseable.

I question if this would really work? or if you used AP to make an Astral Body and moved back into the plane your real body is in, you would just wake up in your usual body and waste a 9th spell and a little over 1000 gp.

02-13-07, 05:47 PM The spell projects an astral copy of you and all you wear or carry onto the Astral Plane. Since the Astral Plane touches upon other planes, you can travel astrally to any of these other planes as you will. To enter one, you leave the Astral Plane, forming a new physical body (and equipment) on the plane of existence you have chosen to enter.

Bolding is mine.

Since the Material Plane touches the Astral Plane, it's a perfectly viable location to project one's astral body. This is an excellent method for safe travel and exploration of the material (or any other) plane. Just be prepared to lay down serious protections and safeguards for your helpless true form in case your character's enemies try to take advantage of this vulnerability.

02-14-07, 11:06 AM Astral Projection is one of the best spells already.

I rule that if you return to the plane you are on, that is the same as returning to your body, ending the spell.

I allow players to go to the material plane using Astral Projection, ONLY if they first put their body on another plane.

Not that hard to do, just Plane Shift/Gate/ etc.
