Questions about reincarnation and dragon blood/

[gerriot]

Some guy in game gift me dragon blood, and i think about reincarnation to use it.
1) Dragon blood use 1 time or it multi use?
2) I can drink multi dragon bloods or only 1 for extra feats?
3) If i drink blood before reincarnation i lost extra feat?
4) I dot lose pre LL tags?
Right now i lvl 40(no immortal) i lost 400000 xp when reincarnate is it worth it, simpley reincarnate on Legendary levels and its be fine?
wiki have some scary meseges like "it will be locked for three months", "at the end of the initial week your reincarnated character will be invalidated and no longer able to be played."

What I understand, the dragons blood is one time use, I believe at level 1 only on open subrace characters only and only one dragons blood to a character. So from my understanding some of the questions you have don't matter if it is only at level 1 and on open subrace characters, unless you reincarnate to an open subrace, then you might be able to drink the blood at level 1.

There are other items in the game to give you additional feats, some on items, books you can read and such. Those don't have the same limitations.

1) Dragon blood use 1 time or it multi use? - 1 Dragon blood per character and ONLY if you are an 'open' subrace
2) I can drink multi dragon bloods or only 1 for extra feats? - As above one only
3) If i drink blood before reincarnation i lost extra feat? - You would have to drink another blood on the reincarnated character
4) I dot lose pre LL tags? - All pre-LL accomplishments are returned on the final step of a non-immortal reincarnation
Right now i lvl 40(no immortal) i lost 400000 xp when reincarnate is it worth it, simpley reincarnate on Legendary levels and its be fine? - If you are planning on not going outside the changes allowed for immortal reincarnation (see here wiki.hgweb.org/wiki/Reincarnation for more information) you may as well wait until you are immortal and keep the xp over 40 you have already accumulated
wiki have some scary meseges like "it will be locked for three months", "at the end of the initial week your reincarnated character will be invalidated and no longer able to be played." - The messages are there to reduce the chances of people doing something outside what is allowed and potentially invalidating their character.
The time restrictions are there to limit people from getting their open race pure Barbarian to level 80 (insert whatever level you want here as long as it is 41-80) then simply changing it to a level 80 xR race sorcerer as this would severely reduce the amount of new characters being played by existing players.
It may be worth waiting until you get a character to level 50 to be able to use UR Race Books or 60 to use BUR race books before dabbling with reincarnation especially if you want to keep using the character in question.
XP flows in surprisingly quickly once you start doing LL runs getting hold of the two books you need to change the tier of subrace may not be difficult depending on the subrace(s) you are looking to use.
There are other books (the Tomes, Pandects & Epodes listed here wiki.hgweb.org/wiki/Category:Usable_Books) which may or may not be useful for specific characters although the Epodes are only useful for Shifter characters meaning they are effectively the only character class that can use one of each type.

On Dragon Blood

#1 Single or Multi Use - Depends it is multi use to drink it to earn a free feat for Open Subrace toons however if you use it to unlock a Secret Subrace I believe the blood is lost. You will need a 2nd vial I believe to reincarnate and upgrade to a Secret Subrace from an Open Subrace

#2 Drinking multiple dragons bloods - No an Open Subrace toon can only consume 1 dragons blood.

#3 I haven't tested but I believe the free feat and the consumed blood as effectively erased and you would need to consume the blood again, assuming you are still an Open Subrace, or consume a different one depending on what feat/function you desire for your build.

#4 Are Pre-LL tags lost - No any tags you have should move to the reincarnated toon however you cannot pick up missed tags as the point in reincarnation in which tags are claimed is when you are done leveling and the process overwrites any tags you get prior to reclaiming the ones you had. This step also cannot be skipped or it will create an invalid toon.

There is a penalty to experience when reincarnating but if you have exp beyond L40 and are not immortal I believe any exp in excess is lost if you are immortal then it will just be the standard penalty. This penalty can effectively go up if your new toon has an exp penalty from class/level combo based on standard NWN class exp penalty rules and any custom HG favored class changes.

To also add an additional note about dragon blood not all Open Subraces will get a feat some will have their vulnerabilities reduced and which specific blood is used won't matter.

Also worth noting that reincarnating to a subrace that has an experience penalty (or bonus class) for the build you are making will affect the amount of experience given back when you talk to the light.

You might want to make yourself (or reincarnate into) a caster. Sorcerers and druids are 1. great for legendary farming and 2. welcome in groups. Neither need dragon blood in order to function. There are some amazing builds for both, this is the golden standard for sorcerers and has lot of useful information on how to get from zero to hero. Not to mention that the barbarian build you seem to be following says in the very beginning "do not use, it is defunct" (but I'm flattered nonetheless )

When you are a bit more experienced, or if you join a uro run, you will make 400,000 xp in 20-30 minutes. 
Do not be concerned about losing xp, the goal is to get to 125,000,000 after all. 

If you want to solo and drag other characters, a shifter is a great character to make. Look at DBs drunken shifter guide for inspiration - highergroundpoa.proboards.com/thread/24275/drunken-guide-shifting-druid-shifter
As a dedicated dragger/leveller I would recommend taking undead form as banshee is amazing in LLs (and higher).

Taking the advice above into account there are two open subraces that will give you 10% bonus XP Lizardfolk (Druid BC) and Yuan-Ti (Sorcerer BC).
If you want to be able to solo things when the population is low both Shifter and Sorcerer work really well and if you make the change pre-immortality you will only have to wait a month until you can then upgrade your race tier which should give you time to obtain the items required.
