You are difficult to kill. You heal damage at 5 points per round, but you cannot die as long as your regeneration is still functioning (although you still fall unconscious when their hit points are below 0). During this round, you cannot heal any damage and can die normally. Attack forms that don't deal hit point damage are not healed by regeneration. Regeneration also does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation. You can regrow lost portions of you body and can reattach severed limbs or body parts if they are brought together within SelfResurrection A slain phoenix remains dead for only 1d4 rounds unless its body is completely destroyed by an effect such as disintegrate. Otherwise, a fully healed phoenix emerges from the remains 1d4 rounds after death, as if brought back to life via resurrection. The phoenix loses 1d8 points from its maximum hit point total each time this occurs, although most use restoration to remove this condition as soon as possible. A phoenix can self-resurrect only once per year.
