Okay...
Current incarnation: Hephestian Bard
at level 19, I've begun to get the urge to reinc, on the basis of knowing a place where I can farm 3500 gold/day as a dragon fighter 15 in about, oh... 10 minutes. This leaves me free to idle the rest of the day as I play World of Warcraft/Kingdom Hearts.
Advantages to staying: I like parties. Bards are fun in parties.
Disadvantages to staying: I like parties. I basically idle until I get one, which can take time.
Advantages to reincing: Soloing means maybe I'll gain xp in a reinc for once (it happened: as a Hand I nearly doubled my xpworth)
Disadvantages to reincing: More whining about how often I reinc from the Retroverse as a whole.

Reinced to Dragon Fighter.
...it was sorta nifty. If I'd gotten slightly better stats, I think I could even have achieved my goal of being able to solo Archovan at level 16.
Current reinc: Behemoth Monk (Hard form)
Advantages: High carrying capacity, large damage potential, amazing natural wc, no need for weaponry.
Disadvantages: Monks have to stay neutral to remain effective, get no strength from primary GLs, and behemoths just don't fit in some areas. Plus I have a V. Slow heartbeat.

Behemoth monk was good - got an offer, though, to reinc vamp necro and use a flay...
Tried it. It would be effective - if you had the 8 hours/day to get started that would make it fun afterwards.
Current Reinc: something Hand
Advantages: Hand rockzors.
Disadvantages: Doesn't conform to my current RP thread all that much.

But..
What about the kitty? WHAT ABOUT THE KITTY?!

Okay, out of an insane desire to lead the treant race and watch elthan tell me to die on a fairly regular basis, I reinced Treant Monk. This combo is fairly effective, and without the Neutral Align wish it's not that hard to stay neutral (neutral align wish makes your alignment like a bipolar woman with pms's mood swings)
I'm remarkably stunny already, and have found a relatively simple way to deal with the main problem a soft form monk has (no weapon specials): I'm going monk/ninja/lderf/softpath.
We'll see how effective it ends up.
So far, I've definitely improved my xpworth, as I drained off all my xp at level 10 in order to apprentice to Furious. I've since almost maxed out multiple higher-level skills/spells, so I'd say I'm probably worth about 3.5 megs now. At 36 megs I'll probably reinc biobard or majurer or druidabj or some craziness like merchsharp or handsharp

Again a lot of reincs in between...
Xpworth is probably horrid now, but I don't care, I'm having fun with it.
Werewolf Jomsviking, now.

Yeah, just... read the story arcs to keep track of these things =P They usually go along with an arc, or at least that's The Plan.
