Immortality vs Reincarnation seeds?

[nocforweb]

I am going back through another playthrough and I am really intrigued at the idea of doing an immortal from the ancient days. Last time I got the chain I ended up reincarnation (which, thematically, sure, I guess... but in effect my king just insta-deathed before I had a chance to go feudal, so my kingdom shattered into a thousand pieces).

So I know that there are some things that are pre-determined real vs fake mystic at the very beginning, there is a 'type' of mystic such as 'martial' and your stat in that influences your chance of success and I've been digging through forums and sites everywhere (including this) but I'm not finding this one question:

At the very end, is there always a chance of death / reincarnation / true immortality? And then it is just RNG? Or does the mystic you got at the very beginning (their faith perhaps) pre-set you for reincarnation vs true immortality?

normally is their learning base stat, if isless than 10~11 its a fake one, so death or reincarnation, but if is more than 11 its most likely to be a true mystic

yeah but every time this has happened to me my guy always died and the reincarnated kid isnt my heir so its just stupid. Can you get true immortality and what OP asks is it RNG at the end can you get true immortality as your original char and are there other options... I only die and reincarnate and nothing comes of it everytime so idk the basics.

yes i got the inmortal trait quite sometimes, yes TRUE inmortality (try to not die in stupid ways like going to bale or plot), one of my favories were once with the GOD EMPEROR OF ROME!
