[RPG] Does a creature cloned using the Clone spell have all of its spell slots

dnd-5espell-slotsspells

As a wizard, I cast spells and such, then die. I have a clone set up in my demiplane (created using the clone spell; granted, I don't know any other ways to create a clone).

When I "wake up" my clone's body, do I have all my expended spell slots back?

Best Answer

No, you don't regain expended spell slots

Assuming this clone was created by the Clone spell, the spell description states (emphasis added):

At any time after the clone matures, if the original creature dies, its soul transfers to the clone, provided that the soul is free and willing to return. The clone is physically identical to the original and has the same personality, memories, and abilities, but none of the original's equipment.

This implies that abilities and related things are tied to the soul, rather than the body—for instance, you still have any new abilities, levels, new total spell slots (which may or may not be available before a long rest), etc. that you've gained since the clone of the body was created. Since the original wouldn't have had the ability to use those expended spell slots, neither does the clone.

A well-regarded answer on a related question espouses this same principle for why a Cloned character does not regain the ability to cast Wish: spell-casting abilities are tied to the soul, not the physical body.
