Question re: this class / feat combo


Dungeon Magazine General Discussion


Hello. I've made a Dread Necromancer with the Tomb-tainted soul feat(healed by negative energy, such as inflict spells, damaged by normal healing). The class has a touch attack called Charnal touch that deals negative energy damage. Both the feat & class can be found in Heroes of Horror (feat also in Libris Mortis).

Would you, as a DM, allow the Dread Necromancer to heal themselves with their own charnal touch?

Personally I think the spirit of the feat was meant to see Inflict spells/potions used to heal the DN (like other sentient undead use). The charnal touch ability (being available once per round indefinitely) would effectively regenerate oneself, and would be too powerful imo.

Would this be a fair assessment?

Thanks,
J-

That was exactly what I was looking for. The explanation of why it wouldn't work makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for taking the time to find that!
