Is a creature under the effects of Death Ward immune to the damage caused by Harm or any of the Inflict spells?
Death Ward states that subjects are immune to negative engery-effects. Both Harm and the Inflict spells state that negative energy is involved without specifically stating that these are negative energy-effects.
My guess is yes, but I thought I'd get some confirmation either way. Thanks.
Based on the wording of the two spells I would have to agree that Death Ward would make you immune to Harm.
Harm
Harm charges a subject with negative energy that deals 10 points
of damage per caster level (to a maximum of 150 points at 15th
level). If the creature successfully saves, harm deals half this
amount. Harm cannot reduce the target’s hit points to less than 1.
Death Ward
The subject gains a +4 morale bonus on saves against all death
spells and magical death effects. The subject is granted a save
to negate such effects even if one is not normally allowed. The
subject is immune to energy drain and any negative energy
effects, including channeled negative energy.
This spell does not remove negative levels that the subject has
already gained, but it does remove the penalties from negative
levels for the duration of its effect.
Death ward does not protect against other sorts of attacks, even
if those attacks might be lethal.
