Fester


Rules Questions


If you use Fester on an undead, does that mean it get's hurt by healing spells less?


Fester seems to block healing, not stop damage. Cure spells specifically (and most healing spells in general) do damage to undead. This isn't the same as doing reverse healing. A literal reading of the text would indicate that it does not function in the manner you're describing.

School necromancy; Level inquisitor 3, witch 2

Casting Time 1 standard action

Components V, S, M (rotted meat)

Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Target one living creature

Duration 1 round/level or 1 round; see text

Saving Throw Fortitude partial; Spell Resistance yes

Necrotic energy permeates the target, blocking healing abilities. The subject gains spell resistance equal to 12 + your caster level against effects that restore hit points or grant temporary hit points. In addition, any healing provided by effects that ignore spell resistance (such as fast healing, regeneration, and some spells) are halved. If the target succeeds on a Fortitude saving throw, fester lasts only a single round.

School conjuration (healing); Level bard 1, cleric 1, druid 1, paladin 1, ranger 2

Casting Time 1 standard action

Components V, S

Range touch

Target creature touched

Duration instantaneous

Saving Throw Will half (harmless); see text; Spell Resistance yes (harmless); see text

When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel positive energy that cures 1d8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +5). Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds. An undead creature can apply spell resistance, and can attempt a Will save to take half damage.
