09-26-07, 06:58 PM If a warforged took "Tomb-tainted soul" from libris mortis which grants, "negative energy inflict spells will heal instead of harm you". Will that overwrite the warforged's usual 1/2 heal from spells and give him the full heal from a cleric casting "inflict wounds"?

09-26-07, 08:28 PM No, it just allows the negative energy effect to heal. it doesn't change the Warforged's trait of healing 1/2.

By the RAW, yes.

However, I think it makes perfect sense for a warforged healed by negative energy to suffer the same penalties as a warforged healed by positive energy, so I'd override the RAW in this case.

09-26-07, 10:57 PM By a RAW reading, not only would a Warforged with the Tomb-tainted Soul feat get 100% of the healing effect of inflicts-as-cures, they would also take only half damage from cures-as-inflicts.

But, as usual, the answer is: whatever your DM says it is.

09-26-07, 11:33 PM I'd go with no. Tomb Tainted Soul just changes the natural order of thing but should change the nature of things.

I recall a similiar thread asking about a Construct with TTS. To that the answer should be that TTS reverses the role of heal/inflict but because constructs are immune to both they'd get no benefit.
