Question on Tomb-Tainted Soul Feat?? [Archive] - Wizards Community

04-05-07, 02:54 PM In the Libris Mortis book there is a feat that says that you are healed by negative energy and harmed by positive energy as if you are an undead. Does this feat make you act like a undead to all negative energy effects, such a enervation spell? I could type the feat but that might get me in trouble.

04-05-07, 03:29 PM Realistically speaking, it would. Strictly by the rules, it'd depend on the exact wording of the feat and every spell and effect involved.

04-05-07, 03:41 PM No, the feat only mentions that your healing is reversed like an Undead.

04-05-07, 06:24 PM Take Font of Life (Heroes of Horror and probably LM, too) for protection from negative levels. TTS doesn't do it alone.

Unfortunately, D&D is like the bully on the playground who's 7 years old and shaves, and common sense is the quiet kid with the taped glasses and the pocket protector (ironically, common sense probably plays D&D in this analogy). Let's just say they don't get along too well.

Get Tomb Tainted, then cast Spark of Life upon yourself. Receive hit points from both Positive and Negative Energy = Profit
IonizedChicken
04-07-07, 07:55 AM 1) get Tomb Tainted Soul
2) Cast Spark of Life
3) ???
4) Profit.

You aren't supposed to say what the '???' is. That's like a criminal offense, man.

Anyway, Tomb-Tainted works only for negative energy damage, not negative levels and the like. And yes, I also fail to see how common sense factors in here. It's a feat. It only has meaning in the rules of the game, not in the game itself.
