Deny Death (Priest Spell)

This spell places willing or senseless beings who have suffered injury within the previous turn into a sort of suspended animation. It does not work on hostile beings who are still conscious or who are under the effects of a magical or psionic charm or sleep effect. This suspended sleep prevents further loss of blood, vital fluids, and hit points and prevents foreign substances and poisons that are propelled through the body by the natural actions of breathing, blood pumping, or digestion from dispersing any further in the body. It can therefore serve to keep poisoned or sorely wounded beings alive for the spell duration
Deny death also protects its recipient against additional damage from nonmagical attacks or handling. This allows, for example, the caster to drag a sorely injured companion over rough ground without causing further harm. The caster can end the effect instantly at will regardless of how much distance separates him or her from the affected being. Recipients of deny death cannot rouse themselves, nor are they awakened by attacks upon them.
Notes: Granted by the god Kelemvor, Judge of the Damned, of the Forgotten Realms setting.
