Pros of Lightning RescueThe main advantage it has over Death Ward is the added teleport.I don't think the time delay is a big deal, and can only think of a few edge cases where coming back any later than right now would be useful.Pros of Death WardIt has a range of touch, plus no concentration of "if you cast it again the first one goes away" clause, so you if you have the slots you can protect the whole party.It protects against death effects.Pros Hard to JudgeThe Lighting Rescue's reaction vs Death Ward's "any time in the next eight hours" is tricky to judge. Reaction is nice because you don't use the slot unless you need it (i.e. don't have to worry about somebody killing you 9 hours after death ward). Also no worry about it being dispelled, though I think that's rare.One the other hand with Death Ward the benefit even if you've used your reaction or you have a condition that prevents reactions.</blockquote>
