Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hypersmurf" data-source="post: 3354090" data-attributes="member: 1656">Ray of Enfeeblement isn't a weaponlike spell - in fact, it's the example used of 'not a weaponlike spell' in Complete Arcane.Remember, as well as requiring an attack roll, the spell must deal damage, and Ray of Enfeeblement doesn't.  It inflicts an ability penalty, which is neither damage nor drain.As for the scenario I suspect you were proposing - managing to actually deal negative energy damage to an undead creature via a sneak attack, which would require something along the lines of Gravestrike to achieve in the first place - it's unclear what the result would be.  After all, Disrupt Undead channels positive energy, but doesn't heal living creatures; it's not guaranteed that negative energy damage will automatically heal undead unless it's stated in the effect description.(Actually, I misstated when I said 'like Inflict Light Wounds' earlier - upon checking, it appears that ILW channels negative energy in order to deal untyped damage, not negative energy damage.)-Hyp.</blockquote>
