I think False Life is a different matter, since it is indeed a necromantic spell, but not one using negative energy. In fact, the only spells that use negative energy (and thus are negated by Death Ward) are, according to their description:Chill TouchCurse WaterDesecrateEnervation, Energy DrainGhoul TouchHarmInflict WoundsTouch of FatigueWaves of ExhaustionWaves of Fatigue.So the necromantic spells Ray of Enfeeblement, Ray of Exhaustion, Vampiric Touch, Horrid Wilting and others are not subject to Death Ward. Perhaps the designers thought DW protecting against a whole spell school plus an entire creature type would be overpowered... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
