[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 508371, member: 111"] From the Glossary: "Death: A spell domain composed of nine divine spells and a granted power themed around the concept of death. Also a spell descriptor denoting spells and effects that slay living creatures. Creatures slain by a [b]death effect[/b] cannot be raised by raise dead. Either resurrection or true resurrection is required to revivify such a corpse. See also dead." It would appear that a "death effect" is a [b][i]technical term[/i][/b][i][/i] for being killed by a spell with a "death" descriptor. While PK has a "fear" descriptor (which right away tells you the best defense is to be immune to fear effects, not death effects), it does not have a "death" descriptor. It seems that Death Ward is intended to protect you from getting killed by a method that would prevent you from being raised. End of story. [/QUOTE]
