[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7190357, member: 284"] Where does it specifically mention Positive or Negative Energy in the 5e rules? And there are very few alignment based spells or abilities in 5e. For example, the Protection from Evil and Good spell affects creature types, not alignment. Paladin's have a "Divine Sense" that detects specific types of creatures - not alignments. As for undead not being harmed by healing spells - read any of the Cure Wounds or Healing Word spells - they specifically state they have no effect on Undead or Constructs. The Inflict Wound spell now simply does necrotic damage - no language about it healing undead. And the Harm spell is now a ranged spell that causes a disease that inflicts necrotic damage. Nothing about healing undead. There are no universal traits or atttributes that key off a monster's type now - they are all spelled out in each creatures stat block. So being "Undead" doesn't grant any specific abilities or immunities not mentioned in their stat block. (Spell or powers may have specific effects vs undead, but that will be specified in the spell or ability). For example - most undead are Immune to poison (it's in their stat block), but it's not a universal trait that all Undead have. Specifically - Vampires are not immune to poison. [/QUOTE]
