[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 231257, member: 545"] No, I am not really sure. I am pretty sure. Prot. vs Evil gives a resistance bonus against "any attacks made by evil creatures". Once the damage is dealt out and you are attempting to recover the next day, one can argue that there is no "evil source" that you are making your save against. I do not think this line of argument is correct because the DC of the saving throw is directly tied to the original source of the negative levels. From the SRD: "Negative levels remain for 24 hours or until removed with a spell. After 24 hours, the afflicted character must attempt a Fortitude save. The DC is 10 + one-half the attacker's Hit Dice + the attacker's Charisma modifier." I would argue that if the spectre's Cha and level directly affect whether I lose a level permenantly, then the source is still the spectre even if the saving throw occurs the next day. I do think that the DM should be careful about very short-lived boosters spells and PC using stopwatches to mark out 23 hours and 59 minutes. OTOH I think negative levels (and poison) can be entertaining motivators to get a PC scrambling for assistance. [/QUOTE]
