I am not sure how well I remember the video.
Did he use a normal spell/potion for healing?

In 5E, are undead still damaged by healing and healed by negative energy ( now called necrotic, I guess)?


I do not know how are they going to manage it in BG3, but in D&D5e necrotic damage also damages undead, constructs,... basically almost everything (for reasons unknown) so if you cannot use "inflict wounds" "harm" or "chill touch" to heal undead beings as in previous versions, pathfinder, etc...

Necrotic damage not only harms, but also the target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. It´s crazy IMHO.

To heal undead, I assume spells like regenerate, hero's feast and goodberries, and XGTA "Negative energy flood" would do the trick; and the usual vampiric touch, etc as always, maybe?

I have to re-check the gameplay, but the vampire spawn does not seem to have problems to heal himself the usual way.

PD: And yeah, undead or dhampir does not exist in DND as a playable race.


Yeah. Undead characters no longer need negative energy to heal. They can be healed via the same heal spells and potions as anyone else, in 5E.
