Effect: By means of this spell,the caster or any other creature whose levels of experience/hit dice do not exceed the magic-user's own level can be put into a cataleptic state which is impossible to distinguish from actual death. <note the use of the word of the term person above>

Although the person/creature affected by the feign death spell can smell, hear, and know what is going on,
no feeling or sight of any sort is possible;
thus, any wounding or mistreatment of the body will not be felt and no reaction will occur and
damage will be only one-half normal.
In addition, paralysis, poison, or energy level drain will not affect the individual creature under the influence of this spell,
but poison injected or otherwise introduced into the body will become effective when
the spell recipient is no longer under the influence of this spell,
although a saving throw is permitted.
Note that only a willing individual can be affected by feign death.
The spell caster is able to end the spell effects at any time desired,
but it requires 1 full round for bodily functions to begin again.

Effect.Cleric: Note that a character of any level may be affected by the cleric casting this spell,

DMG: The recipient of this dweomer consumes air at 1/100th of the normal rate.
Any poison within the system of the spell recipient is effectively slowed so as to cause no harm whatsoever for the duration of
the spell.

MC.Cleric: and that the material components are a pinch of graveyard dirt and the cleric‘s holy/unholy symbol.

MC.Druid: A piece of dead oak leaf (in addition to mistletoe, of course).
 

Wu Jen: Using this spell, the caster or any other creature whose levels of experience or HD do not exceed the wu jen's level may be placed in a state resembling death.
While in this state the affected creature may perceive its surroundings, and may return to a normal state in a single round.
While in this deathlike state sight or feeling are not possible, so any damage is one-half normal and paralysis, poison, and level drain are not effective during the spell.
 

WSG: For a character or creature subjected to this spell,
the effects of exposure (frostbite, heatstroke, etc.) accumulate
only half as quickly as under normal circumstances. Thus, if a
character knows that help is on the way and will arrive fairly soon,
he may help to save his life or the life of another being by using
feign death to partially protect the victim.
