A person whose name is written in a death note is immune to all other death
notes. Are they immune to a bullet to the head or eating an arsenic cream pie,
too? If so, would they have a sort of "luck shield" that stops any potential
causes of death from making it impossible to fulfill the death note entry, or
would they just survive it?

Can you protect People with the Death Note by writing their name in it?


The death note cannot lengthen a person's life span by setting a date of death
for that person after their current date of death. In this case the person
would just die as they would if their name was not written. This is from "How
to Use LVII".

I was wrong on one account originially. If you write a person's name in the
death note and do not edit it for 6 minutes and 40 seconds (400 seconds as
that is how long you can edit it), then he is immune from other death notes.
This is due to "How to Use XV" which states that if the same name is in two
death notes, the first filled in will take effect. This can only protect for
23 days as the person will die by then anyways. It appears that this can be
circumvented by editing it every 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

You can, however, do the following. If you know Dusk is trying to kill Dawn,
you can write Dusk will "be killed by Dawn after failing to even scratch her
with his attacks". This means he must die of either a heart attack because the
cause of death could not happen (could not reasonably get to Dawn or Dawn
killing Dusk is impossible) or will be killed by Dawn with hurting her. In any
case you need Dusk's name and you are extending Dawn's life by killing Dusk
with the death note which humans (not Shinigami) can intentionally do.
