Quirky Dhampir Synthesist Questions

['G']

When a Dhampir Synthesist is utilizing his fused eidolon for temporary hit points, does the eidolon suit react to positive energy in the same way that the Dhampir does, "as the two are now one creature". In other words does the suit take damage from positive energy due to the summoners negative energy affinity, or is the damper shielded from the effects of negative energy while fused with his eidolon.

"Negative Energy Affinity: Though a living creature, a dhampir reacts to positive and negative energy as if it were undead—positive energy harms it, while negative energy heals it." (ARG)

Please note that this is not a question of how the eidolon may be healed which was answered succinctly in the the FAQ page 80, but a question of whether the eidolon or temp hit points provided by the eidolon would be susceptable or resistant to this form of damage.

While we are at it lets ask another question, is the dhampir effected by his light sensitivity while fused with his eidolon since "the synthesist perceives through the eidolon's senses".

2. How does Negative Energy Affinity interact with Temporary Hitpoints?

I'd say they function the same as normal hitpoints. Negative energy will heal them up, positive will bring them down.

that 2 point, negative energy would not increase the temp hp, however, you would be able to transfer your own hp to refill the temp hp, and have your normal hp healed. So negative energy would treat you the same, yet that has no influence on the temps
