To piggy-back on part 4 of the original question.....
Does the "nature" of the damage "transfer" to the Oracle? I'll use something that happened in our session tonight as an example. Our Shadowdancer was hit by a clay golem. Our oracle used life link in an attempt to heal our SD (with a DC 26 caster level check). Now, the question is when our oracle tries to heal himself, will he have to make another caster level check? Is life link only supposed heal damage with no further negative effects to taken on by the oracle, or do the negative effects apply to the oracle as well? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Not really interested in DM fiat, just RAW. Thanks! :)
