The relevant rules text for healing of nonlethal damage from the CRB definition of non lethal damage, as regeneration is an Extraordinary ability that cures hitpoint damage it removes an equal amount of non lethal damage

"Healing Nonlethal Damage: You heal nonlethal damage at the rate of 1 hit point per hour per character level. When a spell or ability cures hit point damage, it also removes an equal amount of nonlethal damage."

I get how healing nonlethal damage works in general, but considering regeneration specifically states it does not heal "Attack forms that don’t deal hit point damage are not healed by regeneration" then would that not include nonlethal damage? Or is nonlethal damage still considered hit point damage?

I am having somewhat of a silly debate with a fellow player/DM about regeneration and nonlethal damage. My opinion is that nonlethal damage is not hit point damage since it is not subtracted from the current hit points.

Regeneration says: "Attack forms that don’t deal hit point damage are not healed by regeneration"

Nonlethal damage says: Do not deduct the nonlethal damage number from your current hit points.

So would something with regeneration heal nonlethal damage?

And probably more importantly is nonlethal damage considered hit point damage?

Its odd that the way to get a save would be to expect a person to reach out and touch this complete stranger.

So if thats the case with disguise self, would the same be with case be the same with something like Major image? They would have to touch it to get a save? Or would talking be interacting with an image?

So i have scoured the internet in hopes of finding an answer to these question, but all I can find is people almost answering the questions but not quite.

First - Using disguise self to make yourself look like someone else, any random guy is fine, and talking to someone when do they get a saving throw? If ever. They are just talking. No touching, no felling, just conversation back and forth. The person does not know the person that the image appears to be, two total strangers talking to each other.

Is talking considered interaction? If talking is interaction does he just get one save for talking as an interaction and then if he fails that one he gets no more saves? Or does he get a save every round or in some sort of time frame as he is continuing to interact with it by talking?
