Looking through everything, it appears as though there isn't a Spell or Weapon that allows you to deal damage to an opponent and then gain that much damage back as HP.
Is this something that's wanted from future Paizo releases or something that should only be made as homebrew material by a GM?
It'd be a hugely effective weapon and to not make it a broken ability, it could either be a +4 bonus on a weapon or a level 8 or 9 Spell.
I'm just surprised it seems there's nothing like it, that's all.
Would it be viable to create/have a Vampiric Touch weapon?
For each new subject you attack with it, you lose your previous temporary HP and gain a new temporary number of hit points (for better or worse).
That way, it doesn't stack and remains balanced.

It would have to be a set amount, like 5HP or your con modifier, to be balanced. If you really want it, you can always make an intelligent spell-storing weapon with at-will vampiric touch.
Hey again Riuken. :)
How would you go about that if you were a player and not a GM?
I don't really know the rules of creating your own intelligent weapons in game, or what your character would have to do to be able to do this.
I like Clerics who have their own intentions and motives and like Magi, but am primarily a melee based fighter type, so haven't ever tried to make my own intelligent weapons.
I'm assuming you'd nee to have access to the Necromancer Spell List for any GM to allow you to do such a thing, using Vampiric Touch.
Would be cool though. Gain your Caster Level worth of life back with every attack.
Edit: Or gain HP back with every attack equal to the Caster Level you were when you made the Intelligent Weapon.
