Sylphs... storm in the blood, jolt and energy resistance

[Hayato Ken]

Can a sylph that has jolt as 0 level spell heal herself with the storm in the blood racial trait?

Storm in the blood wrote:

A Sylph with this racial trait gains fast healing 2 for 1 round anytime she takes electricity damage (whether or not this electricity damage gets through her electricity resistance). The Sylph can heal up to 2 hit points per level per day with this ability, after which it ceases to function. This racial trait replaces air affinity.

Jolt does 1d3 electric damage, sylphs have elecricity resistance 5.

I really see no reason why it wouldn't work this way, its certainly very interesting to think about and a handy way to heal yourself. I doubt it was intended to work that way but I'd agree with your assesment.

I'll be excited to hear more about this thread, I hope we get some more feedback.

Well, it says it happens regardless of whether it gets through resistance, so yes. Although, they can only get 2 hp per level per day, so it's not going to give a whole lot back.

I see no problem with that either; it says "whether or not <the damage> gets through her resistance". Since the trait also has a limited effect (maximum 2 hit points per level per day, and only last 1 round per use), it wouldn't be problematic balance-wise either (even at 20th level, the sylph will only be able to heal 40 hit points per day).

When I saw Oread equivalent of that ability for the first time I thought exactly that it was created with acid splash in mind so I so no problem with Sylph version working with jolt and I think that it was intended to work that way.

It'd be nice at low levels though, say as a wizard, I mean two hp this combo is recovering 33% of your health in one round.

A 1st-level wizard can only use this to gain 2 hp per day, so while it's nice, it's not problematic :)
