Ways to be healed as an undead?


Advice


I'm playing in a group with an evil undead lord cleric, and there are times, in the heat of combat, when it would be advantageous to be treated as undead in terms of healing. I know about his death's kiss ability, I know about the feat Necromantic Affinity, and I know that a couple of races can be healed as undead. I'm wondering if there are any other ways, especially items, that would allow me to be treated as an undead when it comes to the cleric.


A 1 level dip in Blackblooded Oracle or an Oracle with the Bones Mystery (you can then select the appropriate Revelation for Neg Energy Affinity).


The set of undead anatomy spells comes to mind.
Unfortunately, these aren't exactly on your class spell list...


Well, you could always get yourself killed and have him animate you as an intelligent undead.

That's the eventual goal, but getting there has sometimes been a bit tough. That's why I much more interested in an item, instead of feat choices or class choices.


This wasn't an item, and I'm not sure it would help you, but...

spoiler for The Asylum Stone:
There is one point where the PCs could be stricken with "Curse of the Living Death". Affected creatures' skin becomes pale, gangrenous, and foul-smelling (giving a -6 penalty on all Charisma-based skill checks opposed by or made against living creatures), and makes the affected creature react to positive and negative energy as if it were undead (positive energy harms; negative energy heals.) The curse is bestowed by interfering in the functioning of an artifact.

If this isn't for PFS play, you might talk to your GM about tracking down something that could affect you in this way.

Channeling Negative Energy will heal Undead (per the Channel Energy ability under the Cleric description). Prior to Pathfinder you could use Cause (*) spells instead of Cure (*). The Cure Light Wounds descriptor in the Core does talk about Positive Energy doing damage to undead, however doesn't discuss it in the reverse. If I was to make a ruling however I would say that the Cause whatever Wounds would repair dmg to undead due to what positive energy does to them, and to what is being said about channeling negative energy in a burst.


The Asylum Stone looks good, I'll have to check out if something like that will work. I also say the Rod of the Wayang (which makes me giggle) would be something in a pinch that might work, but it's only once a day.


So to bump and recap, we've got
Races: Wayang and Dhamphir
Class: Oracle of bones or blackblood
Feats: Necromantic Affinity
Items: Rod of the Wayang (still makes me giggle)
Curse: Curse of the Living Dead

Anybody think of anything else?


There isn't an item that's not a scroll or wand that allows you to cast Undead Anatomy on yourself is there?
