Evil characters using Negative Energy to heal


Advice

Liberty's Edge

I've got a group that wants to play in an evil campaign. One of the players wants to play a dhamphir so they were looking into his Negative Energy Affinity and how it would hamper their healing. So I decided to see if any other classes/races can also use negative energy to heal. I've come up with a small list:

1. Black Blood Oracle - All black-blooded oracles effectively share the same curse—the curse of black blood. The material affects these oracles physically and mentally, altering both physiology and mystic powers. The blood of a black-blooded oracle actually runs black, and wounds she suffers are infected by her own power and are difficult to heal. She is immune to the effects (both beneficial and destructive) of black blood. Positive and negative energy affect a black-blooded oracle as if she were undead—positive energy harms her, while negative energy heals her (this aspect of the curse has no effect if the oracle is undead). The curse also dulls the oracle’s coordination somewhat, imparting a –4 penalty on all Dexterity-based skill checks. At 5th level, she gains cold resistance 5. This increases to cold resistance 10 at 10th level, and immunity to cold at 15th level.

2. Undead sub-Domain - Death’s Kiss (Su): You can cause a creature to take on some of the traits of the undead with a melee touch attack. Touched creatures are treated as undead for the purposes of effects that heal or cause damage based on positive and negative energy. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum 1). It does not apply to the Turn Undead or Command Undead feats. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

3. Race - Wayangs racial trait - Light and Dark (Su): Once per day as an immediate action, a wayang can treat positive and negative energy effects as if she were an undead creature, taking damage from positive energy and healing damage from negative energy. This ability lasts for 1 minute once activated.

Is there anything else that I am missing?

Edit - Found another one, but would have to roll it or I would have to just let the player pick it

4. Variant Tiefling ability - You are healed by both positive and negative channeled energy.

I think you've got it for PF. 3.5 had a feat in LM to switch to negative energy healing IIRC. That'd be the simplest solution (if you don't mind reaching back to 3.5 for it).

Thanks, but I don't want to dip into 3.5. I did find one other, a Fiendish Vessel Cleric [has to be Tiefling] doesn't channel negative energy, but channels evil. So they can heal evil characters and disable good characters.


I'm running an evil campaign and it has a FV CLeric. He's been the biggest thorn in my side lol
