Negative energy based character


Advice

Sovereign Court

So, I'm looking into ways to play a character based on negative energy healing.

Like an antipaladin that gets to heal himself with Touch of Corruption. Or a cleric/oracle that's focused on burning enemies with inflict spells/channel energy and nasty necromancies, while being able to heal himself with said spells.

I know the cleric gets this option at 8th level with Death domain, and the oracle (Bone) gets the same thing via Resist Life, however I want this much sooner (1st level preferably).
I must say don't prefer going the oracle option, I find it pretty lackluster (Life gets to use channel to heal, Bones can't harm living creatures).

The wording on 'Necromantic Affinity' feat suggests it only works on Inflict spells -only-, so channel and touch are out.

Playing a dhampir is out of the question.

Are there any options I haven't explored yet?


A black-blooded oracle is healed by negative energy from level 1 and has no alignment restriction, as I recall.

For 1,000 gp, an anatomy doll with your own blood will let you deal 1 point of negative energy damage, which will heal you, to yourself, plus 1 point per die of sneak attack, at the cost of a standard action. You will have to purposely fail your Will save, though.
