Witch familiar delivering vampiric touch spell

Hi,

Deliver Touch Spells (Su): If a witch is 3rd level or higher, her familiar can deliver touch spells or hexes for her. If the witch and the familiar are in contact at the time the witch casts a touch spell, she can designate her familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the witch would. As usual, if the witch casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates. If the witch activates a hex, her familiar can be used to make the touch. She does not have to be in contact with the familiar to use this ability.

Suppose my witch casts vampiric touch and designates her compsognatus as the "toucher", as explained if the rules for familiars, quoted above. The compsognatus then moves towards one of her enemies, and succesfully delivers the spell.

Now, who gains the temporary hit points? My witch or her familiar?

I would rule the familiar. It has the effect/held charge.

I would agree with skylancer4, if you use a wand of vampiric touch, you get the temp hit points, not the original caster. I would say the familiar, being the one delivering the magic would get the temp hit points.

Agreed. The skull and shackles second book had something like this setup in an encounter.
