Is psionic healing considered positive energy?


Advice and Rules Questions


I have a vitalist joining the party and one of the existing members is a damphir. Does psionic healing have an energy type and so will harm undead and such, or is it untyped?


They do not say they harm undead(at least none of the powers that heal that I've checked real quick don't) so I'd say untyped. For that matter, if used to heal others via the Collective I'd be inclined to say even a cure light wounds cast on the vitalist wouldn't hurt the undead. I have nothing to support that at the moment though.


That's what I thought but wanted confirmation.

(Note: This isn't an official DSP answer)

Generally speaking, psionic healing draws on the creature's inherent resources, whatever they may be, and accelerates them to achieve healing. So, powers like body adjustment and natural healing are generally not positive energy effects and would not damage a dhampir.
