Bones Oracle and Life Channel

[Flames of Chaos]

So I've been playing a Bones Oracle now for several levels, and I took Resist Life around level 4. I just hit 6th level and have a 2nd level or lower spell I can take thanks to my favored class bonus. I want to take Life Channel as we have a cleric of Serenrae in the party who has had to rearrange her spell list significantly to make sure I can heal my oracle.

Can I use the Life Channel spell with "Resist Life"? The spell says:

"When cast on a creature with negative energy affinity, the target is able to convert channeled positive energy into temporary hit points. When subject to an effect that heals hit points only to living creatures (such as cure light wounds or channel positive energy), the target gains a number of temporary hit points equal to half the number of hit points that the positive energy would normally heal. These temporary hit points go away at the end of this spell’s duration.
"

Negative energy affinity:
"Negative Energy Affinity (Ex) The creature is alive but is healed by negative energy and harmed by positive energy, as if it were an undead creature. Format negative energy affinity; Location Defensive Abilities"

Resist Life says:

"Resist Life (Su): You are treated as an undead creature when you are targeted by positive or negative energy. You are not subject to Turn Undead or Command Undead (or any other effect that specifically targets undead), unless you are actually an undead creature. At 7th level, you receive channel resistance +2. This bonus increases by +2 at 11th and 15th level.
"

Any help with this would be very appreciated!

Since you originally posted this in the Pathfinder Society boards, I'm assuming this is a PFS character? If so, the answer is "it doesn't matter."

Life channel is only available to dhampirs in PFS (who already have negative energy affinity).

Outside of PFS it's up to your GM. I'd probably let it work on you. Both Negative Energy Affinity and Resist Life are just different ways of saying "you are treated as undead when targeted with positive or negative energy."

*SIGH*. Where does it list Life channel as a Dampir spell? Yes, this is a PFS character. Thanks!

Took a small amount of digging, but I found Life Channel under Dhamphir spells in the Advanced Race Guide on searching the PRD. For future reference (to help you do searches like this) I used Archives of Nethys to find the source material for the spell before going to the PRD on Paizo.com to look up the spell itself.
