Dhampir chill touch

[Samir Sardinha]

I don't remember if anyone already asked this, but does a Dhampir get healed by Chill Touch?

You have the negative healing ability, which means you are harmed by positive damage and healed by negative effects as if you were undead.

Living Creature The spell deals negative damage equal to 1d4 plus your spellcasting modifier.

Effects with this trait heal undead creatures with negative energy, deal negative damage to living creatures, or manipulate negative energy

He is not an undead, but has negative healing.
Negative damage is a negative effect and the negative trait says that things with this trait heal undead with negative energy and deal damage with positive damage, like the description from negative healing.

When PF1 launched the negative affinity we had the same "problem" until they made a FAQ/Errata that defined that for all effects that distinguish a living from undead they are treated as undead.

It doesn't.

Positive and negative are damage type.

The spell or effect needs to have the healing trait in order to work ( or specify it, like for harm spells or touch of corruption).

You can't heal with the anti paladin reaction, can't get a permanent health regen with necrotic radiation and so on.

To add, this is a switch from PF1 where the exceptions went the other direction, i.e. negative energy healed undead unless stated otherwise.

So in PF2 instead of thinking of such effects as negative energy first and then figuring out what happens, it might be better to think of them as damage first, which happens to be negative which Dhampir & undead are immune to. If there's an "instead heals undead" notification, then and only then does the effect change.

Which is to say, being a Dhampir or undead target does not alter the effects on their own any more, but rather only if the effect says so. Though they may be immune too. So a positive healing effect does not harm either one of them unless the effect says it becomes a damaging effect (and sometimes this is only triggered by them being undead not merely having Negative Healing, an odd asymmetry which makes Dhampir more party-friendly that's provoked discussion).
