Cloning Potion "Share Hit Points" I'm not understanding that.

[pathMick]

Cloning Potion includes the line "You and your clone share Hit Points, and the clone uses your statistics.Spells and effects target you and your clone as if you are separate creatures."

Not sure I understand that. Does it mean you both share the same single pool of Hit Points OR does it mean it has the same number of Hit Points as you do? Because if it is the latter that is strangely worded. But shared HP pool, I'm not sure that is such a great potion strategically.

I'm pretty sure it means sharing Hit Points like a Summoner/Eidolon do. With the added drawback of being affected by AoE effects twice if both you and your clone are in the Area.

Another similar ability is Thaumaturge Mirror Implement that lets you create a copy of yourself where both you and your copy can be targeted by enemies and damaging either affects your one character's main HP pool.
