[3.5] Empathic Feedback + Share Pain

[Keld Denar]

If I Share Pain with my psicrystal, who also shares my Empathic Feedback, will my foe take double my Empathic Feeback amount?

Say that I manifest Empathic Feedback for 10 PP and share it with my psicrystal. I also manifest Share Pain on the poor pet rock.

Now, I get hit for 20 points of damage. I take 10, the rock takes 10. My foe takes 10 from MY Empathic Feedback, but would it also take 10 damage from my psicrystal's Empathic Feedback? Also, my pet rock has Hardness 8, so it SHOULD subtract 8 HP from the damage Empathic Feedback deals, so actually, it would take 2 and Empathic Feedback 2 HP to my foe?

Short answer, no.

Longer answer, empathic feedback is based on damage dealt through a melee attack. Because the attacker is not striking your psicrystal at all, empathic feedback has no effect for any damage transferred to your psicrystal.

(From SRD)

"Each time a creature strikes you in melee, it takes damage equal to the amount it dealt to you or 5 points, whichever is less." Emphasis mine.
