[PF] Healing Outsiders

[Gorfnod]

Trying to get my head wrapped around exactly what positive energy can and can't do here and just confusing myself so I think a couple questions will be the best way to get this figured out.

1. Can positive energy be used to cure native subtype outsiders?

2. Can positive energy be used to cure elemental subtype outsiders?

3. If positvie energy can be used to cure elementals, then what is the point of the Elemental Channel feats?

1) Yes. They are living creatures.

2) Yes. They are living creatures.

3) Elemental Channel is a way to target only that subtype of creature (whether for healing or blasting) without hitting the rest of the party. For healing this isn't terribly useful (since the party is unlikely to be comprised of elementals), but for negative energy this is a way of blasting elemental enemies without needing Selective Channeling, or needing a high enough Cha score to exclude everyone.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was getting caught up on the whole "living creature" aspect.
