[PF] Questions on Dhampir

[Jack Warlow]

Dhampir have:

Negative Energy Affinity: Dhampires are alive, but reacts to positive and negative energy as if it were undead—positive energy harms it, negative energy heals it.

If this is the case would channeling positive energy on living creatures in an area hurt the Dhampir?

Also if this ability from the carrion crown adventure path is used on a Dhampir:

Blood Siphoning (Su)

The Incorporeal touch attacks deal negative energy damage, but the wounds thus created manifest as deep, bloody cuts, as if dealt by a razor-sharp hatchet. These wounds cause 1d6 bleed—any damage caused by this bleed effect heals the Lopper of an equal amount of damage as the blood running from the wound turns to smoke and drifts over to the Lopper’s body to merge with his form, provided that the bleeding victim is within 30 feet of the Lopper. Hit points gained in excess of his maximum are lost.

Would the bleed still be able to happen, since it would be caused by inflicting a wound with negative energy?

[Jeraa]

Channeling energy causes a burst that affects all creatures of one type (either undead or living) in a 30-foot radius centered on the cleric.

You must choose to target either living or undead creatures. You can't get both with a single channel.

As for the bleed effect, I would say the dhampir is immune to it. It can't be harmed by negative energy, but the bleed effect results from the wounds caused. There would be no wounds caused on a dhampir.

What about Sacred Purification from the PHBII? Channels divine energy to heal all living and hurt all undead in 60ft and hurt all undead. It seems that RAW it would still heal Dhampirs.

[Jack Warlow]

Well from how I understood it. Dhampir are living. But take damage from positive energy. And are healed by negative energy.

[The Random NPC]

That's the thing, it isn't technically positive or negative energy, it is simply divine.

Correction, the Dhampir would be healed by it, as it is Negative Energy.
As for if/how the attacker still heals *shrug*

This is a Pathfinder thread, note the "PF" in the title? Thus there is no PHBII.
But if you insist...
As long as it does not specify Positive or Negative, it would heal the Dhampir, as they are still Living beings.
IF it specified the type of energy, then it would react as an Undead would.

You know, I forgot that this was PF. However, PF is theoretically backwards compatible with 3.5. Thanks for the quick reply.
