So, my phantom got his ass kicked yesterday. And I have some questions.

1. There was a fight with a dread wraith in which he ate some Con drain. I know if he dies and returns a day later, he comes back with half his HP. Does that do anything to ability drain?

2. Later, he became ectoplasmic and fought a giant spider. Due to the con drain, he was poisoned. What happens to the poison if I recall him? Does it still run normally? Does it suspend in time and start from the same place if I later manifest him again? Can I immediate action recall him after the bite hits but before the poison inflicts? If I kill him (because healing half his HP is cheaper than healing 20 dex damage) will he be poisoned when he returns?

The rules are vague at best, but the presence of Purified Calling (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/p/purified-calling/) suggests Eidolons retain that stuff while dead, so I would assume Phantoms get the same treatment.

Thank you Psyren. I don't like it but I agree that's what it looks like. At least my DM will probably let me make an equivalent spell. I never would have found that.
