What ways of forcing others to take some of your damage can you think off?

In particular I am looking at effects like Forced Share Pain (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/psionics-unleashed/psionic-powers/s/share-pain/)

Shared Pain is just a psionic rewrite of Shield Other (https://aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=shield%20other) for a 3rd party publisher.

As far as FORCING them to share your pain, Unwilling Shield (https://aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Unwilling%20Shield) is a spell that does that.

Shadow Splinter, a mesmerist trick.

Lifelink, an oracle revelation.

Bleed / Die For Your Master spells.

Shared pain is following the update of 3.5 to pathfinder. Unwilling shield, which I wasn't aware of thank you, is a pathfinder spell rewrite of forced share pain. For what is worth that spell didn't exist in 3.5 as far as I am aware although binding Dahlver-Nar would give you that ability.

There is no problem with (most) 3pp suggestions, specially if they replicate something from 3.5 or are widely used such as spheres or legendary stuff.

Shadow splinter works, thanks.

The others don't really do what I want, I want to send damage that I would take to an enemy, lifelink is sending party members damage to self and bleed / die for your master is sending damage to a companion.

Shared pain is following the update of 3.5 to pathfinder. By a 3rd party publisher. I only mentioned it as the Pathfinder tag was used and no mention of 3rd party materials being allowed was present in the original post. Many people who use 20pfsrd aren't always aware of the source of the material they are accessing.

Since we were linking 3rd party stuff anyway, the Life Leech (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/psionics-unleashed/classes/vitalist/archetypes/dreamscarred-press/life-leech/) archetype for the Vitalist class is built around doing this. You had unwilling people to your Collective via Unwilling Participant and siphon off their HP to heal others, as well as redirect damage to them to save your own allies.

Said class also has access to the "Forced Share Pain" Psionic Power in your OP, as they are form the same source.
