This power attempts to create a forced psychometabolic connection between you and an unwilling subject (for a short time) so that some of your wounds are transferred to that subject on a failed Fortitude save. You take half damage from all attacks that deal hit point damage to you, and the subject takes the remainder. The amount of damage not taken by you is taken by the subject. If your hit points are reduced by a lowered Constitution score, that reduction is not shared with the subject because it is not a form of hit point damage. If you are immune to the type of damage dealt, or if you convert lethal damage into nonlethal damage, the target takes no damage. When this power ends, subsequent damage is no longer divided between the subject and you, but damage already shared is not reassigned.
If you and the subject move farther away from each other than close range, the power ends.
Augment: For every 2 additional power points you spend, this power’s save DC increases by 1.
