Hey, everyone. I was wondering about something... when you're hit by a Rogue's Arterial Strike (give up 1d6 Sneak Attack, and in exchange the target takes 1 point of damage every round until they receive magical healing or a heal check), what type of damage is it? Is it the same type of damage as the attack itself, or is it a totally different type of damage altogether (one that only exists for this purpose)? For example, let's say you are a Sorcerer/Rogue with this feat. You cast Invisibility on yourself, and then hit your (flat-footed) opponent with a Melf's Acid Arrow. It would thus be considered a sneak attack, with the extra sneak attack damage being Acid damage. However, let's say you choose to use your Arterial Strike feat as well. So you give up 1d6 of your (acidic) sneak attack, and you hit your opponent. Is the wounding damage now Acid? Or if you hit your opponent with a Vampiric Touch spell while sneak attacking, your extra damage would be Negative Energy damage. But would the Arterial Strike damage be Negative Energy as well? If someone cast Death Ward on you after taking such a wound, it would make you immune to negative energy effects- so would the wounding keep going, or would it be considered negative energy, and thus stopped?
