Empathic Transfer, Hostile

First Post
Alright I want to know what my limits to using this power. Can I go to a dead creature and use this? I already assume I can do this on an unconscious creature. Can I touch a tree?

It doesn't say anything about the creature being alive or I can only exchange as much as a creature has HP above 0. Maybe I can wear a tiny dead creature as a necklace to take my damage.

Please someone draw the lines on what I can and cannot do with this power.

Empathic Transfer, Hostile
Telepathy [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Telepath 3, psychic warrior 3
Display: Auditory and material
Manifesting Time: 1 standard
action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will half
Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 5
You transfer your hurt to another.
When you manifest this power and
then make a successful touch attack,
you can transfer 50 points of damage
(or less, if you choose) from yourself
to the touched creature. You immediately
regain hit points equal to
the amount of damage you transfer.
You cannot use this power to gain
hit points in excess of your full normal
total. The transferred damage is
empathic in nature, so powers and
abilities the subject may have such as
damage reduction and regeneration
do not lessen or change this damage.
The damage transferred by this power
has no type, so even if the subject has
immunity to the type of damage you
originally took, the transfer occurs
normally and deals hit point damage
to the subject.
Augment: You can augment this
power in one or both of the following
ways.
1. For every additional power point
you spend, you can transfer an additional
10 points of damage (maximum
90 points per manifestation).
2. If you spend 6 additional power
points, this power affects all creatures
in a 20-foot-radius spread centered
on you.

Why would you want to do it to a tree? It goes from an offensive healing spell to just a regular healing spell. I certainly wouldn't waste a standard action to unleash my wounds upon a tree, nor would I waste my wounds if I had such a power.

As a DM, I'd probably allow it, but if you were carrying around a dead animal and repeatedly mutilating it for your own benefit, you'd BETTER be of an evil alignment. That just seems to go beyond the realm of chaotic neutral with evil tendancies. Though I'd rule that the body is destroyed after it reaches -10-(full hit points).
 

I plan on wrecking things with this power quite often because it bypasses a lot. I first looked at this power as out weighing body adjustment in terms of being able to heal myself and wanted to know what was possible with this power.
