[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 7140658, member: 6787650"] It really doesn't matter--the bulk of the healing a Necromancer is getting is from Grim Harvest, not Vampiric Touch's healing effect. Theoretically you could gain even more HP with Evard's Black Tentacles (8 HP per chicken killed, but it doesn't take your action so you could potentially gain hundreds of HP per round, especially if you had an accomplice releasing fresh chickens into your Black Tentacles every round) but that's just a theoretical exercise. And actually, even the Grim Harvest trick hasn't turned out to be that useful in practice, IME, since Necromancers tend not to lose that many HP in the first place, and there are more efficient ways of healing anyway with less logistical hassle than carting around chickens. (Don't get me wrong, I love chickens and they are hilarious--but Extended Aura of Vitality (1) heals more HP for less cost, (2) can be spread around multiple party members, (3) doesn't consume chickens.) Vampiric Grim Harvest is mostly only useful in solo scenarios, not party play. [/QUOTE]
