[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 3599236, member: 8439"] It comes down, imo, to damage dealt vs damage taken and which is split... The spell could split the fireball damage dealt to the kitten, with the ghaele "sheilding" it from taking 30 points of it. The other 30 points are then dealt to the kitten but absorbed by the fire resistance. OR the spell could split the damage taken by the kitten which would be the 30 points of fireball not absorbed by its resistance. But then as your second question gets to, we have to figure out if any target actually takes more damage than what is needed to reduce it to -10 hp. ( I think in the original example the kitten had 2 hp btw, and the 12 was what reduced it to -10) The spell uses language that could be taken either ways - both talking about transfering wounds, and splitting damage. My inclination would be to split damage after applying any applicable resistances, DR, and other reductions - split the damage taken not the damage dealt. I also agree that the death of the sheilded subject ends the spell, so the maximum transfered is the amount that reduced the subject to -10, but I could be convinced otherwise... [/QUOTE]
