A delicious scent wafts through the air as your touch steals a small portion of the life essence of another creature.

On a successful touch attack, you deal 1d6 points of damage to the target creature and gain temporary hit points equal to the amount of damage dealt. The target can attempt a Fortitude save to take half damage and negate your hit point gain. The temporary hit points last for up to 10 minutes.

Augment: For every 2 additional power points you spend, the power deals an additional 1d6 points of damage, and the power’s save DC increases by 1.
