Bombardment harms summon

Tried the new bombardment. Harms summon, possibly companion. It also harms the caster. From what I saw, it might also still harm party members.

Can confirm. Harms party members.

Also, healing sting is broken. Does 40-50 damage and gives all damage as temp hp if spell kills, not just remainder, with a seemingly endless ceiling on temp hp.

Recent Characters:
Aramis - "S'fine piece of art yer havin' there." (Shelved)
Eradyn - Trying to make the world a better place. (Shelved)
[Redacted] - ? (?)
Skek - Happiness in Endless Industry. (Rolled)

Healing Sting has Already been fixed. Also just to clarify about Healing Sting as it feels you might have misunderstood how the spell works: If you kill something with Healing Sting it will heal you for the amount of damage dealt first; if the HP healed exceeds your maximum HP you get Temporary Hit Points. So if you are att full HP already and killing something with Healing Sting all that damage would become Temporary HP.

Looking at Bombardment now, nothing really changed on that spell other than adding a Reflex save for KD but you know bugs are usually like this.

EDIT: I assume too much. I thought Bombardment was party-friendly by default. Fixed now, next reset.

The update says "excessive" damage is given as temp hp, where I am getting all damage. Monster has 40hp, i hit them with 41, I get 41temp hp, not 1hp as the update implies. Where the confusion came from.

As for the damage, it seems higher than what was claimed could be possible. Haven't tried it today, so might be fixed.

AH I changed the descriptio to this now, should make more sense (Changed damage to healing):

"If healing goes beyond Maximum HP of Caster and the target dies from the damage, all excessive healing is applied as Temporary HP for 1 Hour / 2 Caster Levels. Saving Throw Removed from this spell."
