Since my polymorph meme has only garnered three downvotes so far I thought I'd offer a bit more controversial take, and see if I can manage to stir the pot a bit with this one.

Where is the extra HP coming from tho

Vampiric touch counts how much damage you deal, not how much hp the target loses.

It's definitely a flavor fail, but unless you houserule in a cap to damage dealt at 0 hp, (and houserules for how to handle massive damage and the rules for being dealt damage at 0 hp that would be affected,) there's not a limit to how much hp you gain based on the hp of the target.

Seems like you can target yourself but it can only heals "From others".

The failed death save. Kinda. But that's how I would see and rule it.

I would recommend somewhere non-vital, for instance, left buttcheek.
