I am considering creating a Cleric/ Paladin of Sarenrae (LG character of NG God) who would major as an undead hunter. Looking for clarification re channeling positive energy to harm undead. Here's the hypothetical:
In theory they could channel as cleric or paladin (the latter uses up 2 of lay on hands ability of course).
What would be the damage, and the Will save DC against that damage, in the case of channeling as a paladin please? On page 62 of the Core Rulebook it says: "A paladin uses her level as her effective cleric level when channeling positive energy" - but which (if any) of the traits, feats and domain powers apply to the paladin channeling (they obviously apply to the cleric channeling)?
Just to check, for the cleric channeling I make it
Damage: d6+2
Breakdown: Standard for a lvl 2 cleric [d6] + Sun domain extra damage of 1/lvl [2]
DC: 20 and no channel resistance (Sun domain again)
Breakdown: 10 + 1/2 lvl [1] + Charisma mod [4] + Glory domain [2] + Improved channeling [2] + Divine Conduit [1]
Anyone attemtping to give the damage and DC numbers - please could you also give their breakdown? Many thanks.
Levels: Cleric 2, Paladin 4
Relevant stat: 18 Charisma
Relevant trait: Divine conduit
Relevant feat: Improved channeling
Cleric Domains: Sun, Glory

I don't think I have the book with the trait in it so cannot comment on it. Otherwise doing a quick reading of the domains and feat, there is nothing in there that restricts them from applying to only the cleric side of the character "equation" which makes everything besides the level a constant. When you use 2 lay on hands you'd use your paladin level instead and at this point gain an additional 1 to the DC and get an additional 2 points of damage for the improved channeling.
