Evangelist Channel progression, does it affect Channel DC?

[henkslaaf]

Hey there,

Reading the rules for the awesome Evangelist archetype, I noticed that the rules only mention the number of dice channeled to be capped at 7. It does not say anything about the DC.

Does the DC grow with all levels or is it similarly capped to 14?

Sermonic Performance: An evangelist gains the ability to deliver a select number of supernatural and spell-like performances through the force and power of her divinely inspired preaching and exhortation. This ability is similar in all respects to bardic performance as used by a bard of the same level (including interactions with feats, spells, and prestige classes), using Perform (oratory) as the evangelist's performance skill. However, an evangelist gains only the following types of bardic performance: countersong, fascinate, and inspire courage at 1st level; inspire greatness at 9th level; and inspire heroics at 15th level. Sermonic performance replaces the 1st-, 9th-, and 15th-level channel energy abilities. This caps the cleric's channel energy damage at 7d6 points.

Emphasis mine. This is the only limitation it places on Channel Energy. Since the DC of Channel Energy is 10 + 1/2 cleric level + CHA modifier (and has nothing to do with the damage dice of Channel Energy), an evangelist's Channel Energy DC would continue to go up as he levels.

Yeah, I thought the same. But it never hurts to have a second opinion :)

Thanks.
