So looking at the Life shaman it gets as a
and the witch doctor archetype saysSpirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the Life spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability.
Channel (Su): The shaman can channel positive energy like a cleric, using her shaman level as her effective cleric level when determining the amount of damage healed (or dealt to undead) and the DC. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1 + her Charisma modifier.
Channel Energy (Su): At 4th level, the witch doctor can draw transcendental energies to her location, flooding it with positive energy as the cleric class feature. The witch doctor uses her shaman level – 3 as her effective cleric level, and can channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. This ability replaces the hexes gained at 4th and 12th levels.
so can a life shaman select witch doctor as an archetype and if so, how does one resolve the channel ability?
You get two separate channels, one equal to your level that works 1 + Cha per day, and one equal to your level -3 that work 3 + Cha per day.
ok thanks.
