AvalonXQ - Thank you! I've never thought of those stats that way, and it makes a lot of sense.

That being said, I don't see why Selective Channeling is based on CHA rather than WIS. This isn't a game system where you have much ability to increase stats (once every 4 levels), so you're basically stuck with what you started the game with. My groups generally use the point buy system for stats. With the 13 CHA requirement just to pick up Selective Channeling initially, and using the CHA modifier as your limit for exclusion, in order to be any good at this you have to have a fairly high CHA. With all of the other stat needs for a Cleric, the need to have a high CHA to be able to effectively use what should be a rather basic function of one of the Clerics main abilities seems out of line. I don't have a problem with Selective Channeling requiring a Feat, I just find I disagree with how it's set up.

Can anyone explain to me why Selective Channeling is based on CHA? That doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. What, only pretty and/or friendly clerics can do it? If your cleric happens to be ugly they can't do this? To be good at it they have to be beautiful? Huh???
