I've been playing as an Hospitaler with an oath of loyalty for a few games now (currently level 4) and I'm looking for a more straightforward in your face kind of paladin since things I gain from both are unused most of the time.
I was thinking of dropping my oath and leaving the archetype by spending 10 days retraining into a vanilla Paladin then taking the Holy Vindicator from level 6 onward.
Now that you know everything about where the character come from and where it's going I can get into the details about my incertitudes about the PrC.
"Using this ability consumes two uses of her lay on hands ability. A paladin uses her level as her effective cleric level when channeling positive energy."
"The vindicator’s class level stacks with levels in any other class that grants the channel energy ability."
If we look at those 2 text we can see that the HV level stack with other classes that have energy channel but since the channel of my paladin us tied to his LoH ability is it fair to assume that it stack with this in order to gain more channel?
Am I interpretting this right or did I missed the point of that HV ability ?
I think it would be fair since the P/HV is at a disadvantage compared to a cleric/HV with versatile channel who can use bloodfire and bloodrain against pretty anything and can still channel positive energy.
Anyway enough talk, let me know what you think :D
