Hello,
I'm working on a new character for PFS, a Cleric of Grandmother Spider specializing on channeling (starting with Negative Energy), and there is a few points for which I could use advise.
1) Class:
Cleric - at least 5 levels (for PRC pre-req)
-Archetype: Herald Caller (Bonus skill points, added focus without need of high wisdom)
Envoy of Balance - at least 4 levels for Spiritual Equilibrium / Twin Channeling
Now the question is Cleric 8 for superior summoning or Envoy of Balance 6 for Planar Parity (Counterpoised Template is good for summons, and superior summoning can be taken as a feat)
2)Domains:
Luck or Community? Luck powers are really handy but not fond of the spells, however Community has good spells and an interesting level 1 ability.
3)Race:
Is the Half Elf favored bonus (+1/3 to dammage/heal of channel) useful or a trap?
I kinda like the idea of an Ekujae Half Elf (kindred raised +2Cha / +2Wis), though a classic human would make it easier on skills/feats
(both would work with the overall background I have in mind)
4)Traits:
Apart from Sacred Conduit, any good and flavorful trait for this character?
5)Feats:
Lvl1 - Selective Channel mandatory
In no set order:
-Versatile Channel (by lvl 7 latest, not needed for PRC pre req due to augment summon from Herald Caller I believe)
-Improved Channel
-Quick Channel
-Channeling Variance - Luck (maybe twice for at will?)
Not sure if worth it:
-Alignment Channel
-Extra Channel
Any other suggestions?
6) Attributes:
Planning for 19 Cha with lvl4-8-12 increase there
16 Wisdom for spellcasting
Would lowering strength to 8 an issue? THen probably left overs in Dexterity for some AC and initiative.
Thank you!
