Skelter's page

Do you see the word "only" anywhere in there? because I sure don't. I'm not ignoring the second line. I'm reading both sentences. neither exclude the other. You get it both ways.

Now one might argue that it is implied. but that is not how RAW works. you can argue Rules as Intended till the last mortal dies and Groetus destroys the world, but for Pathfinder Society (which is the setting in which Skelter is playing) RAW is all that matters. He is not the first to use Death's Embrace this way, he certainly won't be the last. because that is how the rule is written.

when channeling to heal undead, Skelter would only have his one dice from Cleric, yes. but when channeling to harm He is using full dice. the death domain power then changes that damage to healing only for himself while those around him get damaged.

...Benefit: When you use channel energy to deal damage, your inquisitor levels count as cleric levels for determining the number of damage dice and the saving throw DC.

he is still using his channel with the purpose of dealing damage when he does this, it just happens to heal him what damage he would have received instead.

What a coincidence, as I the great and powerful Skelter Moon Asahara (you may address me as "Skelter, The Risen") have quite the similar build to your fellow "player". Tho, I am not quite experienced enough to embrace the full power of the domain of my Pallid Princess, I hope that she will bless my endless hunger with this most holy of abilities before long.

The dilemma is you are placing your emphasis on the wrong sentence in the domain description

Death's Embrace (Ex): At 8th level, you heal damage instead of taking damage from channeled negative energy. If the channeled negative energy targets undead, you heal hit points just like undead in the area.

This means that when I gain this power and I am targeting living creatures with the intent to HARM, i heal damage from the effect INSTEAD of being damaged.

Isn't it sublime? the limitless power? AHAHA AHAHAHAHA!none of the fools who follow these supposedly "good" deities with their vile prejudice against my Pallid Princess have such power.

translation: Is this how most negative energy situations work? no. it is something UNIQUE to Death Domain. is it broken as ****? of course it is. but it is also RAW as ****. Enjoy.

Now that you've seen the truth. See through the lie that all of undeath is inherently evil, even an abomination against all that is good. Undead are people too...well sometimes.

Bluff: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38Yes, this is his actual bluff bonus at level 6. Good ol' Skelter is a delusional sociopath determined to put a stop to the racial profiling and negative stigma of undead within the context of the campaign setting that says they are always evil. the bluff roll is for his Church of Urgathoa sales pitch only. the stuff about death domain is legit.

That fool Guaril's "trap" may have served in my own demise, but it is no matter. I had been weighing my commitment to my adoptive nation of Osirion over this past year, and (after finally seeing a new direction for the faction that suits my own purposes) I made arrangements for a contingency should I see death's door. And so I am reborn!

Behold Skelter Moon Asahara, THE RISEN!

Pharasma be damned! Glory to the Pallid Princess!
