I suppose for the sake of flavor, preserving that part of the ability is essential, and the ability itself is honestly pretty powerful as it is, given the right circumstances.

Thanks everyone for your input, i greatly appreciate it. :)

i think in the case of undead, since you would be channeling positive energy to heal an ally (presumably), that positive energy would harm the undead as well.

edit: yeah, paul is correct. even though it is positive energy, you can only target one type of creature per burst (so either the undead, or your living party members)

My reasoning behind the reduced action comes from the haversacks special ability. "When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains." I interpreted this as "i need a sword for my ally who's sword just broke/was lost. i reach into the haversack, the item in question that i'm looking for is now right on top", as per the haversack, which removes the need to dig through/search my pack.

Any thoughts?

Btw i really appreciate the feedback :D

well i do understand that something like a crane is impossible (10 lb weight limit, as i said before), but my intent was for retrieving things that wouldn't fit into a normal small backpack, like say, a medium longsword, or a light metal shield. The purpose i had in mind was for replacing lost equipment in emergency situations, or for retrieving situational items like ropes or chains.

Another thing i just noticed, drawing an item using Deep Pockets is a full-round action. Drawing a specific item from a haversack is a move action. The text of Deep Pockets states that "As a full-round action, the chronicler may dig through her pockets to retrieve an item she specifies at that time. Would this reduce the full-round action to a move action? Or would it remain a full-round because of the ability itself?

I have a question about the Pathfinder Chronicler's Deep Pockets ability. Is it possible, considering that a haversack is, by all definitions, a backpack, to use Deep Pockets to search your haversack for any item that could fit? Since a haversack can contain larger items than a normal backpack, this would open up the ability to draw larger items than normal from the haversack (within the 10 lb maximum weight, of course).
