I am confused as to why the Channel Energy ability for Clerics is based on charisma. Not only the number of uses per day but also the saving throw! All other saving throws of clerical actions are based on Wisdom, the cleric's prime attribute.

When I first saw this in the SRD, I thought it was a copy/paste error from Paladin or Oracle, which have charisma is their prime attribute. But looking in my book, it seems to be the same.

Is this a typo? Can someone explain the reasoning behind this.


I'm playing a spell-caster and we're on a ship in a really terrible storm, when (of course) some huge tentacles appear coming up over the side. I tried to cast a spell, and my GM said that I needed to make a concentration check at DC 21, which my first level character would need to be pretty lucky to get off. I'm ok with this, though it is the first game I've been in where they actually bother with concentration checks.

The the archer shoots the thing with his bow. Ummm, what? Mumbling a few words and making gestures with one hand while I'm holding on to the mast with my other arm seems a lot easier (on the badly rolling deck) than using both hands to nock an arrow, draw a bow, and release with anything like aim.

So, is there an equivalent of concentration for using a bow?


Just a comment about a simple web standard: If your primary URL is just paizo.com, then you should redirect www.paizo.com to it. The latter currently doesn't go anywhere.

A little-known feature of all browsers is that Ctrl-Enter in the URL bar will prepend "http://www." and append ".com" to whatever you have already typed. That is, one can just type (in the URL bar) "paizo" and hit Ctrl-Enter, and it will go to http://www.paizo.com . Unfortunately, for you guys, that doesn't go anywhere.
