Channel Energy (p. 59) and Ability Focus (MM)


Skills & Feats


Hi!

Ability Focus is a Feat increasing the DC for any special attack by +2. As Channel Energy can do damage, it is an attack. Thus, Ability Focus (Channel Energy) should be possible.

From a balancing standpoint, I'd say that's okay. However, this duplicates Improved Turning, which does exactly the same.

This has four possible consequences:

- Remove Improved Turning; a reference to Ability Focus might be good, then.

or

- Forbid Ability Focus (Channel Energy).

or

- Allow both to be bought. A clarification might be wise.

or

- Change the effect of Improved Turning (+1d6 heal/dmg, for example), as there already is a Feat to increase its DC.
