I came here looking for a thread on Selective Channeling and was surprised there has not been any feedback on this.
Does anybody else have an issue with the number of excluded opponents being linked to CHA modifier?
This is a really core feat for the cleric to function in the way it has been re-envisioned. Restricting this feat by linking it to CHA really undermines a lot of characters efficacy as a healer. It shoehorns a "certain" build (ie Wisdom, Charisma) for Channel to be used as combat healing. It forces other builds (Wisdom/Strength fighter cleric, Dex/Wisdom rogue/cleric,etc.) back to the same old problem of using spell slots for combat healing.
I'm surprised there hasn't been any discussion of other mechanics here (like perhaps # of excluded opponents = 1/2 clerical level). Tying it to level would represent the clerics experience at "directing the blessings offered by her deity" to her allies.
Any thoughts?
