I’m converting over the group I’m currently running to Pathfinder – for the most part I don’t think the transition will be too difficult. However, this feat is a bit problematic. I have a player who has a character that he’s somewhat max-min’d around killing undead. As such, this feat is a no-brainer for him (as it is on the hairy edge of broken).
Basically the feat allows a cleric to burn two turn attempts at once. By so doing, any undead turned by the attempt are destroyed instead.
I don’t really want to take his concept away from him, and I feel like something cool can be done with the Channel rules. I’m thinking something like burning two uses of channel energy to harm undead results in a Maximized burst. Another option might be to Empower the burst increasing the damage dice by 1.5. Another possibility I was considering was increasing the radius of the burst (say to 40'), though that would probably be in conjunction with one of the other options.
Any thoughts? I want the feat to be cool, but I’ve always thought it could be toned down a bit.
I'd rule that the feat allows you to burn two channel attempts in order to do max channel damage with the dice allowed to you (like the Maximize Spell feat only it's for Channel Energy). However, I'd put as a prerequisite that you'd have to be able to channel POSITIVE energy only.
Mostly because of the name I would also think it appropriate that this feat only be open to worshipers of Sarenrae. Or change the name and call it Improved Turn Undead or something.
