Channel Resistance
Creatures with channel resistance gain a bonus on Will saves made against channeled energy. They add their bonus to any Will saves made to halve the damage and resist the effect.
My question is a cure spell considered a channeled effect or does this only apply to the paladin and clerics channel energy class feature? Came up in a game the other day didn't make a difference yet mob failed its save anyway. But just wanna be clear for future reference. Thanks again
Haven't played with much undead lately, but I've always allowed the bonus only on cleric and paladin channel abilities.
The Cure spells are nerfed enough for combat usage, don't want to add more insult to energy and give channel resistance.
Edit: see pg. 298 of the Bestiary for glossary entry on channel resistance.
Channel Resistance only applies against the use of the "Channel Energy" class feature or effects that rely upon it (such as the "Turn Undead" feat).
It does not apply against other effects that utilize positive (or negative) energy.
