Ability Focus and Channel Energy or Touch of Corruption

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Hey all,
The only other thread that my search-fu turned up on this topic was from the alpha test of the core rules from back in 2008, so that wasn't tremendously helpful.

Can a PC cleric or antipaladin take Ability Focus (Channel Energy) in order to boost that DC? Can an antipaladin take it to increase the DC on their Touch of Corruption with respect to the additional effects it can cause at later levels?

It's a 'Monster' feat, so I'm always cautious about allowing it for PCs, although I do believe monks should be able to take 'Improved Natural Attack' so maybe I shouldn't be too hard on this one...

Thanks in advance,

DJF

The feat is improved channel to increase the DC by a +2.

I would allow it, but I'm not sure if it is RAW.

In this case (ability focus to boost touch of corruption) i have to take ability focus (touch of corruption) to boost all my cruelties effects or i have to take ability focus (cruelty) and choose one speficic cruelty for a "single" +2 dc's bonus?
