To gain channel.


Advice

Grand Lodge

What classes can gain the Channel energy class feature? Please list any possibilities, including feats and archetypes.


Cleric, Antipaladin/Paladin, Oracle(Life)
That is all I can think off, off the top of my head

Grand Lodge

I could have swore there was ways for druids, inquisitors, and wizards.

Power over Undead (Su): You receive Command Undead or Turn Undead as a bonus feat. You can channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier, but only to use the selected feat. You can take other feats to add to this ability, such as Extra Channel and Improved Channel, but not feats that alter this ability, such as Elemental Channel and Alignment Channel. The DC to save against these feats is equal to 10 + 1/2 your wizard level + your Charisma modifier. At 20th level, undead cannot add their channel resistance to the save against this ability.

I can't seem to locate anything for Inquisitors and Druids

I believe the druid and inquisitor can get it from a domain.

Still can't locate anything for Inquisitors

Through the Adept Channel feat, the NPC class Adept can gain channel energy.


Yea, some druids can get channel energy for specific types (like the aquatic and arctic listed above).

Inquisitors can't get it, although there's a feat for multiclass ones with it.

Grand Lodge

Inquisitors can take animal and terrain domains. So it looks like he can. Neat.


Er, right.

What are you looking to do with it?


I'm guessing... http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/-guided-hand

It is total bs that only clerics can get that feat w/o jumping through hoops. Or that it exists at all and makes Zen Archer Monk cry.


Whaaaa. As if zen archers needed more buffing.

I'm going to assume you're joking...

Not that "please, please, please don't ship off my unique class features into easily obtainable feats" could be considered a form of "buffing" by any rational person anyway.

There is a feat, can't remember the name off the top of my head, that allows you to count Inquisitor levels as cleric levels for channelling. So you can take one level of cleric and then channel as a cleric up to your total Inquisitor/Cleric level.


Since I didn't see it mentioned, Empyreal Sorc also gets a use of channel. Not excellent, but it should open up channeling feats such as Extra Channel.

Grand Lodge

Guided Hand is the goal, yes.


There is a Cavalier (Order of the Star) that adds 1/2 your cavalier level to Paladin/Cleric/Oracle of Life Mystery for upping your channeling---nice for melee build cuz' you can boost your saves/AC/attacks instantly with the Order of the Star's other abilities.

I think it'd be neat to combine Cavalier with the Holy Vindicator (APG 263) prestige class, which at 6 levels gets to channel in a 30 ft burst or 30 ft cone or 120 ft line.

You could, with a neutral deity, also take Versatile Channel to use either positive or negative energy when you channel.

Whatever channeling you do, Selective Channel (Exclude up to Cha modifier targets) is a must.

Good luck!

Grand Lodge

Focusing on the channel is not really the goal. I am trying to find ways to create a wisdom based melee character. There are other reasons for discovering alternate routes to channel, but for now, guided hand is the eventual goal.


Great idea any body got a list of the favored weapons of deities?

I doubt they are jokeing, and the Zen archer is a little too good. I also think that it makes a lot more sense, and was much much more needed on the Cleric's side, than the little Zen Archer, which by the way was a Feat in 3E more for Clerics than Monks. I think it's more BS that the Monk gets an archtype for it, than the Feat is so restricted as it is.


The "buff" he's talking about is that Clerics of Irori get unarmed strike for use with this ability. Making it so ALL their attacks now rely on wisdom to hit.

You can find what you are looking for here. I know not of a straight list, but it would be nice to have one.
