Is channel energy from a good cleric, good?


Rules Questions


In other words.

If a good cleric channels positive or negative energy in order to harm creatures with DR/good

do they overcome the DR or is channel energy not alligned.

Channel energy does not interact with DR in any way, shape, or form. DR applies to physical attacks only. Not energy.

However, if the creature in question has regeneration (good) then the question is still valid. And the answer is: No. Channel positive energy may be associated with good but it is not inherently good in and of itself.

Channel energy is not effected by DR in the first place.

They overcome the DR, because energy damage ignores DR.

Positive energy is not aligned. It heals living demons just as well as it heals living orphans. It doesn't count as a good-aligned weapon or effect unless some other rule makes it so.


... good point.

thnx.
