Versatile Channeler + Variant Channeling?

[Sean H]

The Versatile Channeler Feat allows a Neutral cleric of a Neutral god to channel both kinds of energy, with the secondary one running as if your cleric level was 2 levels lower. Fairly straightforward.

What I'm wondering is how this interacts with Variant Channeling. According to UM, "A variant channeling either modifies positive energy when used to heal or negative energy when used to harm."

Does this mean a Cleric could have two different Variant Channels(one for positive and one for negative energy), assuming both variants were within her deity's portfolio? For example, could a Cleric of Adabar have the Cities variant for channeling positive, and the Contracts variant for channeling negative?

By RAW that seems to work. I think it is RAI also.

I like.

I have a secondary related question.

Could a neutral oracle with the Life mystery and the channel positive energy revelation take the variant channeling feat.?

If it isn't permitted by raw, would it be a big stretch to house rule it and allow an oracle to take a versatile channeler? say one who is a neutral priest of Pharasma?

thanks

RAW: A character who has the channel energy ability from a class other than cleric may use these variant channeling rules if the class’s abilities are tied to serving a deity. For example, paladins can select alternative channeling abilities if they serve a deity, as can oracles with the Life mystery (as they serve many deities), but necromancer wizards cannot.

Of course, Oracles DON'T actually have Class Abilities tied to SERVING Deity's...
(like Domain Paladins and Inquisitors and potentially Druids do). 8-/
