Feat Questions

[Lou Diamond]

Would a Feat that allows a Paladin to do an Imidiate La on the Hands be unbalancing?

Would a Feat that allows anyone that can Chanel Engery to do a Swift Chanel Engery be unblancing?

Sounds like this should be in Advice or Homebrew.

Immediate Lay on Hands sounds fine for a feat. I think a first-level paladin spell allows that, and paladins are low on feats, so it doesn't seem like an unbalancing trade.

Swift Channel Energy is too good. There's a feat called Quick Channel that lets you channel as a move action at the cost of using up two uses of Channel Energy instead of just one.

I would be inclined to allow Swift Channel with Quick Channel as a prerequisite, and with it consuming 3 uses of Channel Energy. In fact, with those stipulations, I might even make it an immediate action.

Edit: I might add more limitations, such as "may only be used to affect living creatures" in the case of positive energy (undead for negative energy).

1st level paladin spell hero's defiance does exactly what you are looking for.
