Quick Cleric Question

[Trueshots]

I'm looking for a feat/trait/domain/deity that would increase the caster level for channel (I'm looking to get additional dice for each roll). I'm multi classing with this build and am worried about the loss of dice as well as the DC of the channel.
I know there's a trait that gives +2 to caster level of spells, does this also effect the clerics channel?
My build idea is a cleric that is primarily a channeler that also delivers touch attack spells. Thinking of taking weapon finesse with high dex for a high attack chance and mobility and acrobatics. Any suggestions would be great.

Also, If I have 3 levels of cleric and 3 of something else. I'm consider caster level 3 and channel at 1d6. Now lets say say I find something that increases my caster level by 3 levels. Would this mean I would now be a CL 6 and channel a 3d6? Thanks.

Channel depends on your cleric level, not your caster level. Phylactery of positive/negative channeling is your only option. There are also no feats that increase your caster level more than 2.

There is phylactery of negative/positive channeling for 10,000 gp which grants additional +2d6 on channel dice.

Some domains grant bonuses, but specific only. For example Sun domain, if I remember right, grants additional damage against undead.

There is no deity that grants additional increase of channel dice that I am aware of.

I am not sure if additional caster level increases your channel dice, but often enough description of trait/feat/ability will tell you. If it does, magical knack might be good choice if you plan to multiclass.

That's about all I remember at the moment,

To my knowledge, there isn't anything like that. But Channeling is considered fairly weak at high levels anyway so you shouldn't be worried about using it as a main feature if you're multiclassing.

What are you multiclassing into by the way?

It sounds like you might want to try an Oracle with the Life mystery. Some races (such as Elves and Aasimars) have a favored class bonus that lets them increase their effective level for one of their revelations. If you choose the Channel Energy revelation, you can be channeling as a cleric of a higher level.

First of all at lvl 3 you get 2d6 channel. When using traits/feats to gain caster level you dont actually get more levels. The only thing affected is spell variables and dispel difficulty. For example duration based on caster level will be longer. Healing for cure spells get +1 per caster level etc etc.

You dont get more channel energy since that is based on class level and the same is true for spells/day.

There is an item that gives you 2 extra d6 per channel. I think it's a head piece of some sort at around 10k gold.

Well i was throwing in a little ninja. I have a high CHA for channels and channeling DC. The high Cha would help with ninja abilities. I want to primarily deliver touch attacks for damage and channel when there are larger groups to hit. I think there is a feat where i can channel positive or negative at the cost of 2 channels per? I may pick that feat up for group heals if need be (I'm obviously a negative channeler). Any suggestions would be great!
