The situation is that "I" am playing an Aasimar negative energy channeler. I have taken the wonderfully delicious Channel Force feats. Now lets say I am a ninth level cleric with my 5d6 channel. I need to move an ally 5 feet back using my channel force which lets me push or pull a creature 5 feet per 2d6 of channel energy dice. Can I thus choose to Channel for only 2d6 and spare my friend some unnecessary damage or is it unfortunately locked that a cleric can channel only for what their max amount without reducing the dice pool.
Tl:Dr
Can a 9th cleric channel with a channel of 5d6 choose to channel for say 2d6 instead?
You don't have to. it says 'up to 5' per 2d6', so you can choose to only push them 5'.
As far as pulling the damage goes, I can't find anything that says it's legal, but since you can pull spell caster levels, I can't see why not.

Yeah, that's my concern as well. I can't find anything that determines legality. The precedence I was basing my thoughts on are how Bards can at varying levels reduce the time it takes to activate a performance but just because they got better at starting it doesn't mean they can't still activate it as a standard/move etc.
My thoughts are a cleric can channel at any intensity that they have before. Getting stronger shouldn't mean being unable to perform "weaker" actions of the same type.
On a side note I did not know that Casters could cast spells at a lower caster level. That's interesting.
