You can expend a large portion of your channeling power to reverse death itself.
Prerequisite: Channel energy 6d6 (positive energy).
Benefit: As a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, you can expend three uses of your channel energy class feature to restore a dead creature to life as if you had cast the breath of life spell.
Aura moderate necromancy; CL 10th

DESCRIPTION
This item allows channelers of positive energy to increase the amount of damage dealt to undead creatures by +2d6. This also increases the amount of damage healed by living creatures.
Have a few questions as usual.
1) Errata check: Is it true that a Phylactery of Positive Channneling (Adds +2d6 to channel positive energy) would help you qualify for this feat at an earlier level? (Though you would lose it if you lost the item, of course)
2)Can you take a 5' step or make a concentration check to avoid the attack of opportunity this feat provokes?
3)Does the target need to be dead or can you use it on someone living to heal them? If so, can you target yourself?
4)Does this feat follow the same restriction as the "Breath of Life" spell in bringing the target to life?
And now a question about the Phylactery itself
1)Does the bonus stack to determine the Channel Level of Channel Negative energy gained through the Versatile Channeler feat?
You can choose to channel positive and negative energy.
Prerequisites: Channel energy class feature, necromancer or neutrally aligned cleric (see below).
Benefit: You may make a choice whenever you use your channel energy class feature.
If you normally channel positive energy, you may choose to channel negative energy as if your effective cleric level were 2 levels lower than normal.
If you normally channel negative energy, you may choose to channel positive energy as if your effective cleric level were 2 levels lower than normal.
Having this feat means you qualify for feats and abilities that have "channel positive energy" or "channel negative energy" as a prerequisite (for example, you qualify for the Command Undead feat and the Turn Undead feat).
Note: This feat only applies to necromancers, neutral clerics who worship neutral deities, or neutral clerics who do not worship a deity -- characters who have the channel energy class ability and have to make a choice to channel positive or negative energy at 1st level. Clerics whose alignment or deity makes this choice for them cannot select this feat.

1) Yes, items that grant permanent bonuses can be used to qualify for feats. Mind you, if you lose or remove the item you lose the feat until you qualify again.
2) Yes, you can take a five foot step as part of a full-round action, either before or after it resolves.
3) The Channeled Revival feat specifically states that it can be used on a dead creature, so no it cannot be used on living creatures (although your regular channel positive energy would obviously work just fine for that purpose).
4) Yes, all the restrictions of the breath of life spell apply unless they are explicitly overridden by the feat.
5) No, the phylactery of positive channeling would not benefit your negative channeling via the versatile channeler feat.
