Cleric's Channel Energy

[Mr.Marbles]

Had a question about a rule. The channel energy ability states:

"Channeling energy causes a burst that affects all creatures of one type (either undead or living) in a 30-foot radius centered on the cleric."

Does the cleric qualify as creature in that burst, or is he/she excluded?

If you read the rest of the description carefully, you'll see that it actually lets you choose whether to include yourself each time you channel.
