Channel Positive Energy Cleric

[Angry Wizard]

Okay, so I wanted to make a cleric for a homebrew campaign I'm in that has us up to our necks in undead (though not entirely, like maybe 90-95%). I've always wanted to use channel energy as more than just a healing resource and decided to make a cleric that would basically ruin an undead hoard's day. I don't know how far the campaign will run though, so any advice on how to strengthen and advance my channeling capabilities would be most helpful. Other than being a chaneling fiend, she is a support cleric and if we're up against non-undead, BBEGs, and the like she'll be focusing on buff spells and then smacking them with her weapon. Currently set to any glory/sun deity (with classic cleric mace), and if you have any knowledge of deities with those domains other than Sarenrae and Iomedae, I'm curious to know what the options are.

Improved channel is an obvious feat to take, +2 to the dc of channel energy is nothing to sneeze at.

I figured I could wait on that feat since the glory domain already grants a +2, but yeah a potent feat. Especially with no channel resistances.

First thought. Undead hordes sometimes have evil clerics healing them. Obviously, not every horde, but enough that you can make great use of the Death Domain, This will cause you to heal when any energy is channeled.

A nice undead hating deity is Pharasma. While she is the god of death, she does not like it when mortals snag her peaceful minions to turn into horrors. No sun domain, but you would be able to take healing and death.

Instead of the Mace, how about the under used Battle Aspergillium. It can sprinkle holy water with each hit, dealing 1d6+str+1 holy damage. It also enables you to sprinkle incorporeal creatures. Those ghosts have no where to hide now. It is also a light simple weapon, so dex use is possible if preferred.

Additional options:
Oracle of Life. Lots of positive energy and support just like a cleric.
Witch Doctor Shaman of Life. Even more positive energy, some hexes, and support spells.

Huh, never heard of a Battle Aspergillium before (man that's gonna be a b!~## to pronounce). Sounds cool, I'll consider it when I can afford some holy water. Didn't consider evil cleric healing, I'll have to poke around with that problem, thank you for that advice, though I'm probably going to stick with the cleric class (call me a traditionalist).

How about the Divine Channeler from Rite Publishing. Pure aweseome for a channeling focused divine spell-chucker.

BA is in the Advance Player's Guide. There is also a magic weapon Everflowing Aspergillum that never runs out of holy water. It is from Ultimate Equipment. Sure it is expensive, but you never have to worry about refilling or running out.

Couldn't find it, even then no 3rd party allowed. =(
