Is there a prestige class or archtype that allows your Channel Positive Energy to stack?
Thank you

Stack... with what? There are some that continue to advance an existing Channel Energy class feature (such as holy vindicator). Is that what you were looking for?

If you're looking for one that stacks the channel energy of two or more base classes together such as cleric and paladin, the answer is most likely, no.

The vindicator’s class level stacks with levels in any other class that grants the channel energy ability.

As far as I can tell, this means that if you have 3 classes with channel energy, the holy vindicator stacks with all 3 of them.

Not if they don't stack together normally. In the case of a c/p/hv, you have to choose which class it stacks with.


Where does it actually say that?

EDIT: okay, let me explain how I think it works:

You are a cleric 2/Paladin8/Holy Vindicator 10

When you channel, you need to select which class' channel you use (as per the "channels don't stack" ruling). You can channel as a level 12 (2+10) cleric, or as a level 18 (8+10) paladin, since the vindicator stacks with any class that gives you channel.

Paladins and Clerics get their channels from different mechanics, one from class levels, and the other from spending Lay on Hands.


Please continue that line of thought because I'm still not seeing how that's a problem.

But if you insist, replace the paladin with Life Mystery oracle with the channel energy revelation.

Thank you. I was looking for the holy vindicator

I'm particularly fond of the Envoy of Balance myself. That said, it only stacks with Channel Positive Energy if it's from a neutral cleric that can also Channel Negative Energy (with the Versatile Channeler feat).
