Spirit Guide Life Orace double Channel?


Rules Questions


I'm making sure that this works, but I'm pretty sure it does. A level 4 Spirit Guide Life Oracle can have a channel revelation and can also gain channel from the Shaman Life Spirit. So, does this mean that you get double the channels?

It appears the use of "stack" here is saying that multiple classes don't increase each other's number of dice used when channeling, but the channels remain separate abilities.

You'd get twice as many channels, but the numbers wouldn't stack. You have it correct.

Good find.

You're correct. The only difference will be you actually have to wait until 7 to have the spirit ability from spirit guide. No extra channels until then.

It's a shame that archetype doesn't stack with the Aasimar racial archetype Purifier. It'd be great to get three channel energy abilities... one for undead, one for healing, and one for outsiders! Haha.

I actually had a life oracle build in the works and got really excited about Spirit Guide from this until I saw I would lose my Life Link revelation and that the Life Link hex isn't even close to the same.

A ring of revelation would fix this but I was already going to buy one for something else. Oh well I'll keep this in mind.


Depending upon how it is read, the Holy Vindicator PrC adds effective levels to all of a PC's channel pools from different classes. Would it also double din in this case, assuming that ruling RAW was made?


@Ragoz
I'm using a feat for Extra Revelation to pick up Life Link, but it is a feat/revelation starved build. That ACG errata can't come soon enough.
