Are there any feats or archetypes that let a neutral cleric channel both positive and negative energy?

Psst, you want to channel both positive and negative energy? How would you like to do both AT THE SAME TIME!?

Its possible. You can heal your (living) allies at the same time as harming your (living) enemies.

How is this possible? Four levels in Envoy of Balance. Take Spiritual Equilibrium and Twinned Channeling as your Endowments.

You just need 5 ranks in Know (planes), spellcraft and the feat Versatile Channeling. And a Neutral Deity. You are going to want Selective Channeling too, so be ready.

Do it.


What god and domains would you recommend? It's an NPC opponent, part of a group. The concept is N or LN cleric of order and death, who sees death as a way of bringing order to the universe.

If you're in Golarion, Nethys is a sort of insane god of both creation and destruction which I think captures what you're going for a bit.

Nehtys is actually the god of magic in general.

Thanks JJ Jordan! I was debating between the always useful travel and liberation domains and something that fits the concept.


Here is the first attempt, subject to suggestions:

Cernian N male Aasimar Cleric of Nethys 6/ Envoy of Balance 4
HD 6d8 + 4d6
Domains: Destruction and Knowledge

Str 8
Dex 10
Con 12
Int 10
Wis 20
Cha 22

Envoy of Balance endowments- Spiritual Equilibrium (adds Envoy of Balance levels to cleric levels for channeling energy), Twinned Channel (can channel both positive and negative energy in a channel)

Feats- Imp. Initiative, Selective Channeling, Versatile Channeler, Quick Channel, Craft Wondrous Items

Gear- Headband of Mental Superiority (Wis and Cha) +2, Cloak of Resistance +2, Mithral Shirt +2

Cernian believes death and destruction lead to perfect order. The rebirth and recreation that follows death and destruction is the natural progression of existence.

He casts buff and support spells, and focuses on channeling energy in combat.
