How many channel dice?

[Xexyz]

A player in my campaign is making a new character, an Evangelist Cleric 8 / Holy Vindicator 2. The Evangelist cleric does not get a channel increase at levels 1, 9, and 15. The Holy Vindicator's class level stacks with any levels that grant channel energy. So I interpret this to mean the character will have a total of 3d6 channeling. Is this correct?

Channel Energy (Su)

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

Sermonic performance replaces the 1st-, 9th-, and 15th-level channel energy abilities. This caps the cleric's channel energy damage at 7d6 points.

Yeah, you'd be right. The evangelist would get 1d6 channeling at 3rd and 5th level, and the holy vindicator's two levels would stack for another 1d6.

So yes, 3d6 worth of channeling, which... isn't BAD, but I don't know either archetype, so I guess they make up for it in magic/performance/utter meanness?

The Evangelist cleric gets a few bardic performances in exchange for giving up a domain and some channeling dice. The downside to the combination is that one of the holy vindicator's main abilities is keyed off the character's channel dice.

Actually, the 3d6's are granted by the Evangelist cleric at level 3, 5 and 7. Holy Vindicator uses the exact scaling of the class granting channel energy, which in this case doesn't upgrade at level 9. (just picking nits)

D'oh, I thought he was only going 8 total levels, not 10. >_<
