The channel foci from Adventurer's Armory state:
Quote:
Activating a focus is identical to channeling energy, but instead of directing the power outward, the cleric (or other appropriate character) directs it into the focus, expending one use of channel energy.
However, the individual foci sometimes specifically reference clerics. For example the Sundered Mask says, in part:
Quote:
... the mask releases the stored energy into the wearer, healing a number of hit points equal to the number of dice of the activating cleric’s channel energy ability.
A reasonable interpretation might be that when it says cleric, it really means "cleric or other appropriate character". However, as it only says cleric (and "appropriate character" is additionally not clearly defined), this leaves a lot of room for debate. Something I wish to avoid, if possible.
TL/DR:
There are MANY classes which have access to channel energy these days. Are they all to be considered "appropriate" for the purposes of charging channel foci, and can they do so even if the item mentions clerics specifically?
