Channel Smite+ Channeling Scoruge

[Shogone Gecko]

Do these two feats interact together ie if I channel smite when I'm a level 2 inquisitor level 1 cleric does my damage equal 2d6 channel damage or only 1d6 channel damage. I plan to use these in a society toon and just wanted to make sure they actually work together

Strictly as written, this won't work. Channeling Scourge only lets your inquisitor levels count as cleric when you use channel energy, and Channel Smite isn't channeling energy, it's expending a use of the ability to do something that isn't channeling.

It's fair to say the two should stack, and I feel many GMs would agree with you. However, you mentioned this was for PFS, so you may find precise interpretations to be more common than is entirely comfortable, and you have to go in knowing they may say no.

thank you much, I knew it was a house rule thing but it was mostly for society thoughts.
