Deific Obedience and 'Exalted Levels'

[wilth7]

Looking at the Deific Obedience feat, I'm wondering how some of the boons would function for someone without the Exalted prestige class. For instance, Sarenrae's second boon says you add your Exalted levels to your cleric levels for calculating the power of your channel energy. If you're not an Exalted, would this ability do anything? What if you have the feat, but no cleric levels?

Some feats are more useful than others, and some feats are more effective for some classes than others.
If you don't have channel energy then Sarenraes second boon isn't going to be very useful for you. Now you get to decide if it's still worth it for your character.

I agree with the part about not having channel energy, but I'm still curious about boons that mention 'Exalted' levels when one has none. Would that just mean that that boon has no effect for non-exalted?

That's right. Some Boons are specific build features to an Exalted class.

It's difficult to get exalted boons without being exalted. The only way possible is to take the feat diverse obedience. If you take deific obedience without diverse obedience, you always get the evangelist boon.

It was impossible to get exalted boons without being exalted before divine anthology came out.

This is exactly backwards.

Certain prestige classes gain access to these boons at lower levels as a benefit of their prestige class. If you have no levels in one of these prestige classes, you gain the boons marked as exalted boons.

Thanks for correcting me, I always thought it was evangelist.
