Hey all, so I was building a cleric and I noticed this class gets two differenf spell pools and maybe I am missing aomething but that feels a bit weird. Allow me to explain, in channel energy we get a pool of energy that is equal to our charisma mod + 3 ok not a problem but then we also get pool of spell points which fuel our Domain powers which is equal to wisdom (key ability mod). This just feels weird to habe 2 different pools of energy to track or am i crazy. I feel like maybe put the two pools together and use wisdom + 3 as your base pool. I dont know maybe its just me and maybe its because I now dont know where to list channel energy on my sheet and where to track this pool,of energy. Thoughts on it? And remember be awesome to each other

You really, really don't want this.

Currently one the biggest issues facing the Alchemist is their reliance on a single class of point resources: Resonance.

Number-crunching has revealed that Alchemists, after using their class abilities that key off this single pool, often end up with a single encounter's worth of abilities to use, and their lack of cantrips means they usually rely on a crossbow for further actions.

Having separate pools of points to track for channel energy might be a slight increase in bookwork, but gives you the default best (and in many cases, only) source of reliable healing in the game.
