Crusader's Flurry Channel Energy requirement

[Halcyon_Janissary]

Laying aside the fact that the Expulsionist if kinda a garbage archtype for the Inquisitor, am I correct in assuming Expel Spirit works to meet the prequisites for Crusader's Flurry?

Relavent ability:
Expel Spirit (Su) : At 1st level, an expulsionist receives Alignment Channel and Turn Undead as bonus feats. She can channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier as per a cleric with an effective level equal to her inquisitor level, but only to harm or turn evil outsiders or undead (treating all evil outsiders as undead creatures for the purpose of determining whether they can be affected by Turn Undead). She can take other feats that add to this ability, such as Extra Channel or Improved Channel, but not other feats that fundamentally alter this ability, such as Elemental Channel, and she cannot select Alignment Channel multiple times. The DC to save against this ability is equal to 10 + 1/2 the expulsionist’s inquisitor level + her Charisma modifier.

Crusader's Flurry requires the Channel Energy class feature, which I don't see specifically named in Expel Spirit until one gets to the "She can channel energy a number of times per day" etc etc.

Thoughts?

It certainly is Channel Energy, just under another name. It's just not channel positive or negative energy. I see no real issue with what you are doing, since the FAQ ruling on channel energy (and similar abilities) can be used to meet requirements.

However, if you intend to use this to meet the requirements of the Holy Vindicator prestige class, you are going have an issue with their Vindicator's Shield ability.

Perfect, thanks.

Nah, I'm trying to build a multi-class Monk / Inquisitor (or Inquisitor / Horizon Walker) to take advantage of Dim Dervish / Savant, so my build's already too tight to consider a prestige class.
