Thy wounds are healed!
Interesting take on the wording of the Channel Energy ability, HM - I'd always considered the choice for affecting living vs. undead one to be made with each application of Channeling, and only the choice between positive and negative energy to be a one time only choice.
I still think that my interpretation is the intent of the rule, but in reading it over again the wording is surely ambiguous!
It's that last sentence it didn't seem to me to be geared towards the neutral cleric but towards all.
COPY/PASTE:
Channel Energy (Su): Regardless of alignment, any cleric can release a wave of energy by channeling the power of her faith through her holy (or unholy) symbol. This energy can be used to cause or heal damage, depending on the type of energy channeled and the creatures targeted.
A good cleric (or one who worships a good deity) channels positive energy and can choose to deal damage to undead creatures or to heal living creatures. An evil cleric (or one who worships an evil deity) channels negative energy and can choose to deal damage to living creatures or to heal undead creatures. A neutral cleric who worships a neutral deity (or one who is not devoted to a particular deity) must choose whether she channels positive or negative energy.
Once this choice is made, it cannot be reversed. This decision also determines whether the cleric casts spontaneous cure or inflict spells (see spontaneous casting).
This right here confused me but then I thought it was speaking on all the choices presented. I thought I would have more oppurtunity to heal the living as we wouldn't fight undead 5 times a day.
