Sorry. I have a family emergency that is ongoing, so I had to take a trip to Texas but I'm back on the East Coast now.
Leif, I am fine with your decision to change feat for level three, but Extra Channeling is a Pathfinder feat, not a 3.5 feat. Sorry.
Helfdan, we are still using 3.5.
Amaury, Just answered your PM.
MV, no luck on the troll progression. There is nothing on my computer, so next I plan to search through this OOC thread to see if I can find a discussion of it.
