Divine Challenge/Divine Sanction

[tyrlaan]

Apologies in advance for my laziness, since the answer to my question is likely out there somewhere in the vastness of internet space...

Is there any clarification if feats that work with divine challenge also work with divine sanction? Literal interpretation suggests no, but it definitely makes sense to me for it to instead be yes.

Alternatively, do folks houserule this to be a yes if it is a no?

RAW, no.

I wouldn't houserule it, either. Divine Sanction has fewer restrictions then Divine Challenge, but has fewer boosters. Seems reasonable.

This!

And b/c DS deals radiant damage as well you can use some of the radiant themed/enhancing feats/PP/etc. as well.

Not to mention, Sanction works perfectly well when used by a hybrid, but Divine Challenge (hybrid) has less p-p-p-power.

So... they accomplish the same things, but do not do the same things.

Str paladins suffer more from feats like mighty challenge only working with DC and not DS... though the half-orc dragon article gives a feat that allows str to apply to both. The feat also stacks with mighty challenge!

Sure...if you're a half-orc. My player is a human paladin so no chance of getting that feat.

Also, divine challenge does radiant damage just like divine sanction...

It might also be worth pointing out that there really isn't charops going on in this game. The same paladin, for example, is taking the Mounted Combat feat at 1st level.
