[QUOTE="Gideon, post: 3033028, member: 2813"] [b]channelling[/b] I really like the idea of feats that utilize the ability to channel energy. However, I would recommend not automatically requiring all of the attempts for that day. The number of turning attempts is not a specific number for all channelers. It can benefit from both feats (Extra Turning) and high ability scores (charisma). A different system would be the use of a static mitigating factor/turning attempt. I can't recommend a value because I haven't seen the spellcraft requirements or the other mitigating factors. The mitigating factor (# of turn attempts) from energy expenditure would be a required part of the spell. Another possible method would be to require a specific amount of channeled energy to be expended. The amount of channeled energy would be symbolized by the channeler's level +cha bonus. The channeler could spend multiple turning attempts to build up the required amount of energy. A discreet amount of energy would give a discreet mitigating factor. (i.e. 30 energy levels/-1 spellcraft DC) I would also recommend being able to utilize channeling energy during rituals. I realize both of these methods might add an extra layer of intricacy but I believe they could add value to a game. A similar method could be added for bardic music. [/QUOTE]
