If you can recognize that every magic spell has a greater impact in Midnight than it does in a normal campaign, and the fact that channelers are better in every other way, then you'll definitely have a fun time playing a channeler. Tons of skill points, medium BAB, the channeler gift, a familiar....personally I think they stack up quite well against all the other classes. Don't forget the fact that their spells are spontaneous and there is no limit to the amount they can know! Now take a wizard or druid prestige class and watch them start to really lob the spells around, while still having tons of skills and fighting ability to fall back on.</blockquote>
