[QUOTE="Roman, post: 4377444, member: 1845"] I have also used an undead priest with Negative Energy Channeling against the players, but he didn't have any other undead with him to bolster with his Channeling and thus proved no match to the Positive Energy Channeling party. My new channeling rules based on CW/IW spells of the appropriate level are tamer, so the situation of the players being subjected to that is not going to be as deadly. I was considering this for a while too, but eventually decided that it would be a bad idea. The problem with Energy Channeling is not the total amount of healing it can do - that merely helps to extend the adventuring day. Rather the problem is the damage it can heal per round to all people in a large area and at the same time inflicting the same amount of damage on undead in the area - both of which far outpace the what can be done with Cure/Inflict spells of the appropriate level.
