Proposal: Versatile Channeller allows you to take any channel divinity power

[Mal Malenkirk]

Hadrak has taken Healer's Mercy for his channel divinity power but I still want to be able to do the archetypical blast of divine will against undead. Both healing and dealing with undead falls within the cleric archetype, after all.

So I have taken the Versatile Channeller feat at level 6. It allows you to take a channel divinity power from another class but not a second one from your own.

I selected Abjured Undead because it uses the same implement (holy symbol). It is a pretty powerful power; it only targets one undead but I'll be doing 4D10+10 (plus vulnerability) and pulling him, preferably right into the fighter. Very powerful.

But seriously... Why can't I take Turn Undead!? Why I can't I select both of the archetypical cleric channel divinity power through the versatile channeler feat?

I'd be much happier with Turn Undead from a flavor POV. Power-wise, it's about the same but it's more cleric-esque and less stiker-esque. It's silly that a paladin can learn turn undead from Versatile Channeler but a cleric can't.

I'm fine with it, i'll wait a little bit for others to chime in though. Wow...Hadrak's already 6th? When I finished with him you were only 3rd right? How quickly they grow up ...

Somebody cheated and used DM Points. Grumble grumble.

Hmmm...sneaky bastard didn't even record it on the tracking sheet

Jeez I've got 22 credits...maybe Murphy will be the first to Paragon...

You caught me! I edited. But one of these days I will successfully cheat and nobody will understand how Hadrak has reached Epic before anybody else reached paragon. MWAHAHAHAH!

You could always just say his god granted him powers... nobody can question the gods right?

Hey! What are you doing online? Montreal's up 4-3 in the third

4-4 damn it. There is no such thing as a comfortable lead against Washington.

........ that is all. Screw you Backstrom

Oh, I'll vote now...YES

I'm perfectly happy with Hadrak using VC to take turn undead. I'm a little worried about the wording of the proposal. "allows you to take any CD power" is awfully broad.

cov, that's what the feat is anyways right, except that the feat says any class other than your own.
