It's a good question. On first thought I'd say yes; divine feats aren't overpowering, and these feats substitute directly for turning -- you expend a turning use with each divine feat.

Of course, this could put too much power into a single ability score (like a feat adding your Dex modifier to damage instead of Strength), so I'd be somewhat wary allowing the feat in the first place.

Your English is better than our Portugese.

I would say yes on turning damage, but no for divine feats. That's a common sense ruling, but it's probably what I'd allow for my game.

I would say yes on turning damage, but no for divine feats. That's a common sense ruling, but it's probably what I'd allow for my game.

I would tend to agree.

IMHO, it is too ripe for powergaming for a single feat to allow everything to stack on one stat. It makes it too easy for Owl's Wisdom or (hypothetically speaking) Improved Owl's Wisdom to boost the bonuses into the stratosphere.

It would make for a reasonable feat chain to create a Superior Serenity feat that subs Wis for Cha with Divine Feats. Two feats seems like a fair price.

If you mean no. of times you can use divine feats, then I'd say you can base that on your Wis (since these feats typically rely on using turning attempts). For effects specific to individual divine feats, I'd say they'd still be based on Cha.
