Would Divine Might work in an AntiMagic Field?

[reapersaurus]

It's not listed in either DotF or the FAQ, whether the Divine Might divine feat (unnamed CHA bonus to damage) is Ex or Su.

It requires the use of a turn attempt to activate - does that necessarily dictate that the ability is Su?
Aren't most feats Ex, unless specified?

Is the answer listed anywhere official?

Thanks in advance for opinions/references.

Most feats are physical, not magical in nature, so Ex is more appropriate. I think divine might compares more closely to the monk abilities that are Su (in flavour and 'magicality'). I would rule Su in the absence of any text to the contrary.

Channelling positive or negative energy is a Supernatural effect. Divine Might works by channelling energy.

This does mean that you can use Share Spells to give your Dire Lion nifty bonuses to damage, though, since Share Spells affects Spells, SLAs, and Su abilities...

Leave it to you, Hyp, to find the sick symbiotic benefit of having it be Su.

Though, just because the ability that fuels it is Su, doesn't mean the feat is Su.

Actually, if I was to compare it to an existing ability, the Paladin's Smite Evil is Su...

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not...?

'course, that's not where it stops. It's when you buy your Dire Lion an Animated Shield so it can benefit from Divine Shield as well that it gets fun

[side comment] isn't it kind of silly that there has been no official word about Divine Might?
I don't see why we should have to guess about an official feat's Ex or Su-ness. [/side]

I personally think it's clear, but you could always email Customer Service...

(Of course, since the last "official word" on Divine Might was the whole free action activation fiasco, who knows what they might come up with?)
