Feats for Channeling

(Dromoka Dunecaster by Mark Winters)

Like my earlier Master Channeler, here's a few feats that hopefully make Channel Energy a bit more viable in PF1.

Disabling Channel Channeling Feat Prerequisites: Good, Channel Positive Energy 3d6, Heal 5 ranks Your positive energy can disrupt a living creature’s natural biorhythms. When you channel positive energy, you may choose to have it deal nonlethal damage to living creatures rather than heal living or harm undead. This does not count as Harming Living for the purpose of feat prerequisites or variant channeling.

Prestigious Channeler Channeling Feat Prerequisites: Channel Energy class feature. Treat your effective cleric level as three higher for the purpose of determining channel dice, uses, and DC. This feat cannot raise your effective cleric level above your character level.

Adding onto my headcanon about Zaun culturally valuing art and literature:

The names in Zaun have meanings. Not just in the "Oh, my name means 'flower'" way. These names are primarily references to poetry or music or literature in some way.

This idea comes in combination with my headcanon that Zaun has a different dialect/sister-language to Piltover (like how the Romance languages share a common origin but are different, or how there are a bunch of different types of Spanish but they're all still considered Spanish).

The Zaunite characters' names seem strange to us because they're either a reference to something, or are transliterated Tolkien-style from Zaunite/old Piltovan (at some point League said Zaun was the original Piltover before it sank).

Which is why we see names like Powder and think, what the fuck? It's because it's a transliteration of a name that doesn't really make sense in our IRL languages. In reality, it's probably considered a pretty normal name. Just like how straight up naming someone "beautiful" doesn't sound normal in English (whereas "Hope" does), but is fairly standard in plenty of other languages (ex. Belle/Bella).

Similar to Ekko and why it's spelled this way. It's not "echo but more masculine/quirky," it's actually a name with an entirely different meaning that HAPPENS to sound like our English word "echo." We see phenomena like this IRL all the time (called "false friends"), of words in unrelated languages sounding similar even though they developed entirely independently.

Vi (short for Violet) works fine because it is, in fact, an easily translated name. But the name itself is also in reference to a classic book/song/poem.

Names like Silco, Vander, and Claggor either couldn't be transliterated/localized or sounded even weirder in meaning than Powder. Mylo either is another "false friend"/cognate name, or is a localization of his actual name. Regardless, all of their names are in reference to literature, poetry, and/or some other artistic expression.

(I'd like to add, before I forget- that Vander's name IS real- according to the Internet, it's Greek for "good man", which might not be real but I'm taking it and running with it as a name from an old play or something).

Googling Sevika's name gave a pretty straightforward meaning- it apparently means "female servant"/maid in Hindi (please correct me if I'm wrong, those who know Hindi). Which. I'm not trying to think about the negative implications of that, though there are many. So I'll try to make a positive spin on her name and say she's another "false friend" name, and it means something entirely different in the Zaunite/ancient Piltovan language.

Look. My fellow Objectums. You have to love who you are forever, Okay? I know it's not always easy, especially right now, but you can't let anyone shame out of being who you are. You're wonderful, you have to remember that the way you are is wonderful, you love things in a different capacity than some other people, and that's beautiful. Don't let the naysayers win.

He's already a self serving bastard. What do you think Monaco was?

I have faith in him that he can do worse. For example Pierre ended that race with points, this can change (ꈍᴗꈍ)♡

The funniest thing about wasp cup is like. I’m having so much fun writing it! It’s probably my favorite thing I’ve ever written. Creating it is a huge joy in my life. And yet, it will likely have next to no critical acclaim even though I’m putting a lot of love into it. by virtue of it being a sadalinar mpreg fic. Like. I understand and I largely don’t care but I’m having so much fun and nobody’s gonna like it other than me. Worst case scenario people start bullying me over it. Worth it just because writing shit I want to write rules but like. Oh my god ohhhhhhh my god

Master Channeler (Prestige Class)

(Daybreak Coronet by Johannes Voss)

(Channeling is in kinda an odd spot in Pathfinder; generally speaking, it's just not worth an action in combat to heal or do a weak AoE attack, especially not if you're packing around a full cleric spell list like most channeling characters are. Despite this, Paizo has given them a number of feats- something Clerics rarely have to spare- as well as Variant Channeling in Ultimate Magic. I love the flavor of channeling, so this class is an attempt to make a channeling characters viable.)

All clerics can tap into one of the two energy planes, Positive or Negative, and draw upon their power to provide healing to some and damage to others. Some clerics, however, find themselves particularly drawn to these planes, and uncover the untapped versatility of this ability. These are master channelers- those who have unlocked the secrets of channeling the raw creative and destructive energies of the inner sphere, and use this ability to great- and versatile- effect in battle.

Role: Master channelers provide regular support to their allies, able to access a wide variety of boons that affect their whole team, while also being able to damage and debuff a surrounding group of enemies. Alignment: Master channelers may be of any alignment, although they tend away from true neutral, as channeling raw creative and destructive energy leads to strongly held ideologies. HD:d8

Prerequisites

Skills: Knowledge (religion) 5 ranks Feats: Extra Channel Other: Ability to Channel Energy 2d6

Skills A master channeler gets 2+int mod skills per level A master channeler’s class skills are Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (nature) (Int), and Knowledge (religion) (Int)

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies

A master channeler gains no weapon or armor proficiencies.

Channeler (Su)

Levels in master channeler stack with levels in a class or with racial hit die that grant the ability to channel energy for the purposes of determining number of dice used in channel, the DC of the channel, and similar channel-related qualities.

Versatile Channeler (Su)

A master channeler is an interdisciplinary master of channeling energy. When she channels, she can choose between positive energy or negative energy regardless of alignment or her deity’s alignment.

Channeling Touch (Su)

As a standard action, a master channeler may expend a use of her channel and make a melee touch attack. On success, the target is affected as though with her channel, including variant channels, but does not get a save to halve damage, and all healing or damage done uses d8 dice instead of d6.

Spells

When a new master channeler level is gained at the designated levels, the character gains new spells per day and spells known as though she had gained a level in one divine spellcasting class she was in before being a master channeler. She does not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known (if she is a spontaneous spellcaster), and an increased effective level of spellcasting. She can only gain spells this way from one class- once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. 

Powerful Channel (Su)

At level 2, a master channel’s energy becomes particularly powerful. When channeling energy, she adds her charisma modifier to the amount of damage dealt or healed. 

Variant Channel (Su)

At level 2, a master channeler begins studying how to channel energy beyond simply damaging or healing. At level 2 and every two levels thereafter (4, 6, 8, and 10) she chooses one type of variant channel from the variant channel list and, when channeling, may instead choose to apply that channel’s effect. She still only heals half as much or deals half as much damage when using a variant channel. Additionally, if she already uses variant channeling instead of “normal” channel, she can choose to add “normal” channel instead of a variant. 

She cannot choose a variant channel that opposes her alignment or religion (a cleric of life and healing cannot choose the undead variant channel, a cleric of a sea god cannot choose the fire variant channel, etcetera.) If she changes her religion, she may retrain opposed variant channels. 

Channel Feat (Ex)

At level 3 and every two levels thereafter (5, 7, and 9), a master channeler gains a bonus feat from the channeling feat list. 

Floating Variant Channel (Su)

At level 10, a master channeler gains a floating variant channel. At the beginning of the day, when preparing spells, she chooses one variant channel that she does not already have. For the rest of the day, when channeling, she can choose to channel with that variant channel. This is in addition to the 5th variant channel she gains at level 10.

you and your f/o(s) finally have time to relax and decides to take some extra days off this festive season! where are you going and what will you be doing? 🌴

no pressure in answering, and please take your time! <3

Hi Rin!! <3 I'm finally getting to this ask, sorry for taking so long because I absolutely knew I wanted to answer this when you sent it! 😭💕

Alhaitham and I would just spend the holidays at home. Just him and I (and maybe Kaveh, he's allowed because he is babygirl). We would spend the time before the holidays just decorating the house and baking cookies. Reading, watching our favorite shows, cooking some good food, or ordering takeout. Just... generally treating ourselves to some downtime. (the baking and decorating are mostly initiated and done by me... this man would not decorate on his own nu-uh but Kaveh and I would be all over it).

I tend to get really sad/depressed on Christmas Day for personal reasons so he would just be there for me and spoil me to get my mind off the sad things. Even though it will take some effort to do that but he will go the extra mile because it's me 🥺

Especially with Kaveh also there, there will be enough bickering and life in the house that I will have no time to even waste a thought on being sad.

I think I'd like to invite Cyno, Tighnari and Collei over for a Christmas Dinner as well. We could play card games and all sorts of fun stuff together until late at night. They all leave in high spirits and me and Haitham just tiredly fall into the bed after and cuddle until we both fall asleep. 🥺💕

Not me crying because I wish this was my actual Christmas, brb

Wriothesley and I would probably do the same in prep for Christmas. Baking, decorating, spending time together. We would go to the Christmas market, drink some mulled wine and he'd have to borderline carry me home after because I get tipsy from the stuff so fast but always insist on drinking some every year lmao.

On the day of Christmas we'd just spend the time together preparing some fancy dinner just for the two of us while listening to music and dancing in the kitchen (it's a whole concert). We're not stressing over anything and just go with the flow since we both didn't really celebrated Christmas as a child we just live our best life now and turn the holiday into what we would like it to be. We just chat the evening away over dinner and then watch a movie together on the couch while cuddling up to each other. I will eventually fall asleep because I know myself and he carries me into our shared bed and tucks us in 🥺💕

if the blue jays get ohtani.............................. Guys

[laurenreneelca]

Hi Friends - welcome to my page :) todays message has come to me before bed and I’m grateful you’re here to read it :)

My question to ask others: what am I closing myself off from receiving?

Am I closing myself off from love from the universe?

Am I open to receiving gifts, opportunities and new experiences?

These things can be material - but for me I am specifically focusing on the spiritual and internal experiences from the present moment.

When I connect with my breath - I connect with God. To me breath is life - breath is God - God is breath and God is life. It is what keeps us alive and Guides us. It’s not just an action for mindfulness but a navigation system my body has to drop me into the other minds in my body - the heart mind and the gut mind.

The heart mind is my higher self and the gut mind is my immediate intuition. When I tune into my heart and my gut I can tell if the feeling I get is positive or negative - if it’s negative the feeling will alert me to pause and walk away, exit, and leave the situation. Therefore in this instance the breath literally saves me.

For example when I stop and breath - and tune in - and I feel uneasy - I go back to my mind and think - first is this my energy of uneasiness or is it the person I’m with, the place I’m at, or the situation I’m in.

Then I can separate myself from the situation - and take the space to recognize it was either someone else’s energy and not mine to carry, not a good place for me, or it triggered me into something I need to address myself. This helps me move through life with ease - because I know these tools with God are always with me/

It’s become second nature to the point it takes about 4 seconds of inhale and 4 seconds of exhale to immediately tune in — and if I can’t leave - I can tune out and allow my body to deactivate from the negative response. This is emotional cognition of self.

When someone else around me is activated and I am in the position of “calming” or de-escalating - I first can let them get all the problem out. I let the person speak freely and openly - and then I validate - and the question I always ask is what do you think you should do - can you give yourself grace in this moment to understand yourself and what you’re going through better - and be okay with the fact that you are frustrated - let the individual find their own solution because 10/10 times they already know the answer - and just need someone to listen and say it’s okay.

So today - out of everything discussed and learning how to gauge your emotional natures - how can you move around in life the way you want to? What word would you best want to describe your demeanor? How can you embody it?

I like to look up the frequency/sound of the level of feeling I want

Most of the time I reach right for the abundance frequency of 888 hz. This gives me auditory activity that allows my mind to cognitively process the vibration of abundance. After repeating daily, this sound immediately brings me to a state of peace and positivity - because I know when I play this sound that I’m ready to focus on getting myself spiritually aligned.

This is also a gratitude frequency. When we thank th universe for the experiences it gives us, it will give us more and more of those experiences bc we now have acknowledged the gift of the present experience and when we acknowledge the gift - we are in direct communication with the universe and God. This is saying to the universe - “thank you for this moment - it feels like a blessing, a gift, and a beautiful moment.” And the universe will keep affirming that acknowledgement with more of those moments.

When an unpleasant experience visits us, we can simply say - thank you universe - show me what you want me to learn 🙏🏼 this has been a great day and I hope you continue to learn alongside me as I write my channeled lessons here on my page.

Sweet dreams

Lauren

one woman's blessing is another woman's curse

traversing the ruins of the city is dangerous- a rare moment of kindness from Cameilla could throw the whole group into jeopardy if Mura doesn't handle the aftermath right.

featuring: the complicated dynamics of having to please Seelah and Weduag at the same time, Mura doing some manipulationTM while trying to not succumb to her rage and the star of the fic: the easily forgotten fact that cure wounds can damage dhampirs[whoops]

the slow crawl through Kenabres was as painful as it was dull, brief moments of violence scattered across damaged streets.

damp soaked through the cloth on her legs, some even seeping through her corset. her awareness was hyper-focused on everything around her, all the side alleys and crevasses, and the itching feeling of blood-wet cloth was an unfortunate byproduct.

no matter how much of the blood that soaked into her skin was her own, she continued on. one more bloody step in front of the other, one more bloody corpse to tread over, the rest of the group dogging at her heels.

her eyes had been growing wider, and her moments less controlled, her teeth bared in a snarl more. she had given her body over to instinct a few blocks ago, bored out of her mind at the rote violence.

the gaps underfoot started to curve, and she tore her eyes away from the unaware enemy ahead to compare the center to the revelry before the demon kings decent. so much had changed in so little time.

a nod of her head was all Seelah needed to start advancing, Wenduags crossbow hitting the first creature unaware, causing the group to turn.

it was over swiftly, but Mura was no fool, she had fumbled a hit and been left open to counterattack, it hadn't been much, but given the bloody trail she had been leaving, it had tipped her over into a level of pain that would not be good to stay put, not with danger still lurking around every corner.

the clink of a sword into a sheath, and the half elf extended her hand brimming with healing light towards Seelah, the paladin being low on them herself.

a shake of her head and Mura looked around the square, the knife throwing stand she had excelled in. the bloody stain from the dragons demise, a glint, nay a glow coming from the rubble nearby? eyes narrowing once again, she made to walk towards it.

movement behind her, a bright burn in the back of her eyes, her hair standing on end, all in a split second, but it didn't help her as she screamed into the broken night, something tearing through her veins, a foreign magic crawling through her, taunting her as it scorched her from the inside out.

Hands that had become fists were now splayed with aggression, her nails looking more like talons in the dim firelight, a pink glow washing the horrified face of the damn half elf, the shock in her eyes the only thing that broke through the pain enough for her strike to be redirected to her shoulder, gripping it so tight she could feel the warm blood running from her talons, and the few drops that failed to make it escaping through the skin.

fire burned through her, warming her like a loving embrace, promising to make the damn fool suffer, how dare she.

fool. that's all the damn woman was, a fuking fool.

that thought didn't help her rage.

a soft plea cut through the fire, the damn paladin.

the fired dimmed, showing the faces of her companions.

Seelahs soft plea for mercy and forgiveness, Wenduags sneers and talks of rightful punishment, she could hear them in her head already, even as the words they spoke were as close to her understanding as the flakes of ash in the wind were to burying her.

she focused on the woman in her grip, and the considerable amount of money her father was going to pay her for a job later, focused on how she had spent years hiding and obscuring her nature, how she wasn't to know.

raged pooled in her teeth, and she pulled it into her mind and spine, forging the molten metal into steel, drawing herself taller, preparing her voice to be gentle as steel, understanding laced with disappointment.

'that was foolish of you' a well practiced disappointed sigh, 'you could have been gravely hurt if i had any less control' push the hurt onto her, distract from how close Mura had been to writhing on the ground like a mewling babe.

'instinct serves you well in battle, but healing is something that should not be done carelessly' make it a teaching moment, praise her, but don't let her forget her failure.

notice Seelahs fear fade into hope. hope that will be squashed sooner or later- but not today.

pray that the half elves shock overrides her arrogant personality.

'i will forgive you this once, Cameilla. you are an excellent fighter, and id hate to lose that' let honestly show through, let her be aware that the only reason she was spared was because she was deemed more useful alive.

make her voice go deeper, more dangerous, 'i hope you can prove that forgiving you is the right thing to so' tell her that forgiveness musts be earned, constantly. see Wenduag nod despite her distaste at the mercy her mistress has shown.

slowly lift the pressure of her grip, harden her glare into the other woman's eyes even more, before turning and walking away through the fire, between the two witness, both sated in their own way.

don't show fear at turning her back on them, don't show doubt. dismiss them from her mind, like they could ever effect her, ever be a threat to her, like Cameilla only committed a petty social slight.

mentally schedule a separate talk with Wenduag, to reprimand her for showing dissatisfaction with her mistresses choices. note to not explain why you made those choices. that woman needs careful handling, but she is useful- and if her promises of a mongrel army come true, well it would be worth the headache that comes from dealing with her.

while examining the corpses with a detached air, pull a scroll of inflict harm out of your boot and relish the healing that seeps through your bones, the glorious pain that precedes it, washing away the scorching glow and its after effects.

debate the merit of tearing into the still warm corpse.

hope that her delicate balancing act between punishment and forgiveness, rage and kindness hadn't ended with disaster, watch the wobbling slowly subside in the movements and sounds of the rest of the group until she could take the silence and lack of steel or bolts in her body as proof it worked out, that the bar was still.

don't let out a sigh of relief.

spine strait, walk with confidence.

motion for them to continue on, towards the temple.
