Hex Channeler spell scaling

[StickyFingaz]

I don't understand. I built a Dhampyr Hex Channeler who uses Negative energy channeling because the combo seems amazing roleplay-wise.

It says Hex spells scale with Intelligence unless you choose that particular Witch archetype I don't remember the name, that scale with Charisma.

So I put 20 on intelligence and dump charisma.

I wanted to get the ''selective channeling'' talent but it says it required 13 Charisma. I said alright, it's odd but im gonna repsec then.

Why do Hex spells scale with intelligence whilst Talents scale with Charisma ? it's stupid. I get a DC of 12 only for my negative energy channeling and a DC of 16 for hex spells. Why not scaling with one OR the other ? it's stupid. Normally you need Intelligence OR Charisma OR wisdom. not 2 of them.

Sorry for my broken english. I'm not sure if i'm being clear. Can anyone please confirm my understanding is right ?

EDIT:
I think Energy channeling is mostly a Cleric feature and since cleric uses Charisma, it also applies to my Witch. Hex Channeler looks like it's just a Witch with a cleric feature. I should've just pick the regular Witch.

Yes that's because hex channeling is just the regular channeling that scales off charisma just like with the cleric and paladin.
Other Hexes work with intelligence.

Hex Channeler's Channel Energy DC is calculated 10+ 1/2 Witch level + Charisma modifier, but not the die. You have to select the Channel Energy hex each time to increase its damage/healing by 1d6 damage anew.

A Ley Line Guardian's Conduit Surge uses Charisma for calculating daily uses as well. Though the ability also secondarily relies on Constitution for increased Fortitude saves against the feature's side effects.

Hagbound's Vile Curse is another Witch archetype feature wholly relying on Charisma as a casting stat. It being an unlimited Bestow Curse spell-like ability, rather than an supernatural hex.

Alright thanks to both of you.

You mean at each level up ? I need to select this talent at each level up if I want to increase effect by 1d6 ?

Correct, each time you can select either a new hex or choose to increase the output of your channeling.
