Paladin : my Channel Postive Energy drains my Lay on Hands : this normal ?

[Baraz]

When my Paladin (default: subtype) uses her Channel (heal group), she loses 2 uses of Lay on Hands. I am a rather veteran player of D&D and Pathfinder and do not remember ever playing it that way.

Is my version bugged or is this by design ?

Note : if this is not normal, note that I am using the Turn-Based mod, which does try to fix some bugs or tweak some stuff to be more like pen-and-paper. But I am guessing it is just Kingmaker doing an interpretation of the rules I am not reading "well".

Working as intended.

Hello,

I read the Pathfinder rules on the Internet more slowly and, you are correct, the Paladin Channel cost 2 uses of Lay on Hands (snif).

EDIT : the Extra Lay on Hands Feat might be something to consider (might).

Hmm, interesting.

I thought I knew my stuff and I reread Channel/Lay on Hands a few times and never noticed they use the same resource for the default Paladin. I am a fanatic of user-friendly details: so if I was a game designer, the info would be presented quite differently with a full in-game "wiki".

I still love my Dwarf Paladin/Cleric woman (as main character in Varnhold's Lot DLC). (That racial combo is not great, but the headband of +4 to all mental stats helps a lot!) Her Saving Throws are off the charts!

Hospitaler is nice for a first run-through as it provides adequate melee DPS, decent healing and above-average survivability on normal difficulty.
