I debated with myself about taking the Spirit Guide archetype for an extra channel pool but tbh running out of channels is rare. I instead chose the Pei Zin Practitioner.

The Pei Zin Practitioner has a few interesting features.

They are really good at Profession Herbalist. They add their level to Profession Herbalist checks and the skill is keyed to charisma instead of wisdom. This replaces any skills your mystery grants.

They get a Lay on Hands ability pool. 1 +charisma mod times per day, Heal 1d6 per 2 levels. Others as a standard action or myself as a swift. This ability replaces my level 1 revelation. Cant start with channel.

Quote:This ability counts as a paladin’s lay on hands ability for the purposes of feats, spells, and effects that work with that class feature when it is used for healing purposes.

Most items that help Lay on Hands specify that you must be a Paladin so I'm not sure if they would help me or not.

At 7th level they when they use Lay on Hands they can make a profession herbalist check to remove a condition. But the DCs are high. Ranging from 20 to 35. This replaces my 7th level revelation.

So some things I'm sure on.

Starting with 20 charisma and the Fey Foundling feat. And Murderous Command for when healing isn't required,

At 3rd level take the channel revelation and the selective channel feat. Props to Andrew for reminding me that casting Shield Other with a reach metamagic rod allows the target more freedom.

At 4th level I want the spells Grace to avoid melee and Shield Other to keep the heavy hitters alive.

At 5th level I want the Life Link revelation.

Some things I'm not sure about.
