Channel Energy Question

[Sargas]

Hello

I have a question about channel energy.

the PFSRD says :
The amount of damage dealt or healed is equal to 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage for every two cleric levels beyond 1st.

is each creature healed for this total amount ? or does the total amount split up to all creatures ?

i think that makes mass cure light wounds obsolete.

Channel energy at CL 11 = 6d6
mass cure light wounds at CL 11 = 1d8+11

Thanks

Each living creature in the area heals that amount, unless you have the Selective Channeling feat. Meaning, the monsters/bad guys get healed too.

But you can also get horrific rolls. You could roll all 1's and only heal 6 on that channel (average roll should be around 20) while MCLW would give you a minimum of 12 (average of 14.5). As mhossom also stated, unless you have selective channel, the enemies would be healed as well by any channel you use.
