You can channel energy to temporarily reduce damage you and your allies take from some sources.

Prerequisites: Channel Divine Energy, Charisma 15+, Level 3

Benefit: As a standard action, spend one of your channel divine energy attemps to send out an orison for protection to all allies within 18m. All effected creatures receive 10 + your charisma modifier points less damage from the next energy attack. This bonus must have been used up until the start of your next turn or it expires.
