Class talent

This is a Universal Monster Rule — a class feature gained through that class's own talent choices, not a feat you pick through normal feat selection.

A creature with this special quality (usually an undead) is less easily affected by channel energy. A creature with channel resistance adds its listed bonus on saves to resist the effects of channel energy, including effects that rely on the use of channel energy (such as the Command Undead feat).
