If channeling(any color) is an available skill for a career and you're an elf (who meets all the requirements) can you use the same tier of that career to take a different channeling(any color) skill or would you have to start a new career/reach a new tier to take a different channeling skill? I ask because I've seen a career that has the channeling(any color) skill on two different tiers.

A Skill (Any) in a career path allows you to take one specialisation of that skill. Sometimes you can take more than one but it will be clearly stated - for example: Skill (Any Two).

Basically, if, for example, you take Ghur then you treat it as if the career had Channeling (Ghur) written instead of Channeling (Any) for all rule purposes.

If your Elf PC wants to take more than one specialisation of Channeling then you have four options:

  • Channeling must appear in the career path multiple times.
  • You switch careers to another career that haz Channeling (for example: you may want to switch between the specialised wizard careers from Winds of Magic as you master each wind).
  • You take the Training Endeavour while Between Adventures and buy advances in a Channeling specialisation for normal XP price (and some gold).
  • You simply buy all the other Channeling specialisations outside the career for double the XP.

Keep in mind, that to buy another specialisation of Channeling you must first master the wind you are currently learning (so you must have at least 20 advances in that wind's Channeling specialisation and know at least 8 spells from it's lore - and even then you can know only as many lores as high is your WPB) ("Multiple Arcane Lores" - Core, page 238).
