Or how to make your choice of deity do the most for your channel divinity powers, domains, items, paragon paths, and epic destiny choices.
Whether you have a deity picked out for character for RP reasons and want to know what you can do with it to make your character work better, you have a character concept and you want to pick whatever deity works best to optimize it, or something in between, then this should help make sorting though the hundreds of options clerics, avengers, paladins, and invokers face a bit easier. And once you have made your choice this will explore the different ways to enhance your choice through picking your at wills, items, paragon paths and other choices that make your deity work for you.
If you already have a deity picked out and want to know what matches it in the guide, you can use the "find" function of your browser to search out the deity name after opening up the spoiler blocks.
How to get a channel divinity power:
All regular avengers, clerics, invokers, or paladins start with at least 1. If you hybrid as one of these classes you can get a channel divinity power by using a hybrid talent feat. A non divine character can use the feat divine channeller. This only gives access to that particular channel divinity power once a day, but you count as a member of the class for all other prerequisites. You can then pick up a separate channel divinity feat and use that power each encounter.

Rating Sytem. (I will try to rate the various feats based on class, don't know how I will organize that)
Red: Don’t take this, there is always something better
Purple: Might be useful sometimes, but there are almost always better options
Black: Good enough
Blue: Good choice and might be the best depending on different factors.
Sky Blue: Almost always one of the best choices[/quote]

Channel Divinity
I will generally rank channel divinity powers on how useful they are for performing your class role, how commonly you will use them, and occasionally will downgrade powers that provoke OA or if they take more than a minor action. So ranged powers generally will be slightly downgraded vs close burst powers and use you judgement when I recommend a ranged power since clerics and avengers in particular have both ranged and melee powers.
Classes (Or what you get for free)
Avengers
Divine Guidance This lets allies make a second attack roll against your oath target as an interrupt.
Abjure Undead Kind of like turn undead, but without the feat support and pulls instead of pushes.
Clerics
Divine Favor +1 to your next attack or save. This is not much, but is useful to every cleric in every encounter. Can be augmented a little by feats and paragon paths and all clerics get it.
Healer's Mercy A close burst healing power for bloodied allies that also weakens you. For many clerics, weakened is not a big deal.
Turn Undead Close bust that pushes, damages and immobilizes undead. Feats can make it target other creatures as well as other tricks. Uses wisdom and an implement so strength clerics may not be that accurate with it.
Invokers
Rebuke Undead Like turn undead but dazes. Not as augmentable as turn undead.
Paladins
Divine Mettle Ally gets a save with a bonus
Divine Strength You do extra damage on your next attack.
Paragon Paths
Platinum Mantle (Chromatic Bane) An immediate interrupt +2 untyped defensive boost for you and your allies in close burst when you are hit by an area/close attack.
Censure Devils (knight of the chalice) Weakens Devils.
Settings
I am only going to list those that I think are worth considering for at least one class.
Points of Light
Any
Corellon's Grace This gives you an extra move action almost every encounter, but you have little control when it will be.
Moradin’s Resolve At higher levels there are a lot of large creatures that you will get a +2 untyped bonus to attack
Pelor’s Radiance This is like turn undead, but it stuns.
Raven Queen’s Blessing Ranged healing
Divine Rage(No prereqs) Anyone can take this feat. Close burst wisdom vs will implement power that pushes and gives penalty to attacks.
Avengers
Avandra’s Rescue Switch places with an ally
Kords Favormore than other classes you will be critting enough to get good use out of it from low levels.
Clerics
Armor of Bahamut Ranged damage reduction for an ally
Avandra’s Rescue Switch places with an ally. Mostly for clerics minoring in defender
Ioun's Poise OK Defense boost for ally
Melora’s Tide Ally Regeneration
Invokers
Armor of Bahamut Ranged damage reduction for an ally
Melora’s Tide Ally Regeneration
Paladins
Avandra’s Rescue Switch places with an ally
FR
Power of Amaunator Tack on extra radiant damage.

Chauntea's BlessingAn ally gets to reroll a save with a bonus
Eyes of Selûne Reroll a save
Glittergold's GambitAlly can reroll an attack or skill check
Kelemvor's Judgment Sort of like turn undead for any class.
Fleetness of Mielikki Bonus to speed and ignore difficult terrain.

Eberron
Arawai's Abundance Good healing/defense bonus
Beacon of Dol Arrah Can be skyblue for heavy radiant using parties
Light Within Depending on party makeup and movement abilities, multiple allies might be able to get healing from this.
Onatar's Gift You or ally get bonus to will defense and do extra fire damage.
Sovereign Justice Give an ally temp hitpoints when you are damaged.
Traveler’s Gift Allies in close burst can shift 1 and lose any marks.
Undying’s Command Vs will attack that dominates undead.
Avengers
Might of Dol Dorn Temp hitpoints when you hit with a melee attack
Clerics
Boldrei’s Shelter Close burst power bonus to defense.
Kol Korran’s Boon For pacifist clerics this is useful.
Might of Dol Dorn Temp hitpoints when you hit with a melee attack
Shield of the Silver FlameSave against specific effects in close burst and get temp hitpoints equal to charisma when they save
Invokers
