Basically, the "sorcerer" version of the cleric class--a cleric who uses spontaneous casting for all spells. |

| Ah, OK, thank you. Like the shugenja in OA, which I happen to read right now. |

I'd have to go with sorcerors (though I also like Favored Souls) simply because we got more information on the 'types' of sorceror and their spellcasting than we did the Favored Soul.
Though being a FS who is empowered by a deity either alien to or just illegal in the local culture could make for a fun character background. |

| I have to vote for the Favored Soul. As an all around character vs the more spellcasting type. While I have mainly enjoyed playing as a sorcerer myself, I have recently learned that Favored Soul cast about as many spells plus healing, and can handle himself in combat quite well if things turn smash and cut. |

| I like both really. They are actually the same thing with different power sources. I do like flavor of the favored soul although I don't like the name as much (should have been the Mystic) and I always thought it was dumb they would be proficient in their deities weapon. Why? They don't even need to be associated with their deity at all. They should have left that with the clerics |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

| I like the idea of Favored Souls. Especially the Weapon Focus of the Deity's weapon....more combat oriented but weaker with undead than cleric....but compared to sorcerer, yeah I would take Favored Soul me thinks. |

favored soul.
cant cast domain spells, but can have a blast casting while airborn, have to do so with spells or other abilities as a sorcerer, or wizard for that matter. |
why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power
