I have been playing for a year, and my DM has been playing for 3, and we have NEVER played a game with a cleric, or any sort of healer.

Im not BSing you. We've fought dragons, medusas, mindflayers, you name it.

However, I dont want to play a cleric.

I want to be a Shugenja or Favoured soul.
Favoured Soul has been houseruled to be charisma for DC and spells per day.

I REALLY like Shugenja for the Rp aspect of it, and cuz we have two anime fans in the group, but I don't know how it is power-wise. i dont want to suck ass.

and Favoured soul.. Well, i like the concept, although I already played a character with similar fluff. (It was a of Wee Jas, and isntead of a favoured soul, it was a Deathtouched Sorc.).

And no, i cant use the spontaneous cleric from UA, cuz I have a second problem.

i dropped 50$ on CD, and havent used a single thing from it. So I want to use a class from there, and spirit shaman looks pretty bunk.

Looking forward to your replies.

P.S. No builds, and no prestige/multi class ideas. i dont do either of those.

The Favored Soul is my favorite class by a long shot.

I play it like a self-buffing warrior. Generally War God(ddess)s are what I shoot for. The free prof is ust gravy. Ours isnt houseruled like yours (Saves and DCs being Cha based) so I just dont bother with damaging spells for the most part.

I get healing spells, self buffing spells. A few metamagic feats, like Max. and goto town.

The only real down side is the lack of Undead Turning, which can hurt when 15 skeletons come at you.
